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 ?

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.

When is the next statement due?

No date confirmed as yet, but would expect an announcement soon. An earlier post cited an April results release.

The market is punishing those stocks which lack transparency at the moment, and IMHO CWV has suffered in a general flight to quality.

As a micro-cap, we are depending on 6 monthly trading and earnings updates, as news in-between may be limited.

Private investor interest pushed this stock up aggressively before January and perhaps a trading update may rekindle interest in the stock.

Tick up this morning.

If results are to be announced in April, then advance notification may come soon.

Given 2 & 3 year earnings forecasts this stock looks very cheap at these levels. If results are strong, and indications look good going forward, the price could move very quickly.

There was a small item in todays Gaurdian


Elsewhere, CSM Webview firmed 0.5p to 11.5p on rumours that the recent ProphetX contract win is already starting to bear fruit, with two European mining companies interested in signing up for the market price display system for energy and commodity traders.

2 days notice?????

Seems a down day on the market as a whole today.

CEO's staements will be as important as figures on Friday. I hope to get a clearer focus of the bigger picture for this company going forward over the next couple of years.

Any thoughts CWV holders?

TSQ.

Thats good, nothing leaking out.

It's in the companys' interest that drift in share value doesn't happen, given its ambitious growth plans.

Drift in share price has been going on for months.IMHO there is a reason for just 1 trading days notice.

Hard to know what to make of the timing, but my guess would be that they have brought the results forward on their broker's advice because they have news which they are worried is about to leak. NB mention in this morning's Guardian.
We'll have to wait and see whether it's good or bad! Either that or they want to make a major announcement.

beaufort1

Good point

Maybe the short notice was due to all the staff being too busy dealing with TDI contract signings?

God, I hope I'm right!

I hope your right too, as I had a good feeling on this one, and topped up again this morning.

well up they go!!
