Re: 300p by results on 23 November i say... And this explains some more....though the fall-off is very sharp indee.Kainos downgraded by InvestecStockMarketWire | Mon, 23rd November 2015 - 14:45Investec has downgraded its recommendation on IT services, consulting and software solutions provider Kainos Group (LON:KNOS) to hold from buy on the back of the company's maiden first half results, stating that it expects the shares to pause for breath.Despite reporting good sales progress in Digital Services and Healthcare, the broker said it is conscious of the Digital Services gross margin mix and the upcoming Government Spending Review and reckons it is prudent not to upgrade its forecasts now, but wait until the impact of the review is clear.Investec has left its target unchanged at 250 pence a share, which at current levels implies a negative level of forecast total return to the tune of 8.7 per cent.At 2:45pm: (LON:KNOS) Kainos Group Plc Ord 0.5p share price was -46.5p at 233.25p

Re: 300p by results on 23 November i say... This explains some of it.......Kainos pauses after stunning runLee Wild | Mon, 23rd November 2015 - 14:30Share thisKainos pauses after stunning runKainos (KNOS) made millionaires of staff when it floated the tech business in July at 139p. They'd have doubled their money again if they'd held on a little longer, with the shares topping out at almost 300p earlier this month.However, with the chancellor's Spending Review due on Wednesday, and with government decisions having already hit gross margin at the core digital services division during the first-half, investors are trousering profits.Set up in 1986 as a joint venture between ICL (now Fujitsu (FUJ)) and Queen's University of Belfast, Kainos makes its money as a specialist in digital technology, software design, third-party software integration and implementation, and tech support. It's been hugely successful in winning government contracts, and pre-tax profit excluding IPO costs jumped by a fifth in the six months ended 30 September to £6.8 million.Revenue grew by 29% to £37.2 million, and sales bookings (the value of contracts signed excluding taxes) leapt by 55% to £34.8 million. And Kainos, which typically wins 25-30 new contracts every year, added 30 new customers in just the first six months of this year. Admittedly, some of that is due to sales of cheaper services, particularly the Smart automated testing tool, but this is a clear boost nonetheless.Being picked by Apple (AAPL) as a partner is a significant boost, too - the American colossus clearly wants to sell more iPads to businesses, and Kainos is one of a dozen new partners chosen to help target the medical industry. The firm's Evolve software is already used by the NHS to digitise patient records.graph 1(click to enlarge)However, despite an 18% increase in revenue at the digital services unit to £24.4 million, gross margin for the division dropped 9% to 46%. That meant profit fell by £0.3 million to £11.1 million, due to changes in some government contracts, including cuts on a big deal with rural agency Defra. Kainos chief executive Brendan Mooney tells Interactive Investor that most of this has now washed through and margin should improve in the second half.The government's Spending Review midweek is also likely keeping investors on the sidelines. It's expected to make grim reading for government departments, with massive cuts across the board. Still, Kainos is embedded in nine different departments, and cost cuts will mean they'll have to digitise more work."It's good for us," says Mooney, "but it will take time to get there for Kainos". It will be mid-February before we see clear plans from departments about which projects will get priority, he thinks. Clearly, there is great potential here, but Investec Securities also believes Kainos shares will "pause for breath as it consolidates post its exceptional run". It's why the broker cuts its rating from 'buy' to 'hold' and repeats its 250p price target.Even at that level, Kainos would trade on 27 times earnings per share (EPS) estimates for March 2016 of 9.4p. Investec adds: "It is prudent not to upgrade our forecasts now, but wait until the impact of the CSR [comprehensive spending review] is clear."

Re: Brokers Positive I can't understand why this is languishing at such a discount---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------Options dear boy, options. There is currently a lot of 4000p calls for Nov and Dec that would otherwise be in "the money" that is why the price is where it is, the bucket shops love to take punters money but hate to pay their own losing wagers, is just another case of "the house always wins"........January this will be trading higher once the options are out of the money.3D (adding a wee bit every day)

Re: 300p by results on 23 November i says I thought the results were good, taking account of the cost of any IPO these days. However, there seems to be some reason for the huge drop today and I cant find it. Maybe someone else on the BB - very quiet at the moment! - can point to some report or similar? On the basis there has been this fall for no apparent reason, (other than it has risen well since SCSW brought out a special early edition to recommend it and also buy it for their portfolio) I will recommend a strong Hold, though tempted to add at this price.

Re: interim results Maybe it's just me but I sort of don't really expect AIM listed companies to be paying a dividend. They're not quite grown up enough yet. In fact only 1/5 of AIM companies do pay a dividend which is higher than I would have expected.

Google Q.C. News Coming 8 December "Google plans 'watershed' quantum computing announcement in December Anthony Cuthbertson November 16, 2015 12:14 GMTA "watershed announcement" from Google regarding quantum computers is expected to be made on 8 December, according to a board member of the quantum computing firm D-Wave. Steve Jurvetson gave no other details about what Google is planning, though his comments were related to an image projecting the predicted exponential progress of quantum computing over the next few years.... Jurvetson's Flickr image depicts Rose's Law, which mimics Moore's law in charting the growth of computational power of quantum computers over time. According to the graph, extrapolated from data points taken from previous quantum computing milestones, the point at which quantum computers surpass conventional computers should be in the very near future."If we suspend disbelief for a moment, and use D-Wave's early data on processing power scaling, then the very near future should be the watershed moment, where quantum computers surpass conventional computers and never look back. Moore's Law cannot catch up," Jurvetson said in his recent post."A year later, it outperforms all computers on Earth combined. Double qubits again the following year, and it outperforms the universe... Meaning, it could solve certain problems that could not be solved by any non-quantum computer, even if the entire mass and energy of the universe was at its disposal and molded into the best possible computer." ...

Is this really a BUY? I can see no sensible reason for marking this as a BUY.If the EGM vote to deselect the Minera IRL board on the 26th November fails then this stock is imo toast. The main company then have the opportunity to deselect the Peruvian board in the next EGM which is scheduled for Dec 3rd. Details below."MIRL) announces that it has requested through a letter that was delivered throughnotarized certification on October 27, 2015, that a shareholder EGM of its 99.99% owned subsidiary Minera IRL S.A. be convened to adopt the following resolutionsi) removal of the current members of the Minera IRL S.A Board, and appoint new Directors;(ii) Remove the General Manager of Minera IRL S.A;(iii) Appoint a new General Manager;(iv) Repeal powers of attorney."Note the reference to "its 99.99% owned subsidiary Minera IRL S.A."This implies that the main Minera IRL board hold all the voting rights at the second EGM.As the EGM votes are Special Motions they will probably need 75% of votes cast to succeed.This will make the first EGM far from certain, whereas the second looks like a foregone conclusion, if the Minera IRL directors are still in office.So a HOLD or SELL would make more sense imo, but fairly irrevalent as the shares are suspended.

Re: interim results What's not to like? Where's the dividend? I have a deep suspicion of companies who don't pay a return to their investors, particularly when they are apparently doing very well. Yes, you are getting the rises through the share price, but it shows a lack of commitment to the shareholders, and dividends would also bring in new investors.
