Well done! Time in not timing!

I lost small amounts of money on this 3 times trying to time an entry but got there in the end around 4.50 - Im surprised how illiquid it is though given the market cap... all other IT firms I follow have been producing decent results so hard to see Kainos not delivering especially given the international potential of their workday testing offering

Only 7 more trading days until interim results.

Feeling more confident now that Brexit Deal is in place.

[actybod] 24/10/2019 23:29

Yeah. Feels like a march back up to 650 on the cards.

[someuwin] 24/10/2019 16:23

Nice moves today.

No stock is completely 'safe'. But this one is a lot better positioned than many others imo.

[ali47fish] 17/10/2019 10:45

i wonder if this is now going up to where it was a few month ago- would be nice to add but is it safe with market turbulence-anyone with insight please comment

[actybod] 15/10/2019 18:28

Yes a healthy march up to 550 for starters would be nice.

[someuwin] 15/10/2019 15:58

Looking better now.

[gswredland] 14/10/2019 18:57

Thanks for that someyouwin
This is some way of its highs

[someuwin] 14/10/2019 10:51

Absolutely fantastic Kainos research on Sharescope...

[robow] 11/10/2019 14:59

well said Someuwin

I believe KNOS will keep trending (with peaks and troughs) upwards forever.

As I've said before, the world will never have enough software. And as well as creating new applications, the existing ones will always need upgrades, enhancements, maintenance etc. etc.

KNOS are the best in the business and have ample ability and agility to adapt to any software needs that emerge.

Buy and hold - forever.

[actybod] 11/10/2019 12:58

Will this lift beyond 6 ?

[someuwin] 11/10/2019 12:29

One month till interim results.

[someuwin] 11/10/2019 11:20

I'm pretty confident we'll be at new highs as we go into 2020.

[nimbo1] 11/10/2019 08:43

Buying in today - surely stands a decent chance of rebounding?!

[ali47fish] 08/10/2019 09:13

this share price fall is intriguing- could this really be to the NHS? all the time on no new news! when do we get a reversal!

Hazl,

With the neverending political uncertaity, it's difficult to ascertain the right rating for many stocks right now. The theme clearly has been one of numerous sectors being in bear markets with similar downtrending moves like KNOS.

So when does the uncertainty end?

Oct 19? Jan 20? June 20?

Your guess is as good as mine. You simply cannot trust the buffoons in office to come together to form a clear path forward; one that provides certainty to the country and financial markets, thus allowing stocks like KNOS to rally back higher.

What does it mean for stocks like KNOS?

You can see by the daily volatilty in this stock that the market is trying to figure out the right rating too. What I would say is that this stock has alot of support around the 400 mark.

If it ultimately settles around that mark, and you can be confident that the political morons can find a way forward in the not too distant future (too optimistic?), you can have more confidence in a the growth trajectory towards eps of 20p. A 20x rating for the level of growth isn't excessive imo and would represent value.

However, I am just not very confident at the moment. I have no faith in political elite and I believe too much damage has now been done. We are seeing this in the reports of numerous company outlooks whereby cautious statements carry real weight and risk now.

In the earlier period, it was just the weaker management and companies that would use Brexit and politics as an excuse, so much so that it would make you chuckle. The game has changed now, too much time has lapsed, the economy is deterioriating and once that confidence erodes, it just means a whole batch of profit warnings will follow now - that is my expectation.

Perhaps I am too bearish now. That doesn't mean you can't take short term trades or find longer term value as ratings are eroding, but I'd continue to be cautious here in the near term.

I'd want to see that chart break the downtrend, stablise and move sideways for a while, to at least a signal a bottom is in. At the moment the stock keeps making new lows, so despite being oversold (and prone to a short term oversold move higher), the overall trend is still down.

It's volatile - one of the harder ones to read, gaps a hell of alot too frequently so I rarely trade it. I will be looking for a position once it stablises and forms a more solid bottoming chart pattern. Then we just take a read on how the morons in office are doing, whether that means the worst is now priced in for the likes of KNOS and take a long position or averaging in at that point.

I'll come back at a later date or folk will think I'm deramping. Remember noone here can influence a stock. I do want to buy, but have no position currently. It's just a waiting game at the moment and watching the headlines (sigh)

Sphere25 a good post.
Not invested but interested what would you consider a good price taking all that into account?
