Posted at 14/7/2008 09:49 by philjeans Back from holiday at the weekend to see this wonderful news!That's two in a row for me - EUSP on PLUS for 50p cash and now NCH for £3 cash - AMU failed in T/O talks but still a solid buy at P/E of 2 and cash rich! Also hold quite a wedge in GNE (IN TALKS CURRENTLY AND WILL BE OVER £2.50 CASH WHEN IT'S OVER) together with ANGLE AND MEDICAL HOUSE. Hold all my NCH in my and my wife's ISAs so that's handy too! O/T holding and very keen on BLINX and RENOVO for ultimate T/Os too. DYOR NAI. |
Posted at 11/7/2008 07:12 by rivaldo 300p in cash from Thales - what a result!Ta tuffbet, appreciated. Hope you made good dosh from NCH too. |
Posted at 10/7/2008 14:21 by rivaldo Yippee!!!An interesting RNS, obviously forced on NCH due to the price movement as it was issued without the bidder's permission. I wonder - perhaps now this is out in the market other bidders will show their hands? |
Posted at 09/7/2008 16:08 by rivaldo Come on then NCH, where's this bid then?! I suppose the good news is that if it's taken this long it must be serious.A nice mention here following a breach of security at Google: "Nemertes Impact Analysis: Hopefully No Match Found: Google Experiences Third-Party Data Breach The Impact Analysis is a weekly quick-take on breaking IT news. Nemertes provides expert insight on how recent IT news affects you. Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) experienced a data breach at a third-party services provider. This highlights the need to protect employee and customer data wherever it's stored. The issue is not if your data will be breached, but when. Best practices include encryption, strong key management and diligent audits and policy enforcement. In Nemertes' Security and Information Protection benchmark, 29% of participants do not yet conduct regular internal audits of their security systems. There is still room for improvement. Impacts: Enterprises: Implement regular internal audits and extend security policies (and audits) to include any third-party providers that have access to employee data. Vendors: The opportunity for third-party providers is to adopt security best practices including ISO 27001 and SAS70 to make data protection a market differentiator. Investors: Encryption is the common thread for data privacy. High profile breaches increase the interest in companies, including: nCipher (LON:NCH) and privately held CipherMax, GuardianEdge and SafeNet. Ted Ritter, Research Analyst" |
Posted at 18/4/2008 08:21 by nurdin The market is too big for a small fish like NCH to survive on its on....even acquisition news elsewhere in the sector will put a rocket under NCH imo.I am looking for an offer at well above 250p |
Posted at 14/4/2008 20:54 by rivaldo Hope you're right napoleon. I think I agree that this time NCH's days are probably numbered with a "number" of bidders mentioned and the need for security going NCH's way, it's just a question of price.Another news item FYI - one more reason to acquire NCH since it's at the forefront: "Leveraging Web Expertise for Secure SOA 1/17/2005 | Print Version by Vance McCarthy A coalition of enterprise security vendors are proposing a three-tier blueprint for helping architects and devs secure their building inventory of SOA applications. The group -- comprised of Forum Systems, nCipher and Oblix -- is among the first to collaborate on defining a real-world, deployable and manageable "SOA security blueprint" for securely accessing backend J2EE application servers -- from either inside an enterprise or between partners. The "blueprint," in fact, ties together all the infrastructure components an enterprise would need to secure the entire SOA pipeline: from the perimeter, across multiple firewalls, into the back office and finally into the application. The technologies addressed include: protocol protection, identity management, access control, threat protection, security management and key management cryptography. The "blueprint" also addresses the performance impact that widespread use of encryption and digital signatures can have efficient use of SOA systems. [The work was debuted at Oracle's Open World last month in San Francisco.] [Forum Systems is the provider of XML data and web services security hardware and software. nCipher provides a range of cryptographic security for hardware and software assets. Oblix is a provider of identity and policy management options to web and SOA environments, including multi-platform single-sign on solutions.] "Basically, our blueprint for end-to-end SOA security brings together three (3) different layers of security, which individually contribute a specialized security protection," Wynn White, an Oblix marketing manager told IDN. Those three different layers include...." |
Posted at 14/4/2008 10:03 by napoleon 14th Long just a few NCH @ 179p; 2 way bet - recovery or bid.There's a number of possible bidders, including French CS group who recently sold a large part of their biz. for cash & are already in encription.... |
Posted at 11/4/2008 13:33 by nurdin -NCH currently have an EV of of around £24m-this for a company which reported revenues of £24m with pretax profit of 3.4m for the year just ended, despite the high R&D costs of £5.3m -gross margins were at very impressive 88.5% -most high tech comapnies are valued at 3-4 times revenues,even when they not making that much profit -without the the planned investment in the company declared recently,NCH were pencilled in to make pretax of £4.24m by KBC for the current yar -based on these facts and bearing mind that NCH have considerable IP assets,I reckon a price of 300p,or market cap of £48m, is not entirely unreasonable.That would value the company at just 2x last years revenues or about 11x potential profits for the current year |
Posted at 11/4/2008 09:38 by rivaldo Phil, I sold all of mine at 285p, don't ask me how the brokers did it but I was grateful :o)) Grateful to get back in at much lower prices too.Don't know about 500p phil, a tad optimistic perhaps....looking back, the tender offer valued NCH at £82m. Subtract the £34m cash distributed leaves £48m, so with 16.8m shares currently in issue that would equate to 300p per share residual value. Since then NCH have acquired Neoscale too. Difficult to value. NCH must be highly tempting in the current security climate, so if there are keen buyers out there then certainly 300p or maybe a lot more could be on the cards. If not, then my 230p-250p may be more realistic. |
Posted at 14/3/2008 09:56 by rivaldo There's a simple explanation. Robbie Frequenttrader Burns sold his NCH shares a couple of days ago as they weren't performing as well as he expected, and his followers have sold a few in his wake at silly prices, with the MMs taking full advantage given NCH's well-known volatility and the lack of interest in the current market. Look at the volumes - they're tiny.NCH probably have over £12m or so of cash now, representing around half the current m/cap! A preview of next Tuesday's results here - incidentally, Panmure's 2008 forecast is by far the lowest of all of the four broker forecasts, with the other three all going for 15p-16.7p EPS: "Software company nCipher PLC had a solid end to the year. Revenue for the year to December 2007 is likely to be around 24.4 mln stg (slightly lower than Panmure Gordon's estimate), but stronger than expected margins should bring profitability close to its estimate. The margin strength is positive, demonstrating an ability to maintain stable -- or even improved -- pricing in the core business, says Panmure's Nick James. The analyst has nudged up his forecasts for 2007, and now looks for EBIT of 3.39 mln stg instead of 3.37 mln. At this point, James continues to model significantly lower gross margins -- 77 pct versus 85 pct -- in 2008. Part of this is driven by a growing contribution from lower margin Professional Services revenue, but he is also modelling lower product margins. Meanwhile, his EBIT forecast for 2008 has been trimmed to 3.35 mln from 3.39 mln. Over at KBC Peel Hunt, Simon Strong predicts nCipher will produce year to December 2007 pretax profits of 3.6 mln, producing EPS of 9.8 pence. He points out that the year will only partly reflect the financial impact of the tender offer that occurred in July 207. The analyst believes that newly appointed CEO Geoffrey Finlay will soon outline his plans for bulking up the scale of the company, expanding in the US and raising the proportion of revenues derived from software activities." |
