Posted at 20/3/2025 11:42 by daveme Doc, I agree I'm not sure why it has dropped so much recently, perhaps a big seller wanting to adjust things before the end of the tax year. However, it gives a cheap entry price for new investors. Unfortunately I don't have any spare cash to take advantage of the opportunity. |
Posted at 06/3/2025 20:04 by adamb1978 Agree, its nothing company specific at all.Mr Market is risk off at the moment stemming from all the nonsense in the US and fears that tariffs will cause a recession. And if investors are in risk-off mode, small caps will always get hit. Lots of my positions are down over the last month or so as a result. Little you can do - as long as they're trading well, as PCIP are, thats the main thing |
Posted at 06/3/2025 16:08 by dr biotech Anyone see the investor meet? Unfortunately I just missed it. Company presentation can be found here (vid will upload later)hxxps://www.investor Cant really understand what has caused the 20% slump over the last few weeks, I've had a few like it - its been a very tough time for several of my holdings |
Posted at 27/10/2024 17:24 by adamb1978 Investor call on Friday is worth listening too. Key comments in my view were:- Can grow TACV at 18%-20% p.a. as baseline "over the coming years" with upside from there based on product portfolio growth etc - Damage on booked ACV in FY24 was Q1. Since then had 4 quarters ahead of budget - Also suggested holding back some investment in product etc in order to consistently grow earnings. In the US this company wouldnt do that however it suggests we should see nice earnings growth over the coming years Am hoping that the headwinds are now behind us - litigation solved, profitable, cash generative, cash in the bank etc - and that this will now be one that can be held without too many worries |
Posted at 19/9/2024 14:56 by powlert Realistically, given the model that the old CFO discussed about growing opex at half the rate of revenue growth and if we can trust James in that 20% revenue growth is sustainable for the next few years - then 4p of EPS in FY26 and 8p in FY27 should be completely attainable. Would should a business like this trade on? 25x earnings? Gets you a 200p share price in a couple years.Of course UK small cap investors won't trust that until it happens. And really, PE should step up and take it private before then if they can do so at remotely close to 100p or something. |
Posted at 28/8/2024 08:24 by simon gordon It looks like someone has been asleep at the wheel of PCIP.Maybe, the new CFO will move auditors as BDO has a poor track record according to this report: FT - 15/8/24 There are still “unacceptable& Among the Big Four, the deficiency rate — which leapt higher after the pandemic — stabilised in 2023, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board said. At BDO, 86 per cent of audits inspected by the PCAOB were found to be deficient, meaning that the firm had failed to collect enough evidence to support at least part of its audit conclusion. At Grant Thornton, a little over half of audits inspected contained flaws. “These inspection results point to some small signs of movement in the right direction,”&nb |
Posted at 15/8/2024 19:37 by adamb1978 Just because the TU might well have said:- continued momentum in the US - probably another 40%+ growth year there - further investments in the US to capture momentum (they were hiring a new head of marketing and head of product marketing there) - maybe more narrative about their zoom partnership - something about their product launches which were planned for H2 this FY - break-even reached (key point for LSE investors) - reasonable cash balance (litigation proceeds, cash raised from capital raising) ...yet they were only trading on something like 2.5x ARR. Reasonable possibility that it could have pushed the price up and investor expectations up for where they'd sell |
Posted at 04/6/2024 17:27 by simon gordon I was half-expecting this to be resolved:The Company is still considering its options with regards to the remaining element of costs. The High Court trial noted that the payment received of £1.1 million was an interim payment only. The Company will assess its potential next steps with its advisors and update investors in due course. ------ RNS - 26/4/22 During Q3, the following procedural progress was made: In the U.K., the Court process continued and cost budgets of approximately GBP1.3 million were agreed for both parties with the Court. This agreed budget puts a ceiling on the maximum amount of costs that could be awarded against the losing side, subject to the judge's discretion, should the case go to Court. ------ The Company can now confirm that it has received a cash payment of the interim costs awarded by the High Court on 19 December 2023 of £1.1 million. The Company also updates investors that Sycurio has agreed to pay a further £0.2 million for the costs of the appeal process. PCI Pal expects to receive these additional funds in the next two weeks. |
Posted at 04/6/2024 13:10 by citys2874 Tue 04 Jun 2024 13:40RNS Number : 0855R PCI-PAL PLC 04 June 2024 04 June 2024 PCI-PAL PLC ("PCI Pal", the "Company" or "the Group") Further details following successful Court of Appeal hearing PCI-PAL PLC (AIM: PCIP), the global cloud provider of secure payment solutions for business communications, is pleased to provide an update following the successful outcome of the Court of Appeal hearing regarding its patent litigation with its competitor, Sycurio Limited ("Sycurio"). Victory in Court of Appeal Following the Company's announcement on 22 May 2024 that the Court of Appeal had dismissed Sycurio's appeal, upholding the original ruling of the High Court, which was resoundingly in PCI Pal's favour, the Company advises investors that the judgment has now been handed down and is publicly available at Sycurio patent invalid This order means that the ruling of the High Court invalidating Sycurio's UK patent (No. 2473376) stands and the patent has been revoked. The Company notes that the High Court had also ruled that even in the event that the patent had been valid, none of PCI Pal's deployment methods of its Agent Assist solution would have infringed. Payments to PCI Pal for costs The Company can now confirm that it has received a cash payment of the interim costs awarded by the High Court on 19 December 2023 of £1.1 million. The Company also updates investors that Sycurio has agreed to pay a further £0.2 million for the costs of the appeal process. PCI Pal expects to receive these additional funds in the next two weeks. The Company is still considering its options with regards to the remaining element of costs. The High Court trial noted that the payment received of £1.1 million was an interim payment only. The Company will assess its potential next steps with its advisors and update investors in due course. US litigation The case in the US continues as expected with the trial scheduled for February 2025. The UK outcome has provided further strong validation for PCI Pal's position, both that it does not infringe and also in its counterclaims that Sycurio's patents are invalid. |
