approaching 800p

This from the trading update in January:

'As we approach the end of our first half, we are now materially ahead of where we expected to be at this stage of the year.'

Results on 19th March.

700 acheived good , bought at high , muppet i am , new to all this , didn't see the fall coming despite the little clues

[mfhmfh] 24/1/2019 10:00

can share price somehow break this 700p barrier...then onwards to 800p hopefully.

It was an opportunity to buy yesterday The market makers don't know how to play this share. Computer Centre was down yesterday which might have pulled Softcat down as well. CC has big exposure to Europe so I don't think they are in the same market space.Consistent growth quarter on quarter with possible plans to open more offices and a great sales model, it will hit new highs eventuallyThe only think to pull this back is a general collapse of the market which could happen but for now enjoy the ride

Looking good for a short-term run up to 800p easily from here.Healthy pull back yesterday - Should see a run of blue days now.

Yes, large red engulfing candle today and closes below yesterday's breakout level. Any trapped traders may be looking to close so we could see a gap close as it re-traces.

[mfhmfh] 10/1/2019 14:21

surprised at the fall today

huge rise of what is essentially them repeating the fact numbers will be ahead of expectations. No complaints here. Back up where it should be. £10 in next 3 yrs easy (once brexit mess is sorted)

[mfhmfh] 09/1/2019 10:49

a deserved rise and plenty further to go IMHO.

[trickyricky] 09/1/2019 10:17

Nice rise!

[mfhmfh] 09/1/2019 07:24

Back to 800p hopefully

[trickyricky] 09/1/2019 07:11

Excellent trading update this morning. Materially ahead of expectations.

[dl6789] 04/12/2018 16:40

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.

[mfhmfh] 28/11/2018 08:58

The following is very positive:

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

All IMHO.

GLA.

[jurgenklopp] 28/11/2018 07:46

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."

1st quarter trading update on Wednesday.

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'
