Got research note from Allenby
Listed on AIM at 54p, we see fair value of 101p, 87% upside

At 54p, RapidCloud has a market capitalisation of £9.4m and is trading on a 2013 PE Ratio of just 9.1x. Whilst we feel it is premature to compare RapidCloud to its larger peers such as AIM listed iomart or Fusionex (both of which trade on 2013 PE Ratios of over 32x) we do feel that the discount deserves to narrow materially.

Wait till the papers pick this hot little number up. We could see £1 very quickly i imagine
