buffythebuffoon - I have him filtered please don't feed him or show us what he has typed. There is no point following anything he says from experience. Onwards with KNOS. Lower lows and higher highs hopefully. Just waiting for some of the news to come to support and drive the share-price. Perhaps have to wait for 2016 but will not complain if any Xmas gifts arrive ;-)

Far from it hanzoo.
Lack of inflation is educating the elderly.
Government debt has become local and risky.
There is a rush to the bottom in interest rates.
Quality companies with international earnings are the only safe haven whilst politicians fiddle.
The UK is heading slowly and inevitably to bankruptcy.
The danger is that politicians will want to tax successful companies for being successful, but this one is too small for that.

I'ts a fair enough question hanzoo and I was concerned a while back and sold quite a few stocks and am mainly cash.

I kept hold of the best of them; companies which I hoped would weather any storm( this was in that category for me),or some that I have had for some time.
None of us can know how it will pan out but you have to weigh it up on an individual basis.
Kainos looks a good company going forward to me.

IMO

In the first six months of trading as a listed company, the software firm headed by Brendan Mooney achieved turnover of £37m in the six months to September.

That's up almost a third on the previous six month period.

And in that time it's landed big contracts, including with the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and the New York Public Library.

Mr Mooney said Kainos is now one of a small band of firms selected to work alongside Apple as part of its 'mobility partner program'.

That means Apple will now be working with the Belfast-based company at high-profile joint sales events.

The latest results are from the first trading performance since Kainos became one of just three Northern Ireland firms on the London Stock Exchange, back in July.

Kainos helps the healthcare industry and the Government digitise their work.

Chief executive Brendan Mooney, who hails from just outside Dunloy, joined Kainos in 1989, when it employed little more than a dozen staff.

It's grown staff numbers to 788, across its seven offices, with 440 working at their base in Belfast.

And despite the company going public, Mr Mooney said little has changed aside from it becoming "a little busier".

"I'm very pleased with the results. Revenue was up almost 30% ... it's a great way to start off our maiden release on to the market," he said.

He said Kainos had secured 30 new clients across its business, over the six month period.

And now that it's gone public, he said things day-to-day hadn't changed significantly.

"While there is some comment on share price; new staff, existing staff and customers are the common conversations inside the business."

Kainos is also still expanding its workforce here, adding 55 new staff over the last year.

He said more than 6,600 people had applied for the new posts.

"We prefer to grow organically. We rely on the talent. I prefer to focus on generating work in the marketplace."

But despite more than 90% of its business taking place outside of Northern Ireland, Mr Mooney said there were no plans to move away from Belfast.

"We have access to a fantastic talent locally ... our business has historically been out of Northern Ireland.

"There is no reason for us to consider Belfast anything but a growth area for us."

And looking at the next 12 months, he said he was "confident about going forward".

"We see strong demand in clients and the wider market place. We are really confident about the future."

IT giant is happy in Belfast as it reveals £7m profits

looks promising for a growing company....

[hazl] 14/12/2015 10:18

If there is a christmas rally,this is one of the stocks that could bounce back I would have thought.
Anyway long term the prospects are the attraction.

Looking steady here now. Take a bit of time to get back to the highs probably so with luck some news early in 2016 re: Workday progress or more Evolve work may be the trigger. In the meantime here are some KNOS related links to show the potential here:

KAINOS DIGITAL:

Electoral -

MOT -

Cutting over

The previous MOT mainframe service has recently been switched off after 10 years of use. All garages have been using the new MOT digital service since August, during one of the two peak months of the year. This demonstrates the confidence DVSA had in the AWS platform and the Kainos WebOps team to deliver it was well-placed.

Conferences - Digital Government Conference

Workday - Included amongst the 20 Best Implementation Partners:

Clients: IFDS -

Netflix -

Investors Chronicle view after Nov. results:

Boston office -

“Proximity is something that we know our clients are looking for and the opening of our Boston office will help us service our clients better. There is a bright future ahead for Kainos Smart,” Will concluded.

Evolve -

Staff and training -





Ideas:
