I don't have access to the BOFA analysis, but broker notes and ratings do have an impact on day to day trading.

BOFA CUTS KAINOS GROUP TO 'UNDERPERFORM' (NEUTRAL) - PRICE TARGET 1350 (1817) PENCE

My best guess is a read across from the Darktrace trading update today but 7% off is a big hit..go figure

[mrbeaky] 11/1/2023 08:42

I’ve been searching around for an explanation but couldn’t find anything either

[johnrxx99] 11/1/2023 08:14

Being hit today - any news?

[qvg] 29/12/2022 13:50

I don't think their recent transaction was actually an add. My reading is that they switched some derivatives into shares, total holding remained the same

Now Liontrust back up to 5.38% - they should make their mind up!

[someuwin] 21/12/2022 17:15

Liontrust Investment Partners have reduced from 9.87% to 4.87%. Explains much of the recent high volume. But who has bought the shares?

[someuwin] 20/12/2022 17:21

Non-Executive Director buys initial £100,000 worth of shares.

[someuwin] 16/12/2022 17:20

Being a software company, KNOS can work in any industry segment. This means limitless opportunities.

Just re-reading the HY report we can see that they've moved into Defence (Defence Science & Technology Laboratory DSTL - Artificial Intelligence Delivery Partner), and Policing (Secure Policing HQ - Cloud Migration Partner).

But the news I'm particularly excited about is their concerted move into the Finacial sector...

"In the UK, the commercial sector expenditure on IT is over three times that of the public sector. While this represents significant opportunity, to increase our likelihood of success, we have initially chosen to focus our activity on financial services customers.

Like all large organisations post-pandemic, those within banking and insurance are increasing their levels of investment in digital transformation. This, coupled with our growing references in the sector has driven a rapid increase in activity as we have helped established customers like Concardis and New Ireland and new customers such as IMCO, Danske Bank and Federated Hermes Limited."

These banking / insurance companies tend to have huge legacy IT infrastructures that need constant modernisation. Many opportunities for winning more very large, long term contracts here imo.

Amazing fast recovery from lows

[volsung] 16/11/2022 13:55

Bought in again after a 10 month absence

[someuwin] 16/11/2022 08:57

...And at some point, they'll likely upgrade to 2,000p. Then 2,500p. Then 3,000 etc etc.

Point being that (assuming the world doesn't end) then big companies' reliance on complex IT systems needing more and more bespoke software development will only keep increasing. And KNOS are increasingly serving those needs.

A true Buy and hold forever stock imo.

Kainos Upgraded at Berenberg on Strong Underlying MomentumPT to 1,700p vs 1,200p

[kalai1] 14/11/2022 12:42

Kainos Group plc posted its HY report this morning. Revenue was up 26% to £179.8m, adjusted PBT was up 16% to £34.0m. Period-end cash was up to £97.1 million. The business generated very strong international growth, up 53% to £61.0 million and continues to transition to a global business with over 1/3 revenues now generated internationally. The team has grown to 2,920 people an increase of 20% from 2,438 in H1 22. The share price is moving back higher through H2 with the wider market. The Group is also high quality with solid balance sheet. Valuation looks a little unhelpful with forward PE ratio at 32.6x and in the bottom quartile for the Software & IT Services market. But the share has traded on multiples much higher than this over the past 5 years. BUY....
