Good results, with a seasonally stronger H2 to come and a positive outlook for that period.

Peel Hunt have said Buy with a 325p target today:



Ulinbac, it's because of the additional exceptional items this year - it's all outlined in the Financial Review.

The core H1 EPS increased to 5p from 4.5p.

[ulinbac] 21/1/2016 10:35

Why the drop in undiluted EPS from 4p to 3.6p?

Is this due to the acquisition of Fox-IT?

Thanks,

UL

A 'ray of sunshine after a stormy night'. Well done NCC. Pity this Trading update just happened to coincide with 'wider market' concerns, but good to hear that Accumuli has contributed to its current success. NCC is clearly firmly establishing its position in FTSE250 since relogation in Dec 15.

Very happy :)

[sian] 21/1/2016 07:22

Managed to have a little top up this morning 288p!! I am very confident in this stock Launders, i'm only 18 and learning everyday but as i work in the IT industry i know how exciting the next few years are going to be for cyber security businesses, but who knows? lets see what happens :)

[bamboo2] 15/1/2016 08:31

Gap around 253.

As far as i'm aware the Interim results are on the 21st? I think the price will be staying below 300 for Fridays close... So BUY as much as you can before the 21st, anything below 300 is still a great buy imo, this company is fantastic and will be one of the hottest stocks this year! 400+ by end of 2016, 2016/17 is going to be huge for the IT security sector! NCC Group, show me the results i want to see on the 21st!

[lauders] 14/1/2016 14:41

Results tomorrow I believe? If so the price action in this weak market would appear to indicate positivity rather than the negativity. Below 290 may not be possible, but then again anything may be possible at the moment!

[lloydtrader97] 14/1/2016 10:25

Will be buying more when below 290, great stock £££;££

NCC Group invests over £1m in Leeds cyber security operations centre



NCC Group, the global information assurance specialist, has invested more than £1m in a new state-of-the-art UK cyber security operations centre (SOC).

The new SOC, which will provide cyber security monitoring and defence 24 hours per day, 365 days a year to NCC Group’s clients, further increases the Group’s managed services capacity.

Based in Leeds, the SOC is home to around 40 full-time employees providing a range of monitoring, response and investigation services.

Lee Driver, director of Security Operations, said: “Cyber incidents, both internal and external in origination, continue to increase in volume and sophistication to the point that they now make the headlines on an almost daily basis.

“It’s important that organisations not only maintain traditional security controls, but continue to evolve their ability to rapidly detect and respond to threats and this investment shows our commitment to helping our customers address their cyber security resilience challenges with a unique and deep specialism.”

In addition to including traditional protective monitoring and investigation capabilities, the SOC and its portfolio of managed services offers an integration of leading commercial security technologies coupled with NCC Group research and threat intelligence to provide a powerful capability to UK and international clients.

NCC Group also has another SOC in the Netherlands as a result of its recent acquisition of Fox-IT

Prentis commented, ‘We added two holdings in the IT sector, NCC Group and Softcat. NCC is a global information assurance specialist providing organisations worldwide with escrow, verification, security consulting and domain services. We took part in a placing to fund the purchase of Fox-IT, based in the Netherlands. Fox is a leading provider of high-end cyber security solutions including advanced threat intelligence."

Cyber Security must be a prime consideration for all CEO's throughout 2016 and beyond, see following article for details :

[mazarin] 01/1/2016 15:35

For the record we started the year at 210.0p and 300.0p at close for 201 (42.8% up) , so it'll be interesting to see where we get to this time next year...?

[shauney2] 31/12/2015 11:03

Surprisingly good article from the master investor magazine on cyber security.

NCC gets a mention.

Been watching here for a while. Almost bought in the 280's but held off due to what looks to be a small gap around 253. Anyone else noticed this?

[mazarin] 28/12/2015 18:30

Included in the header - wishing all holders a 'Prosperous New Year'.

Ex ACM holders might be interested to know that Gavin Lyons and Simon Duckworth (both ex ACM) together with backers MXC look likely to be creating ACM Mark 2 with PINN where both have been appointed and where MXC took part in a placing earlier in the year. Early days but possibly worth monitoring.Apologies O/T but related.
