It is mind boggling how cheap this stock has got. The whole UK market has rebounded, but PCIP remains in the doldrums.

Market cap £34m, net cash of £4m, deferred tax assets of £6m odd (which certainly will be used in the fullness of time).

Estimated 2026 revenue of £25.5m. That is around 1x EV/sales for a recurring software business with 90% gross margin that generates cash and is inflecting to IFRS profitability.

Truly insane. I don't know where you could find anything else like this, but UK investors won't get it until it starts paying a dividend. Should go to PE for anywhere from 4-6x revenue if management can hold their nerve.

powlert, I've similarly added some more here to take advantage of the artificially low share price due to the overhang. At some point this will turn and shoot back up quickly to 70p'ish.

I've added a little more here. I think there is broadly a little disappointment that PCIP don't ever really beat numbers. Results are always a bit of a non-event. Also general selling across UK small cap and no buyers exacerbates things. Nonetheless, this thing is simply too cheap. Should sell to PE at >4x revenue at some point, while revenue should compound at 15-20% (I know James says 20%+ but I have started to discount this idea).

Some good chatter on the LSE board that some big contracts might come through the Zoom partnership at some point soon.

Meanwhile the CFO's options don't fully vest unless the share price triples. Shows what the board think the company is worth. 6x ARR would be a very reasonable valuation to expect in a takeover.

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

Yes. ECK was bought at 4x sales I think and PCIP is growing much faster than them.

Zoom ups forecast on growth in large accounts

Zoom Video communications reported revenue was up 2.1% (2.4% in constant currency) in its second quarter results out yesterday to $1,162.5m, of which Enterprise revenue was $682.8m, up 3.5% YoY, and Online revenue was $479.7m, flat on Q2 a year ago.

Zoom founder, and CEO Eric Yuan attributed growth to “strength in large accounts, with customers contributing more than $100,000 in trailing 12 months revenue increasing by 7.1% YoY, and resilience in the Online business, with Online average monthly churn reaching its lowest ever rate”. In particular, Zoom Contact Center, the company's ‘omnichannel platform’ which includes its AI Companion as well as customer experience capabilities such as AI Expert Assist, workforce management, quality management, virtual agent, and support, secured several high-profile clients, including its largest single-order deal to date in the second quarter.

The company’s share price has ticked up (up 3% in the extended trading yesterday) with Zoom raising its annual revenue forecast driven by the demand for its collaboration tools deployed in hybrid work models, and also said Kelly Steckelberg the company CFO is to step down. The company now expects fiscal 2025 revenue to be between $4.63bn and $4.64bn, compared with the $4.61bn and $4.62bn forecast previously.

ECK - 22/8/24

Discussions with Private Equity Investor

Eckoh notes the recent share price movement over the last four trading days. Late last year and based on the Board's belief that the share price did not reflect the fundamental value of the business, the Company began to consider alternative options to realise value for shareholders. Subsequently, the Board appointed Stifel and Singer Capital Markets in March 2024 as financial advisers in order to determine the value that could be achieved in the event of a sale process and to initiate discussions on behalf of Eckoh.

Today the Board can confirm that, following a period of discussions and negotiations with multiple parties regarding a potential sale of the Company since May 2024, the Company received on 12th July 2024 a highly conditional, non-binding revised indicative offer from a private equity investor (the "Potential Offeror") of 54p per Eckoh share. Discussions with other parties remain ongoing.

It is important to note that while due diligence is progressing, there can be no certainty at this time whether any offer will be made, nor as to the terms of any such offer.

The Takeover Panel Executive has granted a dispensation from the requirement of Rules 2.4(a) and (b) of the Takeover Code such that Eckoh is not required to identify in this announcement any potential offeror with which the Company is in talks, or from which an approach has been received, unless that potential offeror has been specifically identified in any rumour or speculation.

As a consequence of this announcement, an "Offer Period" has now commenced in respect of Eckoh in accordance with the rules of the Code. The attention of Eckoh shareholders is drawn to the requirements of Rule 8 of the Code, which are summarised below.

This announcement has been made without the consent of the Potential Offeror or any other party that the Company is in talks with.

A further announcement will be made if and when appropriate.

Livingbridge buying Sycurio (Semafone) for 6x could be a reason why the PCIP share price rocketed in 2021 and got away a placing at 95p for £5.5m.

HI Andre

Agreed, and raising capital to capitalise on strong growth is a great thing to see.

One side benefit is that its possible that this could make the patent nonsense go away. We know that Sycurio appear to have done this in order to drive down PCIP share price and then make an offer when the share price was rock bottom...and in doing so acquire a cloud-first solution to replace their old-school legacy rubbish. Well, we all now know that PCIP is profitable, growing fast and now has plenty of cash.

So now that PCIP arent going to be ruined by the legal costs, the question for Sycurio is whether they throw more good money after bad. It wouldnt surprise me if they tried to save face with some sort of negotiated settlement in the US and save themselves another pile of legal costs over the next year. US lawyers are far from cheap!

Yes, a few rationales for their action:

- upside vs downside: maybe they think that incremental costs are say £500k given lots of the work will already have been done, but if they win they'll get off paying PCIP's £1m costs, get their costs refunded (£2m?), damages awarded (few million?)...so even if was a 5%-10% chance of winning, you can probably justify it on a probability weight basis

- impact on PCIP business as usual: maybe trying to trash PCIP and stop them competing as effectively? Drain PCIP's cash resources and further delay their move into Cont EUrope?

- share price: we know that they launched the initial stuff which hammered PCIP's share price...and then Sycurio approached PCIP with an offer. You dont have to be massively cynical to believe that the legal action could have been with the intention of then trying to acquire PCIP. Perhaps they're trying to same trick again? Hard for it to work this time given people will be less believing that PCIP will lose...

I'm not massively concerned about this appeal given that for it to hit PCIP they have to:
1) convince the court that their patents should not be invalidated
2) prove that PCIP infringed.

So its a double hurdle to overcome...and each hurdle a previous judge founded against them. Is each a 10%-20% chance? Perhaps...so to get over both, its a 1%-4% chance.

And even if the 1%-4% chance occurs, PCIP have a workaround.

Really is noise IMO
