Roger Lawson the chairman of ShareSoc is of course a great expert on tech stocks. That was why he was able to dismiss so easily criticism from myself, Ben Edelman and Paul Scott about blinkx (BLNX) and Globo (GBO), two of his big holdings. Now it seems that another "Lawson winner" emerges - NCC Group (NCC) which had an awful statement yesterday as I explained HERE..
Shares in NCC Group (NCC) have slumped by 9.5% to 162.5p in late trade after a shocker of an announcement posted at 4.16 PM today. Not quite no-one is watching O'Clock but still late in the day. If you were on your way to the capital markets investor rampfest day it was holding tomorrow, don't bother. It has been cancelled. Cheers,my cyber security expert friends, did you not know you were going to have to issue a shocking profits alert until just now? How long have you been sitting on this bad news? Thanks. can I get a refund on my train ticket?
Writing last month on NCC Group (NCC) on the back of a confusing profit warning or not announcement which included “difficulties with” and “challenging” previous acquisitions, I noted despite this and a £47.5 million net debt position, the company looked to “continue with our measured acquisition strategy and anticipate acquiring additional boutique cyber security consultancies over the next few months”. There is now an announcement of “Acquisition of US cyber security consultancy”…
Cyber security and risk mitigation group NCC (NCC) has updated on four month to 30th September organic revenue growth of 21% in an announcement that also includes that “rate of growth in profitability will now be more biased towards the second half of the year than initially expected, but remains in line with the board's expectations”. Hmmm...
