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 29/5/2008 14:03 by rivaldo It's been a month and a half since the initial takeover approaches RNS, so I suppose we can assume things are serious. The IMS confirmed talks are still ongoing with a number of bidders. Let's hope somethings happens soon!Looks like the bidders saw this from the end of March: "You Will Be Breached. Make Sure Your Data is Worthless RSA, EMC's (NYSE:EMC) security division has announced a joint development with Brocade (NASDAQ:BRCD) to integrate encryption and key management into Brocade's Data Center Fabric (DCF) storage architecture. This development underscores Nemertes' finding in benchmark, Security and Information Protection, that 35% of participants have experienced a data security breach in the past three years. The next best defense to preventing a breach is to make sure that breached data is encrypted, and thus worthless. Impacts: Enterprises: Implementing strong key management and encryption of all archived data is the difference between an annoying misplacement of backup tapes and the need to notify 50,000 customers of a potential identity breach. Vendors: Storage vendors should look for joint ventures with encryption/key management vendors, and vice versa. Investors: Just as EMC owns RSA, look for additional storage company security acquisitions. Potential candidates include: nCipher (LON:NCH) and privately held CipherMax, GuardianEdge and SafeNet." |
Posted at 12/4/2008 07:58 by rivaldo Well, 250p would be a start....That closing rogue trade really screwed things up - up 50p to 170p more like :o)) "Among smaller companies, data encryption specialist Ncipher gained a 40.20 per cent, or 50.75p to 135p, after confirming earlier speculation about a takeover approach. The company said that it has received a number of preliminary approached, but remained silent on the identity of the suitors. Investor sentiment was helped by vague market chatter, which suggested that the company had received offers of up to 250p per share." |

Posted at 22/9/2006 07:10 by bobbyjim Investors Chronicle BUY Recommendation - 22/09/06Polling company YouGov claims that almost one-third of company directors have made off with confidential data when moving to new jobs. It's an issue that continues to benefit IT security specialist nCipher, which unveiled interim results that were not as badly affected by its failed merger with Safenet as many had feared. Excluding one-off costs relating to that distraction and nCipher's acquisition of user-rights-manageme The company is now under pressure to return cash to shareholders, but chief executive Alex van Someren says he'll retain some cash to reassure customers of the company's viability. Further acquisitions are also likely, as nCipher builds a new consulting business. "There's a lot of money being left on the table on the services side," says Mr van Someren. "We want to capture more of that." Stockbroker Charles Stanley says nCipher is trading on a 52 per cent discount to its peers, and predicts full-year pre-tax profits of £2.8m, with EPS of 8.5p (£3.7m and 10.9p, respectively, in 2005). Ord price: 239p Market value: £68m Touch: 239-242p 12-month High: 306p Low: 193p Dividend yield: nil PE ratio: 36 Net asset value: 167p Net cash: £42m Half-year Turnover Pre-tax Earnings Dividend per to 30 Jun (£m) profit (£m) per share (p) share (p) 2005 7.97 1.55 4.87 nil 2006 10.44 0.72 0.52 nil % change +31 -54 -89 - Last IC view: Buy, 207p, 23 Jun 2006 nCipher's shares have risen since our buy recommendation at 207p (23 June) and look set to head back towards Safenet's bid price of 300p. Buy. |
Posted at 03/4/2006 09:25 by rivaldo A bit more comment than usual here. Despite Safenet's bid lapsing, Safenet's FD is clearly working to get the bid put back onside although they're not sure about the timeframe:"Gregg Lampf, SafeNet's director of investor relations, said the company was considering its options. "We're in the process now of deciding what we're going to do as far as going through the full six months or not," Lampf said. The nCipher deal would be SafeNet's 11th acquisition in the past six years, and is expected to bring SafeNet more exposure in Europe, along with additional customers and relationships. Lampf said the Maryland company would work with British government officials to help them see that there are other competitors in the encryption and decryption market. "There are other companies that we compete with in the space," Lampf said." |
Posted at 01/3/2006 11:53 by davet1p Rang my broker, no knowledge of yesterday announcement, rang house broker, "we don't talk to private investors", rang nch, person was in meeting will call me back. Why no announcement from nch?My take is that safenet know of higher potential bid and have withdrawn to consider higher bid, as the current price is holding. |
Posted at 22/11/2005 14:10 by tuffbet FINESSMy guess is you will have bought fairly close to the bottom - I was doing some re-reading of stock price analysis recently and a line which I think applies very much to nCipher jumped out at me .It read ... good stocks may get stuck in a low -trading equilibrium Recognizing this situation ,is I think ,one of the keys to the success of most good value investors. The same stock can appeal to both value investors and momentum investors at different times and I think the former will be sniffing around nCipher right now whereas in due course the momentum boys will be piling in. |
Posted at 11/11/2005 11:12 by tuffbet rivaldothanks for the Homeland post it is long but it's well worth reading if only to confirm much of what existing shareholders believe. Tole CS's note is typical stockbroker stuff ie with regard to investors wanting cash back. Over the years where the city has pushed companies to do such things it's been to their short term advantage and to the detriment of the company and the long term shareholders-anyone old enough to have held GEC and watched in dismay as a city backed "entrepreneur" started to "release value and make the assets sweat " will know what I mean. Personally I trust the management of nCipher and I am happy for them to retain cash if they feel in the medium term that it may be used for the right acquisition. If not then commencing a stream of dividends (rather than a special dividend which just suits the short term investors who are off as soon as they get it)would suit me just fine and as I suggested in earlier posts a dividend stream would be very helpfull in getting more institutional investors on board. |
