08/3/2018 16:47	jerseyman1: markth I understand that Sophos serve a different segment of the cyber security market to NCC, and that NCC are in the main more reliant on selling expensive consultants hours rather than standard solutions as per Sophos. However Sophos wouldn't be the first company to take over a company in the same sector with a view to improving its services offering whilst also believing it could shift more standard solutions to the acquiree's customer base. It would also probably be a welcome move in the City with them claiming to be diversifying their income stream in a rapidly growing market, particularly following the share price fall in Feb which looks like it was due slowing standard product billings in the second half of their financial year, despite confirmed profit guidance for full year. It's also four plus times the size of NCC's market capitalisation so a deal could easily be accommodated. Read Full Thread Follow Reply
06/3/2018 09:54	jerseyman1: SOPH share price on the up again, so could make sense to add another string to their bow. I know that public profile is not necessarily a good thing for a CEO, but there has been no presence from NCC new guy, and no apparent progress on disposals that were trailed last year. Last year was a bit messy what with Cottons departure so it's hard to compare news flow but I would have thought we were due a Q3 RNS around now....Just very quiet Read Full Thread Follow Reply

Hopefully the next period's results will see continuing increased revenues as against largely stable costs of expansion as flagged today.

13/12/2017 15:48	markth: NSL, the company he came from, is a vanilla outsourcing outfit with no cyber offering. From LinkedIn, this chap's a chemist to trade, who moved roles six times in ten years while at QQ. His most recent move from being a Managing Director into Business Development looks worthy of a question at the shareholder meeting (for those still holding). I don't see any "wealth of business experience" ... "track record of success" ... "in the ... cyber security sector...". Nor do I see any compelling reason to take it on trust that "NCC will flourish under his leadership". He does have experience of selling a business, which might prove useful. However if someone was going to come in for NCC they surely would have done so when the share price was in the toilet several months back, rather than now. In summary, I can't see why the City are in favour, it's possible they know something I don't, but the share price trend is downwards since his appointment and that's why I'm out.

22/2/2017 13:36	igoe104: Cyber Security Firm's 50 Percent Drop Fuels Takeover Speculation by Joe Easton ‎22‎ ‎February̴6; ‎2017‎ ‎11‎:206;35‎ ‎GMT NCC’s market value halves as it slashes 2017 profit forecasts Company is now ‘in-play’; as an M&A target, Shore Capital says NCC Group plc’s third profit warning since October triggered a 50 percent slump in its share price over two trading sessions, prompting a London broker to suggest the Manchester, England-based cyber-security consultancy could become a takeover target. In a statement issued late Tuesday, the company announced a review into its assurance division, which performed below expectations, and cut its full-year profit outlook by 20 percent. NCC shares were down 26 percent at 94.25 pence at 11:30 a.m. in London. The company’s market capitalization, which stood at just over 1 billion pounds ($1.18 billion) prior to a profit warning four months ago, has now dropped to about 250 million pounds. The share price decline means the company is now “in-play,̶1; Shore Capital said, noting that NCC will appoint external consultants to lead the review. “We believe disposals, a breakup of the group or indeed a full sale may come under consideration,”; the broker said in a note to clients. A spokesman for NCC declined to comment on whether the company would work toward a sale, or on the future of its Chief Executive Officer Rob Cotton. NCC’s chairman of 17 years Paul Mitchell stepped down in January, with senior independent director and Restaurant Group chairman Debbie Hewitt tasked with finding a replacement. Hewitt will be “crucial”; in deciding the direction of the company, Shore Capital said. NCC was founded in 1999 when the commercial arm of the National Computing Center, established by the U.K. government to encourage personal computer use, was bought out by its management team.