Posted at 06/11/2023 17:19 by simon gordon Simon French - 31/10/23Time for Hunt to go with the flow Back in July the Chancellor, Jeremy Hunt, unveiled his plans to reform the UK’s ailing stock markets. In that mid-summer speech at the Mansion House he signalled that final decisions on his Edinburgh Reforms would be made ahead of the Autumn Statement. With that Statement now under a month away what should investors and companies expect to hear? The Treasury is acutely aware that investors in UK stock markets have been swimming against an outgoing tide for years. Institutional asset managers – namely pension funds and insurance companies – have been reducing their allocation to UK shares for at least two decades. At the turn of the century these long-term investors held 40% of all UK shares. Today that is closer to 4%. Whilst this pivot away from shares has been a global trend the UK investment industry has gone further, and faster. Equity investment that has taken place pivoted to global companies – listed outside the UK – as the UK stock market underperformed its peers. This has created something of a doom loop of falling liquidity and company valuations. The upshot is that UK companies looking to finance their growth through public equity are now at a significant and sustained economic disadvantage. Our analysis at Panmure Gordon suggests that the cost of financing a UK-listed company is 23% higher than an equivalent company looking to raise equity overseas. It is why UK companies are looking at international stock market listings or being bought by overseas private equity investors. There is little doubt that the poor productivity, investment, and wage growth of the last two decades is partially linked to this trend. It is easy to dismiss this as a financial sector story. Poor bankers weeping into their newly unrestricted bonus pots. A sickly stock market is not a story that immediately attracts public sympathy, even though financial services make up 8% of the UK economy and contribute 12% of all tax revenues. However, that would be to ignore the central role that UK stock markets play in sharing the proceeds of economic growth, financing innovation, reducing reliance on foreign technology, and shortening supply chains. Whilst the US and China are pursing this agenda with huge subsidies and by running large deficits – a risky stance as interest rates reach a two-decade high – the UK would be unwise to follow suit. Mr Hunt will be looking for options that cost nothing and preserve order in the market for UK government debt – one of his Mansion House “golden rules”. This is where the UK’s pensions industry – the second largest in the world – needs to step up and be encouraged to reverse flows out of UK equity markets. Staggeringly there have been net outflows for seventy-five of the last ninety months – totaling more than £43bn. This has dramatically raised the cost for companies looking to raise investment capital in the UK. So, what should be done? An important thing to acknowledge is that the current Government, and the Labour opposition, are both attuned to the seriousness of the problem. The Edinburgh Reforms appear to have bipartisan support – a rarity in the current political climate. However, to date, jawboning on the need for reform has received an underwhelming response from investment decisionmakers. There are three proposals Hunt should be considering to reintroduce the “natural buyer” of UK shares. This is a natural buyer that has drifted away over the last twenty years leaving the financing of the UK’s corporate base in the hands of international investors. The first area ripe for reform, and certainly the least contentious, is to put a floor under the amount of UK equity ownership held by public sector pension schemes. It was revealed recently that the parliamentary pension scheme invests a pitiful 1.7% of its assets in UK-listed companies. Whilst we should be cautious of government-mandated investment decisions, if there is a positive social and economic spillover from supporting UK companies then schemes that are underwritten by the taxpayer should be encouraging that outcome. This is consistent with the way the Treasury have been encouraged to take a “whole economy” view as part of the government’s Levelling-Up agenda. Second, the government should consider returning the tax advantages of saving in a Stocks and Shares ISA to its original form – which was eligibility for UK-listed shares. The decision to widen this to global shares in 1999 was admirably globalist. But in the current race to develop a domestic supply chain, the UK’s commercial competitors in Europe, Asia and the Americas do not warrant a UK taxpayers’ subsidy on their balance sheets. Third, individual share ownership in the UK has gone out of fashion. So many Britons feel disconnected from wealth creation and having a stake in the UK economy’s success. This is a culture that is inconsistent with a fast-growing economy. The Treasury has at its disposal a range of COVID-era loans that have been converted into equity, as well as twenty-four large assets managed by UK Government Investments. These could be the seed assets for a national wealth fund from which all UK citizens benefit. Such an approach is culturally powerful – it could blend both the popular “Tell Sid” campaign associated with the 1980s privatisations, and also a model used by the Swiss National Bank whose shares pay a regular dividend to Swiss savers and are listed on the Swiss stock market. It is striking that the Labour Party are looking at similar models developed in countries like Singapore. Such a fund can then take strategic stakes in UK companies, as has been successfully done in Canada and Australia. There is little surprise that the sickly state of UK stock markets has gone largely unnoticed. More obvious economic challenges of Brexit, cost of living pressures, regional inequalities and strains in public services have a greater public resonance. However, the one thing that everyone agrees is that economic growth is central to addressing these challenges. There are few things that Mr Hunt can do between now and election day that would boost growth and cost him nothing. Transforming flows into the UK stock market is one. As one large US investor in UK companies told me last week: “get this right and UK shares could easily rally 30 to 40 percent”. Such views reflect the current negative stance on UK shares and from sustained outflows. Mr Hunt has shown himself to be a quietly ambitious reformer over the last year. It’s now time for him to go with the flow. |
