Bloody hope so!

[johnsoho] 14/1/2022 10:30

Reckon it will be a good update, I think the share price maybe being manipulated to allow those in the ‘know’ to buy in cheaply.

[xtomo] 13/1/2022 16:23

("Kainos" or the "Company")

Kainos strengthens Workday offering with Blackline acquisition

Kainos Group plc (KNOS), a leading digital technology company and Workday (NASDAQ: WDAY) services partner, today announces it has entered into an agreement to acquire and completed the acquisition of Blackline Group Inc ("Blackline Group"), a private United States based company.

Established in 2009 and headquartered in Washington state, Blackline Group is a speciality services firm that focuses on procurement and is an experienced advisory partner for Workday Strategic Sourcing (formerly Scout RFP). The business has been a Workday advisory partner since Workday acquired Scout RFP in 2019.

Blackline Group has assisted companies with overcoming critical procurement challenges for more than a decade. During this period, the business has helped some of the world's largest organisations transform more than $100 billion in total spend. The company has over 50 consultants across the U.S. and is looking to build on its current presence in Europe.

The acquisition of Blackline Group further strengthens Kainos' capabilities in the Workday ecosystem and will allow Kainos to offer best-in-class Workday Strategic Sourcing advisory services to its customers, complementing its already deep expertise across Workday Financial Management, Workday Human Capital Management and Workday Adaptive Planning. The acquisition will further enhance Kainos' Workday presence in North America and Europe by adding over 50 spend management and procurement consultants from Blackline Group who will support the expansion of Kainos' Workday capabilities, client base, and expertise.

The acquisition is Kainos' sixth in the Workday partner ecosystem and the third in the Americas, after the acquisition of IntuitiveTEK and UNE Consulting.

Kainos has acquired 100% of the share capital of the Blackline Group and the entirety of Blackline's business. The terms of the acquisition have not been disclosed.

Brendan Mooney, CEO, Kainos, commented:

"We are delighted to announce the acquisition of Blackline Group. The procurement expertise of our new colleagues, paired with our deep experience with Workday, will allow us to expand the support that we can provide our existing customers, not just in North America, but across our global operations.

We are always striving to achieve the best business outcomes for our customers and extending our capability to include procurement helps us to achieve this goal. At the same time, we are also excited by the new opportunities that combining the experience and expertise of the Kainos and Blackline teams will create for our business."

Rotation out of tech.

[johnsoho] 07/1/2022 17:07

Reckon the share price will bounce back upwards next week, perhaps to £18.75 or so per share!! , as always, time will tell.

[mrbeaky] 05/1/2022 14:54

Other software/tech companies are getting hit as well - SCT has followed the same pattern

[johnsoho] 05/1/2022 14:03

Knos share price seams to be bouncing about like a yo-yo, anyone any idea why ?

[roguetraderuk] 17/12/2021 14:18

a high flyer that might suffer next week if tech sell off in the states continues. one youd look to pick up after a drop but as it stands a bit expensive right now.

[pyglet] 09/12/2021 14:39

Anything under 18 is a buy. Keep nibbling away

[sunshine today] 23/11/2021 09:11

By comparison, tiny TRD has just seen it’s finance Director buy stock, (0.17%), that equals around 0.5% of the free float.

[ali47fish] 18/11/2021 17:07

that's smidgen for a director/chair

[johnsoho] 18/11/2021 16:53

Good news, and with a closing share price price of £18.30 he’s already in profit!!!.

According to ADVFN share trades at the moment today their are far more Buys than Sells and a lot of the sells appear to be automatic trades!! I suspect we maybe in for a bounce in the share price later today……….certainly hope so as I think the half year report was actually pretty damn good!!! As always, time will tell.

[jomool001] 16/11/2021 08:42

article in the times online might dampen sentiment

[mrbeaky] 16/11/2021 08:26

I was expecting a bounce today but another 4% down so far

[sunshine today] 16/11/2021 06:27

Or TRD on a PE of 12 .!

That’s before you realise that over 25% of the market cap is cash.

So real PE is a tad under 10.

Plus it’s paying a divi.

The trick with Kainos was to buy before investors realised its growth potential, those that did, have been rewarded many times over.

I wish I had.

Well done.
