At this rate we will be closer to 20p before the trading update comes out.

"The government could save at least £20bn a year by modernising IT systems, tackling fraud and getting a grip on failing mega-projects such as the HS2 rail line, according to the head of the independent spending watchdog. Speaking to the Financial Times ahead of his annual speech to parlia- ment today, Gareth Davies, head of the National Audit Office, painted a picture of a troubled British state buffeted by Brexit, Covid-19 and the war in Ukraine, with "out of date IT systems", "crumbling" infrastructure and growing "maintenance backlogs"."
....
Davies said that failures such as Horizon and the abandoned £10bn IT system for the NHS pointed to the value of smaller, better-targeted projects.
"The phrase used in the IT industry is 'dolphins not whales': so, manageable projects compared to gigantic, overam- bitious attempts to change the world with one IT system," he added.
"There are enough positive examples that we can be confident there's more to come."

14.74p paid, highest in 3 months.A half decent trading update and hopefully the gap on the chart gets closed for starters.

One needs to distinguish between winning places on framework agreements, and actual contracts.

First one needs a place on the framework and then win contracts on those frameworks.

Also note both framework and awards often take days, weeks, and sometimes months to be published on Contracts finder and Bidstats.

Has Made Tech been awarded one or more large contracts this month, that have yet to become official. ?

SCSWs record here isn't great. Tipped it at IPO (130) then again at various different levels that are mostly above where we are now. Was a tip for 2023 too. Basically says they dropped the ball last year, hopefully won't this year. The above summary from blackswan is roughly the same.

Management have it all to prove. I've only got a small position here that is well under water, and I won't be increasing it unless they can show they are competant.

Interesting lots of contract wins. Busy!!

same moves as last year and then it jumped straight to 40p

[parob] 16/1/2024 08:25

Haven't been able to find what the SCSW tip says but there's this from 21/12/23hTTps://blackswanshares.substack.com/p/3-microcaps-for-20243 microcaps for 2024MADE TECH GROUP (MTEC) MC £16 milThis is a mini KNOS, software co which specializes in digitisation projects for central and local UK government. The share price has been an absolute disaster since ipo. Again, this is another human capital intensive business which hired too many expensive employees at the top of the market and coupled with normalizing demand after covid, meant a tough, loss making period in which the ceo decided to shift focus on profitable growth by cutting costs, etc. The main positive with MTEC is the net cash position. It has c £8 mil net cash and this should be more than enough to support the transition to profitability without dilution. The main weakness is that these gov contracts are on a "call off basis" ie there are no defined time schedules so the timing of contract delivery it's entirely at the client's discretion. A few delays in timing caused poor staff utilisation rates which in turn impacted profitability but MTEC never lost a client and has a contracted backlog of c £67mil so it's a matter of when, not if. Once these contracts start, the operational gearing will have the opposite effect: super profits.

same as last year and then it jumped straight to 40p

[parob] 15/1/2024 16:15

Full ask of 14p for small amounts going into the close.

[parob] 15/1/2024 13:54

Good to see the volume picking up today. Technical traders seem to be looking for a close above 14p for the next move up.

[marcu saurelius] 15/1/2024 12:58

That is a good amount of money to be spending by the ceo

[parob] 15/1/2024 10:18

SP is still well under the price that the CEO bought almost 900K shares for back in July at 17.14p.And remember the directors are now up to 43%.

[marcu saurelius] 15/1/2024 10:14

The angle of the dangle on the Chart says Bowl to 40p on chart

[parob] 15/1/2024 10:00

Apparently this was one of the SCSW tips of the year, tipped on Sat.Anyone know what the recommendation said?

[parob] 15/1/2024 09:48

Very encouraging to see this building ahead of the anticipated trading update.

[chrisdgb] 15/1/2024 09:41

You wonder whether some of the scrutiny on Fujitsu will somehow filter through to more business for the likes of these guys........???

[lawson27] 15/1/2024 09:40

Nice start, lets see it back to 20s for starters, GLA

[cu5hty] 11/1/2024 13:38

Free float is relatively small, assuming the seller (an assumption there is one) is eventually cleared, I'd expect the share price to motor on any good news. Probably need to break through 14p to confirm a new uptrend and whilst gaps are not always filled, the gap at 27/28p looks inviting.

[parob] 11/1/2024 13:27

Yep and we got a trading update 1st Feb too.Also feeling optimistic!

[bmcollins] 11/1/2024 13:19

Parob
Half year results were 3rd week of Feb last year from memory so I guess we only have 5 weeks or so to wait.
I'm optimistic

[parob] 11/1/2024 13:04

Will wait for the trading update before I set a target. At the moment, I like the risk/reward from these levels and I fancy this closing the gap up to about 27p for starters (over time) if the trading update is half decent. CEO bought almost 900K at 17.14p in the summer. As we know Directors are up to max allowed of 43% under concert party rules. Perhaps some corporate activity over next six months imo.

[hamidahamida] 11/1/2024 12:24

Looks like You are going BIG on this one what's your take profit target
