Probably a few exceptions and divi isn't a mandatory, but you would stand a lot better chance of not losing a packet IMO and actually making money. I'm not saying you personally just people in general.

So in theory then you should short every AIM sock that doesnt pay a dividend and is not in profit and that has a hype story?
Posted at 19/6/2012 10:23 by stegrego
It's not that way, it's that 90 percent have NO chance of coming good, whereas the other 10 percent stand a decent chance.
Stick to companies that make a profit and pay a divi, if possible. Don't take in hype and fall for fanciful stories.

My thoughts too. Looking at the trades on ADVFN sellers have been hammering it all day. From what I know about the IT industry I think TEL will continue to do well and are in exactly the right place for the next ten years IMHO.

There appear to be six other UK listed telecom shares starting with Tel ... though only one has that exclusive TEL ticker (I wonder if some of the others are a tad envious? ... especially ex Marconi Telent since its name change this January).

Just for fun, I will briefly compare their price charts for the last two years (where available) with TEL's:-

Telephone Maintenance Group PLC (TEL, LSE).


Telecom plus PLC (TEP, LSE). Telent PLC (TLNT, LSE).


Telephonetics PLC (TPH, LSE). Teleunit SpA (TLU, LSE).


Telit Communications PLC (TCM, LSE). Telspec PLC (TSP, LSE).


Closing mid price 28.9.06, and approximate* % change over two years or since listing if later:-
TEL 75.0p -62.5%
TEP 142.5P -49.6%
TLNT 504.0p -14.9%
TPH 20.5p -59.0%
TLU 4.75P -80.6%
TCM 32.5P -78.2
TSP 6.125P -51.4%
[Average: -56.6%]

Using TEL's IPO price (175p) instead of its first day close of 200p, and the figures are:-
TEL 75.0p -57.14%
[Average: -55.8%]

*Except for TEL, the old prices used are BigCharts opening prices for 29.9.04, which are the closest (re. date) to those 28.9.04 closing prices I can find. TEL's old price is what I believe its actual closing mid price on 28.9.04.

[N.B. All TEL's share prices have been adjusted as necessary for TEL's 50 into 1 share price consolidation last month.]

Nokia is the world leader in mobile communications. Backed by its experience, innovation, user-friendliness and secure solutions, the company has become the leading supplier of mobile phones and a leading supplier of mobile, fixed and IP networks. By adding mobility to the Internet Nokia creates new opportunities for companies and further enriches the daily lives of people. Nokia is a broadly held company with listings on six major exchanges.



Alcatel and Nokia collaborate to extend business telephony


Intellisync Call Connect from Nokia integrates Nokia Eseries with Alcatel OmniPCX

Paris, France and Espoo, Finland - Alcatel (PARIS: CGEP.PA and NYSE:ALA) and Nokia (NYSE:NOK) have announced a collaboration which extends Alcatel's business telephony offering to the mobile workforce by way of the Nokia Eseries, a range of business class devices. The Intellisync Call Connect for Alcatel, is a Nokia offering designed to integrate Nokia Eseries devices into the Alcatel IP Communication server. The collaboration reaffirms both companies' commitment to mobilizing business communications.

Intellisync Call Connect for Alcatel capitalizes on the capabilities of the Alcatel OmniPCX Enterprise as well as the power of Nokia Eseries. With the solution, popular desk phone functionalities are available to the mobile user. For example, employees manage just one business number, and control where and when and on which device they receive their calls. Additionally, the benefits of the office phone, such as call conferencing, call back, and dial by name are delivered with the ease of use of Nokia Eseries, within the enterprise environment.

While employees enjoy the freedom to work from any location, enterprises can enjoy the increased accessibility of employees and profit from substantial cost savings. The IP telephony infrastructure enables companies to take advantage of Alcatel's Least Cost Routing capabilities, significantly reducing international mobile calling charges and providing greater control of overall communication costs.

The solution brings added transparency to the company's telephony cost structure by making the billing records easily available, and can help companies identify costly elements in their telephony system. The information provided by the solution can assist a company to plan and build the most efficient telephony system for its business.

"Together with Alcatel, Nokia has a great opportunity to expand the adoption of converged mobility solutions," said Scott Cooper, Vice President, Mobility Solutions, Nokia. "While enterprise voice solutions from Nokia are designed to work with leading enterprise communications solutions, the introduction of the new solution that integrates Nokia Eseries with the Alcatel OmniPCX is a significant milestone for us. Alcatel and Nokia are at the forefront in bringing solutions to the mobile marketplace that help overcome the barrier between fixed and mobile communications, thus making business communications more efficient both in and out the office."

