Kainos Share Discussion Threads

Funny story is many years ago I had a well known fintwit expert say that a share had a high PE and it got in my head so I sold for a small win. It now is 10x higher and the guy said the PE was high as it went all the way up. I would have added 50% to my account if I ignored this! Suffice to say I don't listen or follow this guy anymore but he is still very popular out there

Haven't you been saying that for a while

Very high p.e no room for slip ups.

When are the upcoming results please guys?

[johnrxx99] 10/5/2021 07:46

Does anyone have any views on the upcoming results?

Personally I reduced after the rather weak update.

Wow, that sounds good grahamhacker - where is your source? Was there an earnings announcement?

[grahamhacker] 16/4/2021 15:33

ADVFN's PE is based on last years figures, this years forecast is 46 :-)

It means "fully valued" or "overvalued". I have been tracking Kainos for a while and while I think it looks a very decent company with good prospects, I certainly wouldn't buy it at this sort of price - particularly after the 100% plus
increase in recent months.

I might be wrong of course, but I can't see the share price continue to rocket in the near future. Although, I should say that I regret taking exactly the same view on Games Workshop 12 months ago, when the share price was about £50 (compared to over £100 now!)

glen what does up with events mean - i come across it often never found the meaning? i hope not sell

[glenowen] 16/4/2021 09:00

Impressive update, but with a market cap of nearly £2bn and PE of over 100 (as per ADVFN summary), I think that the present share price is more than "up with events"!

Solid forecast, still a good way to go with these guys and gals.

[someuwin] 16/4/2021 07:36

Positive update, but no blockbuster. Will it be enough to sustain recent rises?

"...results for the year ended 31 March 2021 to be at the upper end of current market consensus forecasts."

[davr0s] 09/4/2021 17:50

Been consolidating for a while - no need for news for the price to break given the big growth

...And this from just a few weeks ago:

KNOS don't like to blow their own trumpet, so I will! This announcement hidden on their website last week is a huge achievement and another valuable service / integration they can offer to all their existing and future customers.

For context, WorkDay (NASDAQ: WDAY) is valued at $62bn. And DocuSign Inc (NASDAQ: DOCU) is valued at $38.5bn.


Kainos Achieves DocuSign Gold Partner Status - 24 March 2021

In less than a year, Kainos has established an invaluable partnership with DocuSign, following a custom integration with Workday

London, UK – 24 March 2021 – Kainos Group plc, a leading digital technology company, has been named as one of the select DocuSign Gold Partners globally.

With more than 750,000 customers and hundreds of millions of users around the world, DocuSign pioneered the development of e-signature technology and now offers it as part of the DocuSign Agreement Cloud. The partnership will see Kainos expanding its technical capability in all aspects of the DocuSign Agreement Cloud, enabling existing and new customers across commercial, healthcare and the public sector to harness the full power of end-to-end digital agreement management.

Through this partnership, Kainos, a Workday Services and Software Alliances partner, has developed a custom integration that connects Workday Human Capital Management (HCM), including Workday Recruiting, with DocuSign’s Standards-based Signature capability, to deliver Qualified and Advanced e-signatures and advanced Identify verification tools. Workday HCM is a unified system that enables organizations to make faster decisions, gain operational visibility, prepare for future talent shifts, and build effective teams. Workday Recruiting is an end-to-end talent acquisition application which helps organizations manage their entire recruiting lifecycle in a unified system.

This custom integration between Workday and DocuSign developed by Kainos is an innovative solution that offers clear operational efficiencies that are particularly important now that many businesses have employees working from home because of the pandemic. For example, HR departments who are onboarding staff can have employee contracts or NDAs signed through DocuSign using enhanced multi-factor authentication functionality – and be legislatively compliant – in one seamless process without leaving the Workday system. This is the latest example of how Kainos has driven innovation within the Workday ecosystem, helping customers increase the value of their Workday deployment.

Kainos CEO Brendan Mooney added, “Working with DocuSign is an exciting opportunity for everyone at Kainos and presents real potential for both our customers and theirs to work better, smarter and more securely. Our rapid appointment to Gold Partner status recognises the innovation and value of this initial collaboration and indicates the potential for Kainos and DocuSign’s long-term strategic partnership.”
