Comment on System C acquisition

[gerdmuller] 03/3/2011 09:05

Market seems to think its a done deal as you can get 69p to sell now.

They have 33% IUs so that is a reasonable amount. Pity to see so many small cos going off the market as this one did have potential. But as I said private investors no longer invest in small cos in any number so many can be taken out fairly cheaply.

[waterloo01] 03/3/2011 07:53

That was quick. 70p a share.

I wondered who was doing all the buying over the last months (often saw % bought on a day but no RNS). Seems they kept under the 3% holding radar.

[gerdmuller] 02/3/2011 10:05

The share price moves and then there is an announcement! That happens so often in these 'open' markets.

The fact that the price is now stable says to me that the bid price is probably around this level between 55 and 65p.

I have had Vega, Dmatek, and TFC taken over in the past few years and last year KWL had an offer withdrawn. Lack of investor interest is lkeading to many small companies being taken out quite cheaply.

GCI comment on bid approach

I knew I should have bought more last week. Takeover?????????????

You have not been able to trade with these online all afternoon with IG so perhaps the rise has led to a shortage of stock.

Results were nothing special but the outlook did seem positive and I have noticed incidents of IT related companies rising sharply on good news. KFX an example today.

I'm starting to get used to these daily tick ups!Very nice.

The company has been shifting from a services-dominated business to more of its own software. The pipeline looks healthy for System C's flagship product, Medway, and it is in negotiations with 33 trusts. The main problem is the revenues could take a while to flow through to the company and there remains huge uncertainty over the sector following the Government's spending cuts.

Yet, the company has cash on the balance sheet and its enterprise value is 5.2 times earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation, according to Daniel Stewart. There should be some upside. Buy

They were (released in an RNS).

[gerdmuller] 26/1/2011 10:03

Thanks, but why have they not been released in an RNS? Very strange.

[gerdmuller] 26/1/2011 09:21

Anyone know where the results are? I was sure they were today.

[waterloo01] 12/1/2011 12:58

Indeed. Really should be trading in the 50's. Decent results and some order wins should help. Suspect order wins are leaking (RNS soon?) Also still don;t understand how we get huge trades ever other week (ie % at a time) and yet no holding RNS. Baffled.

[gerdmuller] 12/1/2011 10:38

Is this one allowed to rise?

Could be due to results coming up shortly but it is a strange sight.

[waterloo01] 05/1/2011 12:58

What's with all the trades? All at mid point. More than 2m traded between 12.00 and 1.00

[waterloo01] 01/12/2010 10:14

Excellent update, meeting expectations and very strong pipeline.

"The company has a growing sales pipeline numbering some thirty Trusts, and is currently bidding on five formal PAS/EPR procurements, five maternity projects, and various other clinical and departmental solutions"

Contract win with the MoD in Afghanistan:

System C wins MoD contract for healthcare software to support troops in Afghanistan.

System C has been selected to supply its Medway family of healthcare software to support UK and NATO troops fighting in Afghanistan.

The company will deploy its Medway Electronic Patient Record, clinical and patient management applications at the Ministry of Defence Medical Treatment Facility at Camp Bastion, Britain's main military base.

Situated in Helmand Province, Camp Bastion's state of the art hospital treats civilians and Afghan nationals, as well as multi-national military personnel working across the country.

Dr Ian Denley, chief executive of System C, said the company was proud to be selected for such an important job. "We are very pleased to have an opportunity to help support British and NATO troops in the role they are playing in Afghanistan", he said.

ANyone know what's happening here? Very big buys, 8.13m shares traded. Must be notifiable?

[gerdmuller] 21/10/2010 09:15

I believe Guy Hands used to own shares in these. Not surprised he had to sell he now reckons he has 70 percent of his wealth tied up in EMI.

[morkandmindy] 07/10/2010 18:38

Yes, some very large buys appearing
Looks promising.