"Alcatel and Nokia are teaming up to give both the business and the employee greater flexibility in their daily communications," said Jean-Christophe Giroux, President, Alcatel enterprise solutions division. "With a business enabled mobile phone, employees have the freedom to work where it is most productive, while enterprises receive the benefits of predictable and controllable communications costs and enhanced customer service, as callers make immediate contact with the right person. Together, Alcatel and Nokia are delivering on our commitment to mobility and the enterprise."

The new Intellisync Call Connect for Alcatel offering is part of the Intellisync Mobile Suite from Nokia. The Nokia business portfolio also features the high-performance Nokia Eseries devices which combine attractive and easy-to-use designs that appeal to individual business users with underlying technologies that allow IT departments to effectively manage security settings, corporate applications and data, and software that enable mobile applications such as email, enterprise voice and device management.

Alcatel's OmniPCX Enterprise is an integrated, interactive communications solution that delivers Alcatel's Cellular Extension software to enable Intellisync Call Connect. Currently, Intellisync Call Connect for Alcatel utilizes the cellular network to connect to a company's PBX infrastructure, and will be enhanced to support both cellular and WiFi networks with dual mode phones in the near future.

The solution will be available during the fourth quarter of 2006 through Alcatel and Nokia resellers, a few of whom commented on the opportunity:
"Trials of the Intellisync Call Connect for Alcatel solution within NextiraOne are going extremely well," said Neil Moss, Marketing and Strategy Director for NextiraOne. "Employees have given us very positive feedback on the system's ease of use, rich features and tight integration of the Nokia and Alcatel technology. Increased enterprise mobility is a key factor in helping our customers change the way they do business and Intellisync Call Connect represents another major step towards truly unified communications, which lies at the heart of NextiraOne's go-to-market strategy."

"Our enterprise customers are going through a shift as they are evolving their business voice communications systems from separate fixed and mobile infrastructures into one converged system," said Anders Nordin, Director Product Management at TDC Dotcom, Sweden. "Our role, as a systems integrator dedicated to serving the enterprise customer, is to help our customer plan their investment by mapping out their current and desired status, resources and other factors. The new solution for Nokia Eseries will be a key element in merging the two systems."

"There is a growing need to enhance mobility among enterprise users. Our customers expect to access business voice applications with their mobile devices with the same level of functionality, reliability and security as they are used with fixed and IP telephony services. With the introduction of Intellisync Call Connect for Alcatel from Nokia we can respond to our customers' needs precisely and strengthen further our fixed and wireless IP telephony strategy," says Jorma Mellin, Product Director of TDC Song, Finland.

The telecoms sector suffers from quite intense competition, and falling call prices.

The most successful telecom cos. may therefore be those with the following traits:
• Defensiveness.
• Low cost base.
• New products to sell/resell.

TEL looks doubly defensive:
• Telephone maintenance contracts required by law.
• Business model has less effective competition than telecom mainstream.

The telephone maintenance market is not a key one for very large telecom cos., but few small telecom cos. have the nationwide coverage and range of product maintenance capabilities that TEL has. And the cost of investment into infrastructure and skills made by TEL provides some barrier to entry.

Of TEL's income streams, " ... only in the smallest area of business, Least Cost Routing, is there likely to be any serious margin pressure" (28/9/04 Hardman Research note on TEL). In addition, as TEL is a 'reseller', falling call prices should be less negative for it than for 'carriers'. [ ] This is also the only area which looks potentially 'at risk' from internet telephony.

TEL's margins have actually been improving, which is clearly very encouraging:
01/12/2005 07:01 UKREG Final Results
"Whilst margins have also been improved by the introduction of acquired companies they also show the company's improved bargaining position from its new financial stability and public status and higher profile in the marketplace."


Improving margins are of course a sign of a strong competitive position; whereas declining margins are often a sign of increasing competition having a negative impact.

TEL is set up on a low-cost base, operating from two main premises: the overall HQ in the West Midlands, and the premises of acquisition Westcom Technical Services in Herefordshire. And it has substantial scope for cost-cutting on acquisitions.