22/2/2017 11:08	tonysss13: IN THE KNOW: New Profit Warning Could Put NCC In Play - Shore [22-February-2017] Sam Unsted LONDON (Alliance News) - NCC Group could become a takeover target or indeed put itself up for sale following its latest profit warning, a statement which suggests a serious slowdown for its Assurance arm in recent weeks, analysts said. Shares in NCC were down 26% at 93.25 pence Wednesday morning. On Tuesday, NCC issued another profit warning for its current financial year and said it has initiated a strategic review of the business, which will include a review of its Assurance arm. NCC - which provides software escrow and verification, cyber security consulting and managed services - said trading in its Assurance arm in the year to the end of May will be "significantly lower" than it had previously anticipated. Due to this, NCC said its adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation for the year will be around 20% lower than the GBP45.5 million to GBP47.5 million range it provided in December, which had already been downgraded. In light of the deteriorating trading, NCC said it will initiated a review of its business and will closely consider its Assurance arm, with regards to how it operates and how it sells its products. The review will also consider how NCC can better use its assets and resources across the business. In light of its "seemingly comforting" interim results in January, Shore Capital's Robin Speakman and Ben McSkelly said the warning from NCC on Tuesday suggests a "severe drop-off" in the performance of the Assurance division. "Given the strategic position that NCC holds in the provision of IT Assurance and security services, where we believe long term demand continues to grow, we believe that NCC should be regarded as potentially being in play," the analysts said, suggesting NCC may become a takeover target following the battering it shares have taken. The analysts reckon the position of NCC Chief Executive Rob Cotton will now come under "heavy scrutiny" and that the strategic review may well see a sale or break-up of the group considered. Shore downgraded NCC to Hold from Buy. N+1 Singer analyst Oliver Knott said an "extended period of uncertainty" is now on the horizon for NCC, which will "make it hard for investors to gain confidence" in the company in the short term. Yet, Knott said he sees "fundamental value" in NCC stock. The company's Escrow arm is not impacted by the warning and, at the current share price, its Assurance arm trades at only 5 times calendarised 2017 earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation. Still, while this looks like an attractive multiple for a "rare cybersecurity asset", Knott said he will await more clarity on the underlying nature of the issues NCC faces. He kept his recommendation on NCC at Hold with an unchanged 138p price target. Read Full Thread Follow Reply
31/10/2016 17:20	masurenguy: smokybenchod - 610: Seconduser that news is for ncc the Swedish construction company What complete and utter nonsense ! The MF article referenced in post #609 above is about this company and not some random Swedish construction company. NCC Group After rising from 200p to 370p in the last 18 months, NCC Group’s share price plummeted back to the 200p level recently on the back of its four-month trading announcement this month. The company warned of setbacks including the cancellation of three major contracts and difficulties with services contract renewals. Management said the cancellations were unrelated and that profit expectations for the year remained “in line with the board’s expectations.” However, the market clearly wasn’t convinced and NCC’s share price fell 35% in the blink of an eye. After several years of strong revenue and earnings growth, there’s no doubt NCC Group was priced for perfection. Revenues had grown from £88m in FY2012 to £209m in FY2016, CAGR of a stunning 24%, and as a result, at a share price of 370p, NCC Group was trading on a lofty P/E ratio of 32 times FY2016 earnings. That left little room for error and after warning of setbacks, sentiment towards the company has clearly deteriorated. As a shareholder, it’s extremely frustrating to see NCC Group fall 45%, however I believe there’s a lot more to come from the cyber security specialist over the long term and as such, I won’t be selling my shares. One thing I’ve learnt from investing in smaller companies than the FTSE giants is that the ride often isn’t smooth. Growth can be lumpy and acquisitions can take time to integrate. However NCC Group is operating in a fast growing industry and I believe the fundamental outlook for the company remains strong. Group revenues for the four months increased by 36% to £79.6m including organic growth of 21% and forward order books and renewals stood at £108.8m, up from £71.9m this time last year. With city analysts forecasting earnings per share of 12.8p for FY2017, NCC’s forecast P/E ratio is now just 15.6 which I believe is a steal for a company with NCC’s growth prospects.

31/5/2016 21:03	igoe104: By Edward Sheldon - Tuesday, 31 May, 2016 \| More on: ARMNCC While London is slowly becoming recognised as a global technology hub, when it comes to investing, it’s fair to say that there’s not an abundance of high quality tech companies listed in the UK. Having said that, here are two strong performing UK-based tech stocks with plenty of future growth potential. Smartphone technology It’s almost impossible to mention UK technology stocks and not mention ARM Holdings (LSE: ARM). ARM develops the microprocessor technology at the heart of many digital electronic devices including smartphones, tablets, sensors and servers. There’s every chance you’ll use ARM technology today without even knowing it. ARM is a big player in the smartphone market and concerns about future smartphone growth have seen the company’s share price stutter recently. And while smartphone growth may indeed stall, you can be sure that ARM won’t be standing still. The company has a strong focus on R&D, and this should help propel the tech giant’s revenues going forward. In 2015, ARM invested £217m in R&D to broaden the product portfolio, and another £74m was invested in acquisitions to accelerate product development and create new revenue streams. One area I’m particularly excited about in relation to ARM is the Internet of Things (IoT). In layman’s terms, this basically means devices talking to each other. It’s an enormous growth market and one that ARM has large aspirations to be part of. As one of the most popular tech stocks in the world, ARM has often traded on eye-watering multiples. And with the company’s strong record of revenue and earnings growth, combined with high cash flow generation and very little debt, it’s not hard to understand why ARM has been such a popular stock for growth investors. After a recent share price correction, ARM’s P/E ratio now stands at around 28 times next year’s earnings. Although this seems a little high at face value, given that ARM has grown its revenues at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19% over the last five years, this P/E ratio is probably justified. ARM Holdings is a high quality company, and while its share price may have plateaued for now, I’m confident the growth story isn’t over here. Cyber security specialist In terms of hot sectors, it doesn’t come much hotter than cyber security right now. High on the agenda for any business leader, cyber security is a huge growth area and one company well positioned to capitalise on this theme is £800m market cap NCC Group (LSE: NCC). Based in Manchester, NCC Group has plans to become the leading player in the expanding global cyber security market, as advanced threats continue to drive security spending. A rapid acquisition spree in recent years has seen revenues grow from £47.6m in 2010 to £133.7m in 2015, a CAGR of almost 23%, and shareholders have done very well in this time, with the share price rising from around 100p five years ago to almost 300p today. A trading update in late April revealed strong momentum across the group, with revenue in the 10 months to the end of March growing at an impressive 60% year-on-year. On a P/E ratio of 27 times next year’s earnings, NCC Group isn’t trading cheaply, but this is an exciting company with potential for plenty of growth on the horizon. While there's every chance these stocks could boost your portfolio returns, if you're looking to really grow your portfolio over the long term I'd highly recommend reading this report from The Motley Fool: 10 steps to making a million in the market.
