Dahad it's more about the future than the past in the share market.
As posters above keep providing reference to, there appears to be a fairly constant stream of fresh news and activity from the company
and are money-making events.
Again it is in a different place than it was with dividends and so on.
To be realistic quite a few people are still wary about the general market.
From the individual company's point of view, though, the recurring revenue makes them a little more attractive I think anyway.

IMO

Hopefully the results next week underpin the recent rise in the share price and we have a continued rise to the previous high levels rather than a retrenchment. Tempting for some, I'm sure, to realise recent gains, or parts thereof. I unfortunately have 260 as my entry point!!

Big trade gone through - well over £1m worth.

[someuwin] 24/11/2016 14:08

Drops being bought up.

[someuwin] 24/11/2016 10:57

250+ soon imo.

[hazl] 24/11/2016 09:09

Thanks hanzoo

Chilled here,after that its the dividend,etc, 8-)

[someuwin] 22/11/2016 11:11

Very quiet today - three trading days ahead of interims.

[hazl] 21/11/2016 14:30

Well KNOS really is popular again.
I think people can see the mix of stability and potential here,reinforced by dividends.
Roll on 28th!

[someuwin] 21/11/2016 10:27

...Worth having a look at EMH imo.

Largest lithium resource in Europe. Demand will rocket for batteries for electric vehicles and domestic power storage

KNOS has been volatile but its got a good foundation,I feel.


Not getting much new at the moment but did get some STAR this morning despite the drop I think there are a few buyers in there.IMO

[someuwin] 21/11/2016 09:23

Strong growth.

Increasing dividend.

No debt.

Perfect SIPP stock - imo.

[hazl] 21/11/2016 08:23

why not indeed?
Things point to renewed interest,in my opinion.

[dahhad] 19/11/2016 09:47

IMO we need good results on 28th, otherwise I fear some of the recent surge in share price could be lost. Fingers crossed.

[hazl] 18/11/2016 15:15

Agree with your post reoccurring revenue very useful indeed, a sign of a good service usually and predictable sah flows and so on.
Can get recommendations.
Working upto results nicely.

IMO

[someuwin] 18/11/2016 15:01

Nice £57k buy there.

[someuwin] 18/11/2016 13:16

KNOS are increasingly transitioning their customers over to an SaaS model (Software as a Service). i.e the customer doesnt't pay a big upfront sum to purchase the software outright but pays a regular license fee to continue using it and to receive updates and enhancenments.
This has many benefits:
More customer sign ups as the initial cost is less (although over time KNOS will receive much more)
Increased customer loyalty as they are effectively locked in to the product.
Greater options for cross-selling and upselling etc.

(PC users will remember when you would buy Microsoft Office once and own it outright. Now you are 'encouraged' to purchase Office 365 as a subscription and pay £n each month. Seems chaeper - but MS get much more of your money over time.)

Thus with KNOS they are growing the amount of RECURRING revenue coming in (and that's the best kind of revenue there is!)

[someuwin] 18/11/2016 11:58

I honestly believe KNOS can just keep growing and growing for the foreseeable future.

Being a software company they can adapt their products to suit any sector, organisation or business...

I felt the same about CHOO Ed ....that seems to be in recovery mode as well!

Value outs in the end I guess.

IMO

Wow. Can't believe it. At one point I was down about 4K on this from some over zealous buying after the IPO. I know they say don't hang onto losers but I knew this would come good. I've now broken even today (phew!) and going to hold as I think there's more to come from this cracking company.