"System Sales account for 43% of revenue, and has almost doubled over the past two years. System sales are in general made to maintenance customers who need to update or unify their systems, rather than the other way round.
... Technological advances, such as automated switchboards where the payback in labour savings is less than twelve months, more sophisticated voicemail, and automated call transfers are driving the demand for new equipment.
... Because TMG is not bidding for new business but merely servicing its existing customers, its cost of acquisition for new business is low. It also finds less pressure to quote crazy margins."
(28/9/04 Hardman Research note on TEL. N.B. 43% figure is presumably for 2003.)

TEL's annual report for the year ended 31st. July 2005 highlighted that the company is already benefitting from the burgeoning VoIP market:
"Analysis of Principal Revenue Streams
Maintenance 35%
New systems inc VoIP 38%
Additional equipement and services 17%
Call billing 10%"

The company has shown an excellent record of customer retention, and selling of additional products and services to those customers.

" ... It would be interesting to see some information regarding sales mix as I expect the hardware side to be fairly competitive margin wise, with the profits in the maintenance contracts. ... "

BF2,

I'm not sure that's the case actually.

From the 28th. September 2004 research note by Hardman & Co. (the most recent TEL research note I have been able to obtain):-

"System Sales account for 43% of revenue, and has almost doubled over the past two years. System sales are in general made to maintenance customers who need to update or unify their systems, rather than the other way round.
Technological advances, such as automated switchboards where the payback in labour savings is less than twelve months, more sophisticated voicemail, and automated call transfers are driving the demand for new equipment.
Because TMG is not bidding for new business but merely servicing its existing customers, its cost of acquisition for new business is low. It also finds less pressure to quote crazy margins. Most telecoms equipment manufactureres allow their resellers a margin in the region of 40%. With volume rebates and other incentives, and the mark up on installation and staff training, TMG is able to improve on that."

In this respect, TEL's recent "TMG plc Shareholder News" contained quite a bit of encouraging detail on TEL's recently announced contract extension/wins.

All these new customers, and more, are apparently embarking upon CAPEX (capital expenditure) programmes to upgrade their telephony systems:-

"Travis Perkins
www.travisperkins.co.uk
2005 turnover £2,640.8 million
TMG Telecom deliver a seamless national telecoms service for all 1000 sites, the success of this three year partnership has been rewarded with a new three year contract agreed till May 2009.
Travis Perkins is a leading company in the Builders' Merchant and Home Improvement markets. Our service to Travis Perkins includes account management and fulfilment of all Travis Perkins telephony services including maintenance, engineering support and customer service to all sites across the UK. TMG telecom manages and 100% fulfils, a CAPEX rollout programme of telephone systems which will enable Travis Perkins to benefit from the operational efficiencies of VoIP technology, as well as providing voice and data consultancy advice. ...

HMV
www.hmvgroup.com
2005 turnover £1,885.6 million
TMG Telecom has secured a new maintenance contract to support all 229 high street retail outlets across the UK.
HMV is one of the most well-known and respected music and video retail brands around the globe and as part of HMV group, Waterstone has recently been acquired.
TMG Telecom delivers national maintenance coverage and are providing resources to implement their CAPEX rollout upgrades to IP based telephony and data infrastructure.

Lookers Plc
www.lookers.co.uk
2005 turnover £1,231.6 million
TMG Telecom successfully won the maintenance contract to support the telephone infrastructure for 75 national car dealership sites.
Lookers plc is a multi-franchise main dealer group with sites across the UK. Impressed with TMG Telecom VoIP experience, manufacturer range of engineering support and UK coverage secured TMG the maintenance contract in February 2006. Lookers have asked TMG Telecom to work with their management team to formalise an investment programme to increase the efficiency of their telephone infrastructure.

Osborne
www.osborne.co.uk
2005 turnover £224.5 million
This contract became operational in May 2006, TMG Telecom has delivered efficiencies and network savings through implementing a complete managed service tailored to 49 sites.
Osborne's is a UK construction business focused on building and maintaining railways, roads, homes, hospitals, schools and offices. Core to Osbornes and TMG Telecom working effectively together is the agreed "Telecommunication and Managed Service Agreement" which is given to each of Osbornes` sites. This document simply and clearly provides information on how to access all telecoms resources, service processes and service level agreements. Benefits to Osbornes` continue to be: cost savings of fixed line services accessible online, administration efficiencies of a "one stop service" and a managed programme of VoIP technology.

