Should see a renewed rise over the coming days

[a2584728] 18/11/2020 07:39

Someone is accumulating

60529 @205p on the close.

Another higher 'low' in the chart. Looking good. Now need to get to 210p in the next few days... ... then 220p by the end of the month for a likely position in the ftse250.

Someone is accumulating stock

[deputy303] 06/11/2020 16:06

Up and down like a yo yo

At the end of October a share price of 202p would have qualified NCC as a candidate for the FTSE 250 index. The next qualifying date is not until 2nd December and anything could happen before then. My estimate is that a number of existing 250 stocks will have suffered rather more from the covid lockdown than seems likely for NCC and that we are likely to enter (possibly re-enter as I assume we have previously been in it). Entry competition includes other strong candidates, notably BIOG. In this context the Montanaro investment [see yesterday's holdings rns] is interesting as they specialise in smaller companies. Perhaps they hope to make a turn by warehousing NCC for selling on to index trackers following our entry.

I would not be short of this stock right now

[boadicea] 06/11/2020 08:21

Last night's closing auction for 5273416 @ 209p was well out of line with prior trading and it surprises me that it didn't trigger a pmr. There was a later signficant trade at 208+p. I think 210p, possibly 220p, beckons as someine is clearly keen to build a position (or very unwisely short?) No doubt all will become clear in due course. No time to sell imho.

Hope so fingers crossed see what tomorrow brings

[a2584728] 05/11/2020 17:04

Looks like we could be off from here

[deputy303] 05/11/2020 16:59

Nice rise end of day crashed through £2

[boadicea] 04/11/2020 20:20

A recent closing high today, although it was higher intraday and still below the intraday high of 199.6p on 12th Oct. Tomorrow is problematic in terms of US politics and could rob us of the chance to puncture the 200p barrier. However, markets sometimes react strangely/perversely so who knows!

Progress is hesitant and anything but exciting but I like the look of the chart. There is a long succession of higher highs and higher lows forming a well defined and somewhat converging channel. Their operational functionality should not be intrinsically impacted by latest covid measures but there may be some indirect backwash from struggling customers. Interims are not due until 4th Feb and the company have not been in the habit of updates around the half-year end (Nov 30). They would be well advised to provide one this year in view of the volatile conditions - not to mention some fidgety shareholders.

It will be interesting to see how they respond in practice to the shareholder vote on director's remuneration, despite their rhetoric about the majority of their 25 large shareholders

[a2584728] 20/10/2020 14:42

Robust and growing. Says enough for me, should see it rising next couple of weeks

[a2584728] 16/10/2020 10:20

Blue finish

[boadicea] 08/10/2020 20:14

The chart now looks fairly reassuring with a series of higher highs and higher lows creating a channel which could peak at ~200p within a couple of weeks - more or less in time for the AGM (20th Oct). I think we can expect a guiding statement for the occasion. Looking on the optimistic side, we have these statements from the last Annual reults - "... notable business in the period was secured from customers including Zoom, Google and Facebook" [Ed: see recent figures for Zoom!] and "-- The long-term growth prospects for the cyber resilience market continue to be excellent as the connected environment and society's dependence on that connected environment continue to grow." So opportunities are certainly there. Against that, the damage inflicted by the negatives are hard to evaluate but, one feels, should impact NCC less harshly than companies heavily dependent on discretionary spend in the recreational and entertainment sectors. However, clients' difficulties could lead to some unrecoverable debts. My personal evaluation is that on balance it remains a 'hold' - but dyor.

[a2584728] 01/10/2020 10:01

Someone accumulating at this price?

[a2584728] 17/9/2020 16:58

Have we broken out?

[jerseyman1] 07/9/2020 15:47

As a long term holder my memory failed me a bit! £1.20 in last year, sub £1.00 a few years back! Time flies!Point re profit taking still valid, just less of it.....

[ilovefrogs] 07/9/2020 14:25

Sorry, but when exactly was this 'relatively recent' low of sub £1 JM1?

[jerseyman1] 07/9/2020 13:04

Sellers seem to be holding price back. Hope they get out soon. Understandable to take profit if they have doubled their money since relatively recent lows sub £1.00

[a2584728] 07/9/2020 12:07

Red finish?
