I bought shares in this company at 4.5p in September 2003. I see they are rising. Can anyone tell me please the growth potential for this company as they have just been awarded several new contracts ?

You could be right bloodhound. These price levels are way below the 15.25pence benchmark the company used for its share issue.

With venture capitalists in at 10pence, one would expect downside to be very limited and upside to be potentially huge.

Market Cap as of 27.02.04 9.4 million

Seems a bit cheap, given unfolding sales growth.

Ill be piling in after EPO results on 31st (hopefully with a nice profit to reinvest!) Hope they stay at this level cos ill be buying large amounts 100k

Stock has been trading in a range 11p to 13p. Could move very quick.

Recent statement from company website:-

CMS WebView opens first USA sales office in Chicago

18 March 2004

A leading provider of systems and software for real-time data distribution and management CMS WebView plc (CMS) is to open its first sales office in Chicago, USA. The new CMS sales office, located in the financial district, will be staffed initially by senior representatives from the London office. CMS will also recruit experienced US staff with local market experience and contacts.

Late last year, CMS raised 2.5 million to fund its international expansion and accelerate the sales and marketing of its leading software product TDI. TDI, which is already in use at the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), is an advanced suite of modular software that collects, processes and distributes real-time financial information. The CBOT and CME use TDI to enable the delivery of real-time exchange data to customers including news and data vendors and financial institutions such as banks and brokers.

Opening a sales office in Chicago the home of the USAs financial futures industry enables CMS to be close to two of its major international exchange customers. It will also act as the base for a focused sales effort that can target other trading and investment organisations for TDI and other products.

Bob Antell, Chief Executive of CMS, said:

"The USA represents a major market for our TDI product and it was essential we had a sales office in Chicago. This will enable us to target efficiently other exchanges and many other financial institutions of sufficient size that would clearly benefit from using our TDI software system.
"We are, however, being very strict on outlays and are keeping a close eye on costs in our move into the USA. This said, our preliminary market intelligence gives us every confidence that there will be a market that is receptive and eager to hear about the benefits of our unique software platform."

CMS to exhibit at London technology trade show on 20 May 2004. "Dealing with Technology"

Topped up my holding this morning ahead of results this month. This stock has been consolidating its position for some time now and price seems to be base building for next move.

A lot of contracts for ProphetX have been secured since last trading statement and European market rights have been achieved.

A sales team has been established in Chicago to further exploit TDI selling opportunities. The future looks very positive.

Coporate Synergy may produce a research note after results, which would begin a wider coverage of this stock.

TSQ.

IMHO this consolidation period of sideways movement has built a platform for the stock to move higher from on further news.

Each announcement of new contracts has been accompanied by a price move of in the region of 1.25pence.

I expect renewed interest in the stock once a date for results has been announced.

TSQ.

thestatusquo - had a look at their website after you posted the info on the Millwall thread(thanks for that), hope this investment proves to be as fruitful as the Millwall one, just bought in at 11.69p, when are they set to announce their results?

Tokyo - results should be in May, but they are bringing them forward to sometime in April - date is not known.

thanks jue - bringing them forward, Is this a good sign that they have nothing to hide & that they will be very positive?

Tokyo,

This stock was tipped in Shares Mag back around October/November. The tip was very bullish, predicting strong growth in sales and profits over the next 3 years.

3 year profit forecasts were for between 5-10million. The current market cap of the company is only 9million. Put simply, even at the low end of forecasts ie. 5million profit in 3 years, a p/e of ONLY 10, would equate to a market cap of 50million; some 5 times where we are now.

The tip was greeted by a frenzy of private investor buying and it rose to around 18pence. Profit taking has allowed the price to drift.

The company bolstered its balance sheet with 2.5million raised in a heavily oversubscribed fundraising, and is using this money to establish a sales team for its market trading software products in Chicago. The fundraising was at 10pence.

As such, and IMO, this provides a base for this company/stock to progress higher.

In results this month, I'm looking for significantly increased turnover, from continuing clients plus revenue from new ProphetX clients of which there are at least 15.

I'm also looking for information on how the fundraising cash is being used to grow markets for the bigger revenue TDI software(500,000 a contract) in USA and Europe.

In Decemeber, Shares Mag updated its target price to 20pence. Further press coverage post results will be very helpful, as would a more detailed research note from company broker, Corporate Synergy plc.

TSQ.

Third retest of 11p.should hold ok but expect a tight range between 11-12.5 until results.Ideal time to top up.Personaly awaiting further funds to top up over the next few days, will then be my large holding. 6 figures with a 5

presumably, results won't be announced in advance.

momentum,

I appear to be in a similar position to you. I have recently transferred profits from speculative punts in Millwall, ASOS & Itrain to CMS Webview.

Given the technology and sales growth, I am a confident long term holder of this stock and have also built a decent position.

More information on the stock would be helpful though, ie. major shareholders & amounts held, directors holdings, brokers research notes & earnings targets etc.

First class bloodhound!

Are you aware if Corporate Synergy plc are likely to release a research note on the company, pre or post results?

Do you have earnings and price targets yourself? I would be very interested in your views.

Many thanks,

The year 2003 result was for last year when CMS posted a loss of 683k.
For the results in April an estimate profit of 300k a lot depends on when
CMS got paid by CBoT, the system went live in December but have no idea when
the payment was made. It could be stated as a post balance sheet event but
that does not matter in the overall picture. What we do know is that Prophetx
is making a profit. The main driver for the share price will be what CMS says, a
couple of TDI contracts would go down well. I would also expect more contracts
for Prophetx with some coming from Europe and perhaps some detail about the
numbers of terminals.

Estimations by JCF Group

The TDI contracts could transform this company going forward, from a financial point of view.

EPS estimates of 3pence for 2005, equating to profits of around 2.4million seems achievable, given the financial contribution that TDI contracts produce.

A p/e of 20, could give us an 05 price target of 60pence.

Given the fact that the recent fundraising is still bedding down, I look forward to the company results to better understand the potential for the TDI product.

Thanks again for info bloodhound.

This is from 27th of November, but the way it has panned out you would think
that the management of CMS have got good foresight.

Trading up

WHEN a product is designed to be used on the major trading exchanges of the world, it does no harm to have as your initial customers the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and the Chicago Board of Trade, the two largest futures and options exchanges in the United States, and also to include the London Metals Exchange.


That is what London-based CMS WebView, the data collection and distribution group, is able to claim in its sales pitch.


And it intends making good use of the references that those exchanges are willing to provide. CMS, which was formed to provide commodity trading data to the London International Financial Futures and Options Exchange (Liffe), was the object of a management buy-out in 1997.


Since then, much time and effort has been spent in developing the product in what has been a tough market.


But chief executive, Bob Antell, believes the doors he has been pushing against for so long are beginning to open on both sides of the Atlantic and he is ready to put his head above the parapet for the first time.


It can be no coincidence that since announcing a first half loss of 116,000 in mid-September, he has appointed Gresham, a leading financial public relations agency, to spread his message. Since that appointment in October, CMS shares have soared from 1.5p to 13p, which should be good enough to pay Greshams fees for a few months.


Mr Antell plans to go on the sales offensive in the new year, opening a Chicago or New York office to back up the London operations. All this will need money, so I would not be surprised if a fund-raising exercise was being planned, though this would entail the founding directors having their share stake diluted to below 50% for the first time.