Allpay.net

Westcom Technical Services (a recent acquisition) has secured a large installation project to provide infrastructure capability to Category 6 standard. This is one of many infrastructure upgrade programmes secured by Westcom to enable fast data and voice network performance.
Allpay.net is the UK's most complete Payment Solution Specialist, with over 40,000 UK outlets offering modern payment solutions to any industry requiring any kind of revenue collection."



This suggests that TEL's selling of systems to its maintenance customers is very successful, fuelled by the current move to VoIP (voice over internet protocol) technology. This should not only be great for TEL's turnover, but also its profit, as margins here are so good.

This underpins my optimism for TEL's results in 2006 and 2007.

A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF TEL'S LAST TWO YEARS, ESPECIALLY FOR NEWBIE TEL INVESTORS:-

[N.B. All share prices have been adjusted as necessary for TEL's 50 into 1 share price consolidation last month.]

I've tipped this share earlier at higher prices, initially after it floated in September 2004 at 175p. As it turned out I was too early, as the share price performance has been a disappointment (although the fundamental progress of the company has been very encouraging).

The share price / company performance has I believe probably been depressed by 3 main factors, 2 of which were just bad luck:-

1. Overhang from Enterprise North (formerly Mosaique). MQE apparently became a large holder of TEL in TEL's 9/04 IPO, but shortly afterwards MQE ran into serious problems and became a distress seller.
However, ENTH's interim results on 22/12/05 revealed that it intended to complete the disposal of its remaining investments by 31/3/06:

Most recently, ENTH's trading statement on 4/8/06 stated that:
"The Company has now realised substantially all of the investments it previously held and therefore no longer has any trading activities."


2. Ian Leask, TEL co-founder and Head of Sales, died suddenly in 3/05. This apparently had some short-term impact on the company's performance.
However, the CEO's report in December stated that:
" ... Ian's example and contribution will not be lost as the sales and marketing team, built up over the last two years, continues to perform at the highest levels in the future."

3. Higher cost of technical personnel and infrastructure now needed to provide the more sophisticated solutions to the larger corporate accounts. Initial costs were borne by TEL, and now the benefits of the contracts concerned are starting to show through in TEL's improved financial performance.

Now that these issues have been effectively 'weathered', I believe that the TEL share price will perform well.

TEL made three acquisitions during the calendar year 2005, the second one of which resulted in Ed Smyth becoming a director and major shareholder of TEL at a deemed price of 150p/share. As part of the agreement, ES will not dispose of any shares in TEL if the shares are below a price of 350p/share (except with the consent of the Board which may only be given in exceptional circumstances). This compares to a current TEL share price of 71.5p/share.

ES has a formidable track record. Until 1997, he was a director of Amec Building Limited, part of the Amec Group. He left Amec Building Limited to start his own business in the consultancy management sector, Alba Management Consultants Limited, in 1997. In 2000 Alba Management Consultants Limited and Stiell Limited, with investment and other support from 3i, came together to form an enlarged group called Stiell Group whose clients included BT, Royal Sun Alliance, Abbey National and Canary Wharf. In 2002, the merged business of Alba Management Consultants Limited and Stiell Limited, of which ES was the largest shareholder, was successfully sold to Alfred McAlpine plc for circa £85 million.

TEL has preferred partner status for telephony and data transmission services for the clients of ES's new company, the clients of which company include MacDonalds, McAlpines and Compass Group.
Regarding this, TEL's CEO's report last December stated that:
"... I am confident that through this association and alliance the Company will not only benefit from new blue-chip clients becoming customers of TMG, but also the ability, as the board has declared its intention, to widen our support services offering. ... "

TEL's annual report for the year ended 31st. July 2005 also highlighted that the company is already benefitting from the burgeoning VoIP market:-

"Analysis of Principal Revenue Streams
Maintenance 35%
New systems inc VoIP 38%
Additional equipement and services 17%
Call billing 10%"

"The CEO's report
Jeff Williams ...
We are competing at the highest level in the converged voice and data market and our expertise will ensure that new and existing cusomers are confident of TMG's ability to take them along their technology road map. ... "

TEL has 'top performing reseller' and 'best technical support' awards from SpliceCom, as an accredited seller and maintainer of one of the first truly VoIP telephony products manufactured by SpliceCom.

Since floating TEL has announced the winning of several major contracts, and a major contract extension (Travis Perkins):-

05/11/2004 09:21 UKREG Award of contract


19/01/2005 11:21 UKREG Award of contract


14/02/2005 09:00 UKREG Award of contract


07/06/2006 12:47 UKREG Re Contract
