Interesting look at intrinsic value of Amino Technologies Looking like a solid dividend payer [link]
recent slide In a rising market AMO seems to be sliding south. Are there any theories out there as to why the market seems not to like this share?
2016 Tips "Amino Technologies - 109pIPTV set top box technology developer Amino Technologies (AMO) was hit by a profit warning in October. The core Amino business was knocked by contract delays and customer consolidation. Recent acquisitions Entone and Booxmedia are trading strongly and have widened the product range and customer base. The Entone boss has taken over as head of sales for the whole group and dedicated regional sales teams set up.Major shareholders have been taking advantage of the slump in the share price to add to their stakes following the profit warning. Kestrel Partners has increased its stake to 15.1%, Schroders raised its stake to 12.2%, Investec (INVP) has increased its shareholding to 5.38%, while Downing has taken its stake above 3%. Miton (MGR) trimmed its stake.Underlying profit for the year to November 2015 will be flat at £4.3 million and then it is forecast to jump to £8.3 million, with full contributions from Entone and Booxmedia. The shares are trading on 12 times prospective 2015-16 earnings. The business is cash generative and net cash is £2.1 million. Management has reiterated that it can continue to increase its dividend by 10% a year. That means 5.5p a share is expected for the year just ended and then 6.1p a share this year. The shares are yielding 5% on this years expected dividend. The modest rating and high yield mean that Amino is an attractive recovery play."[link]
SP Falls Something odd seems to be happening with AMO. Huge fall followed by a mini bounce and a further fall. Any theories?

Re: Exciting times Well the price didn't dip, so no more purchases by me to date.There is a shareholders meeting on the 10th to vote on the acquisition. Given that many of the major investors are participating in the cash raising I guess it's more or less a done deal. Maybe there will be some short term profit taking by those loading up at £1.30. The long term outlook for the combined entity seems very good to me.
Exciting times The share placement was filled very quickly today and the Directors supported the placement with their own purchases. Share price up on the day by 9.5% which I think is unusual in such circumstances.It's difficult for me to quite understand Amino's market position but expanding sales and margins in H1 would suggest it is strong.I note that Entone come with $12 million cash. The combined entity will have a small debt position but the balance sheet will remain robust, and there are some significant cost savings to be made from integration of the 2 Companies.So I'm keeping my small holding and may add some if the price dips a bit.
NEW ARTICLE: Amino Technologies transformed by latest deal "LSE:AMO:Amino Technologies had a decent first-half and is on track to hit full-year forecasts. But it's a "transformational" acquisition that's stealing the headlines and with good reason. The £80 million company - the brains behind ..."[link]
