It sells software to banks who have lost $400 billion this year and may consider tightening their pursestrings perhaps?

[frdjacob] 02/3/2008 22:47

The share price has fallen 40% in 3 months!
Any ideas why?

[dr darkstar] 02/3/2008 22:22

Looks like the next major leg down here, through a descending triangle and no support in sight... next stop where??

Is SG a user of MSY sytems? If not, could it have saved their embarrassment?

[impecunious] 24/1/2008 20:55

Didn't do much good, sadly. Seems some brokers refuse to believe they are as resilient as MSY claim to be.

No-one around for the Interim results?

[boadicea] 20/1/2008 16:49

Just my natural optimism, I suppose!
The background market and sector behaviour may likely be the deciding factor.
In this respect the development of its Far East connections could be critical. The next two years are going to be a very interesting period as the world rebalances its perceptions of economic power.

[horneblower] 20/1/2008 13:58

boadicea,
I considered that, but from experience will stick with these lines. But you may be right.
Even if it breaks upwards the likelihood is it will revisit the bottom blue line imo.

[boadicea] 20/1/2008 13:42

.... or you could redraw the upper line more accurately to the immediately preceding two peaks and show the current share price as a potential upward breakout of the channel.

[impecunious] 18/1/2008 18:46

I belive they are scheduled to provide Interims on Thursday.

[boadicea] 18/1/2008 12:18

No comment on here, but the market is obviously taking a very positive view of the potential arising from this China contract. The share price was thrown a lifeline amidst the carnage of the past few days!

[h4rsh2] 07/1/2008 11:21

next stop 150p..as per charts..

[boadicea] 10/12/2007 18:01

So UBS downgraded MSY.
Perhaps that was on the basis that they themselves wouldn't have any money to spend on software in the near future.
(See today's report on UBS.)

[msy] 04/12/2007 21:20

why has the price droped?

[lyntwyn] 09/11/2007 11:12

'Sell' vs 'neutral' at UBS; tgt to 220p vs 260 on valuation

Misys and HCL partner to take on banking market
Author: Ian Grant in New Delhi
Posted: 11:49 30 Oct 2007
Banking and healthcare software supplier Misys and Indian outsourcing firm HCL are joining forces to attack the banking market in emerging economies.

Their first customers are the Indian Overseas Bank and the Metro Bank in Manila, Philippines. Both will use a new streamlined process from HCL to upgrade their installations of the Midas core banking suite and Opics treasury management software respectively.

Describing the five-year deal announced today in New Delhi as "strategic for Misys", Misys CEO, Mike Lawrie, said there were three parts to the deal. "We will rely on HCL to maintain and develop banking products and solutions. We will partner with them to provide banking services capabilities to new customers, and we will go to market together in fast-growing economies," he said.

HCL CEO, Shiv Nadar, said more than 200 million Indians are expected to open bank accounts in the next five years. HCL would offer to supply and manage a "complete solution" to new banks for applications and infrastructure. This includes banking in a software-as-a-service format to new and existing banks in India, Malaysia and Singapore.

Lawrie said some 1,200 banks worldwide use Misys software, including some in China and Australia. These are hot prospects for the new upgrade and application centre that HCL will run. "This is a critical path issue for banks, so we will include education and training to expand the skills base," he said.

Misys already has a large software development centre in Bangalore. Lawrie said there are no plans for HCL to take it over at present, and that the two sides are already working together.

Very little press or broker comment so far on today's announcement.


LONDON (Thomson Financial) - Software company Misys PLC said it has entered into a partnership with India's HCL Technologies to jointly market its banking, and treasury and capital markets products in India, Singapore and Malaysia, enabling them to gain market share in the fast-growing economies.

HCL has also selected Misys as its preferred banking software partner, the company said. [e-mail] ro/faj/sal


"This is another step in the re-building of Misys to deliver value for our customers in a faster and more efficient way," said Misys.
"Partnering with HCL, who have an unrivaled track record and are clear leaders in their field, provides a significant opportunity to leverage their skills and proven expertise to gain access to one of the world's great growth economies," it added.

Last week's announcement about going open source (in healthcare sector) did reap some comment (and subsequent share price rise)

[boadicea] 02/10/2007 11:54

This is a rather sudden advance and I can see no news to support it.
Leak, rumour, tip, or what?

[impecunious] 11/9/2007 20:04

Yes, I have added.

Think it will be a bit volatile for the next few weeks (in keeping with the market generally) ... Then onwards and upwards.

time to buy is at 220pish..........me thinks, trader 11!
