HI PP
At first sight you are spot on. Not sure I very much like the options expensing process- they may have to think of alternative ways of remunerating staff like a lot of other companies.They will be able to do this as profits flow through.That aside this is an optimistic report, positive for the future and with a switched on management. is an exciting growth phase for LEAD and worth being in there for the ride.
I see there is a maiden dividend as they promised- if they keep up this momentum and maintain their promise I won't be complaining.

coeliac1 after the "expected" results morning sells we are back level and might finish blue now.

I would expect the price to rise in the coming weeks and months as inti's climb on board and also, with the potential growth it has and with the equivalent of total 2005 revenue in the bag 7 weeks into 2006, this will be one that media tips will soon be looking over to cover.

Rathbones Special Sits also has LEAD in the top ten holdings as of end Jan 06, hopefully they will make it top 3 soon :)

Rathbones are right. This definately is a promising special situation and its good to see an institution thinking along the same positive lines.

I think in the coming weeks and months there will be a lot of smart money moving into LEAD, which will result in a nice uptrend, with spikes up on contract news.

There are two new broker reports to look forward to now, an updated CS one and an initial Altium one.

Altium today issued a buy note for Leadcom, initial target 90p it seems.

Following what it describes as an impressive set of interim results, Altium Securities has put out an add recommendation on Sportingbet. It says the announcement of the maiden dividend was a milestone for the company and the start of much more to come.
While Gondola Holdings has attractions in terms of scale, brand awareness and, arguably, the efficiency of its balance sheet, Altium has put out a reduce recommendation. It recommends selling Games Workshop and starts coverage of Alba with a buy recommendation.
It is a buyer of IBS Open Systems, Entertainment Rights and Leadcom, but downgrades Close Brothers from hold to sell and says add Spring Group

Thanks for spotting that PP. Its good to see we are not the only ones who think this is a decent business with excellent prospects.

L2 is now 4 v 1 very strong, and we could be back to the days earlier high soon.

Very bullish to do this on results day after a large rise into results, but then, the results were in fact, very very good and highly bullish going forward.

90p target, soon will be upgraded when the first new larger contracts come in and are announced.

274K X trade.

Someone/insti snapped up a load of shares this morning, this is what cause the turnaround into blue :)

Hope they and their friends are back for more soon !! :)

Surprisingly quiet considering the excellent results

But LEAD still strong, thats the bullish sign after good results, people not selling, and new people paying full price to join or top up.

Altium has a buy rating on LEAD and so does CS, with upgrades and new contracts to come, it will not be so quiet all this year ;)

Good to see the buy ratings- especially those of us who are long on this stock!

LEAD stilll going strong coeliac1 :)

Yes even in this morning's weak market too.

No real visible volume too, good signs.

I see the order book for this year is 70% of the 2005 actual so there is quite a lot of potential for yet further upgrades on any sort of new order announcements. I also like the look of prospects for increasing orders for service management from existing sources which will give a firm base for the future.

Yes coelic1, a very good chance of a few decent upgrades to come.

Still looking strong, we should be in the high 70's soon.

True PP, but you really should get some sleep at nights my friend!
