Softcat Share Discussion Threads

Am I missing something? Down 4.5% after a fairly positive trading update not even a week ago. I know the overall market is down, but this is one of the biggest fallers of the FTSE 250 and I'm struggling to see why.

The following is very positive:

'The Company has grown both customer numbers and gross profit per customer during the Period...'

All IMHO.

GLA.

Perfectly reasonable update:

"Customer demand has remained strong across all segments during the Period and the Company has again delivered year-on-year growth in revenue, gross profit and operating profit.

Softcat continues to invest in building scale and developing its offering and the Irish office, opened during the Period, has started well."

Various areas of xpertise amongst them....

'Public sector IT services

'IT in the public sector is a priority investment area that we have seen huge growth in over the last five years. This has been fuelled by our passion for IT service excellence and exceptional solution knowledge that has earned us an enviable reputation for the provision of public sector solutions.

Softcat’s commitment to the public sector has been demonstrated through a substantial investment of time and resource to secure places on several of the most high-profile national procurement frameworks. We provide a complete range of IT solutions under these frameworks, offering a variety of hardware, software and specialist Information Assurance services for our MOD clients, along with a portfolio of more typical services for all areas of the public sector.

The latter half of 2014 proved to be a pivotal time for Softcat's growth, following significant changes to the public sector procurement landscape. Outgoing procurement frameworks included CITHS, ITHS, SPRINT II and the MOD's Information Assurance framework, which were initially replaced by the brand new Technology Products (RM1054) framework. After successfully securing a broad footing on the inaugural Technology Products framework, Softcat's public sector prowess was further reinforced after winning places on five out of the six lots available under the replacement Technology Products 2 (RM3733) framework in the closing months of 2016.

With this announcement Softcat is now delighted to be able to comprehensively service the IT requirement of the UK's Defence and Blue Light services. Also accredited with many of the UK's professional buying organisations (PBOs) we now deliver solutions right across the public sector including:

Public sector: Central/Local Government & Defence
Public sector: Education
Public sector: Healthcare'

Glad to see the mms haven't frightened everybody out this morning!
Looks like it's picking up a bit.

I would imagine the div will pull a few more punters in.
The Nasdaq looked a lot better yesterday close, too, from memory .

[hazl] 31/10/2018 09:12

Thanks shareholder 7 interesting angle, not my best timing on buying a share but I guess it's not a loss until you actually sell.

Oh well at least we have a div to look forward to before any wider market recovery perhaps?One can only hope.

[jurgenklopp] 29/10/2018 14:42

Ex-div date for both final (8.8p) and special (15.1p) is 1 November.
So you can buy today, tomorrow and Wednesday to collect.

[hazl] 29/10/2018 13:58

Will a person buying today get the special dividend?
Looks like it.
