Research Standing

We said "Analyis is more easily practiced on operators nearer home." Despite this Little Englander stance, this company's performance commands attention "

A small move up so far, and hoping for many more small moves up and people take in yesterdays news.

Another take (I think an even more bullish stance is justified) on LEAD;

Fair value for LEAD-

It appears that EPS for 2005 will be around 10.5c(6p-4.2p after 30% tax).Using a conservative p/e of 15 that gives a HISTORIC value of arond 63p.However the P/e ratio to be applied to get a fair price should be prospective and again 15 seems a conservative figure to use(bulls could argue for a lot higher).It seems highly likely that T/O will increase to $140M in 2006,this gives a prospective EPS for 2006 of around 5.88p (i have ingnored the fact that the profit margin is rising)giving fair value around 88p as we move to 2005 earnings becoming historic.
I will be interested to see what CS say and in view of the visibility of earnings i don`t feel my assumptions are too optimistic but would like to hear any other views particularly those of a more bearish nature.

LEADCOM INTEGRATED SOLUTIONS LTD

Directors' dealing

Leadcom Integrated Solutions Ltd ('the Company') announces that on 13 December
2005 Jacqueline Donnelly, non-executive director, purchased 39,000 ordinary
shares in the Company at 52.75p per share. This takes Mrs. Donnelly's
beneficial holding to 39,000 ordinary shares representing 0.04% of the
Company's issued share capital.

End

A director buy and the MM's drop the price, I really do not think it will stay this crazy cheap for much longer, I hope it does so I can get more cheaper next week, but its really cheap as chips at the moment I think.

The only question for me is will they move it up later this month, or the move up will wait for January ? I expect the move up will coincide with the new CS updated report, so keeping an eye out for that to be released.

CS Note in brief...

Highlights
LEAD is a telecom services business that specialises in the provision, management and implementation of telecommunications solutions typically for operators on behalf of the hardware manufacturers such as Nokia and Ericsson. The business floated in April 2005 at 32p per share, and there has subsequently been a very impressive trading performance with a strong set of results in the first half of 2005 and an earnings upgrade from Corporate Synergy Plc for both 2005 and 2006 in September 2005 this upgrade raised our normalised PBT expectations for 2005 by 26% to $10.2m, 2006s estimates by 13% to $12.0m and 2007s by 3.4% to $15.4m. The shares have performed too.

On 13 December 2005 LEAD issued a pre-purdah trading statement for the year
ending December 2005 stating that our revised 2005 targets would be achieved. The highlights include the sales coming in marginally ahead of our estimate at between $96m and $97m whilst the normalised PBT margin of 10.5% would deliver our 2005 earnings forecast. Normalised profit will have risen by nearly four fold in 2005.

We consider that the most attractive element of LEAD is the strong pipeline there are presently real signed orders (back-log and frame agreements) for $60m with a further pipeline of potential business amounting to $235m the traditional conversion rate has been 35% - implying scope for an additional $80m plus of sales; together these would generate sales of over $140m in 2006! See the analysis of the pipeline on the following page. We cannot convey strongly enough the fact that the IPO monies really have enabled this business to do more, and better quality business. This bodes well for future profit growth.

The net result is a second material earnings upgrade in 3 months. We lift the
2006 sales target from $108m to $120m (up 11%) and the normalised PBT from
$12.0m to $12.75m (up 6%) this infers a normalised PBT margin of 10.6%. Of these sales we would expect $55m (46% of the years forecast) in the f irst half with $5.75m of normalised PBT in the equivalent period (45% of the years forecast).

We upgrade 2007 estimates too. We raise our sales target from $125m to $150m
(up 20%) and the normalised PBT from $15.4m to $16.5m (up 7.1%) a margin rise
from 10.6% to 11.0%. We leave the dividend forecasts unchanged.

Our formal 2006 forecasts assume a full tax charge. When we allow for the 15% tax charge the reported EPS forecast for 2006 puts the rating at 8.4x. The EV to EBITDA multiple for 2006 is presently 6.1x. A growing reputation for earnings upgrades, M&A activity in the niche and scope for independent coverage in 2006 make this a share to watch. We expect continued over-performance for the LEAD shares relating to the driven management team, the low PER, high ROCE, respectable yield, strong balance sheet and strong momentum. The future bodes well for LEAD.

*Corporate Synergy Plc acts as Nominated Adviser

Good to see we are moving the right way today, with a weekend for people to mull over the new CS updated report, we should be back into a gentle uptrend for this month and then a big move up in January I hope.

Nice to see LEAD getting some press coverage now;


The Times

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/newspaper/0,,175-1937115,00.html

"Israels Leadcom Integrated Solutions increased p to 49p as Corporate Synergy, its house broker, raised earnings forecasts for the second time in three months."


The Guardian

http://business.guardian.co.uk/story/0,16781,1669359,00.html

"Down on Aim, Leadcom Integrated Solutions added 0.75p to 49.5p as house broker Corporate Synergy put out its second material earnings upgrade in just three months, hiking pre-tax profit expectations for this year by 26% and next year's by 13%. Leadcom builds and manages telecoms networks on behalf of hardware manufacturers like Nokia and Ericsson. It specialises in developing markets with a significant backlog of orders in South America and Africa where the mobile phone markets are booming."

An interesting press release from Nokia. This ties in with LEAD expanding in India from the recent trading update and the future pipeline of work.

If you look at just some of the Wireless Infrastructure contracts Nokia has been awarded for India in recent months you can see there will be plenty going on, an of course, this is just Nokia and just India.


Nokia Aug 23, 2005 Bharti India GSM/EDGE $125 million Nokia will provide managed services and expand Bharti's Airtel networks in the circles of Mumbai, Maharashtra (including Goa), Gujarat, Bihar (including Jharkhand) and Orissa over a three-year period

Looking For AIM's Big Winners
By Ed Bowsher December 21, 2005

If you're searching for big winners, London's Alternative Investment Market (AIM) is often a good place to look


"And there's more! Champion Shares editor, Maynard Paton, published research last week on five exciting companies which all listed on AIM during 2005.

Of the five, I particularly like Endace (LSE: EDA) and Leadcom Integrated Solutions (LSE: LEAD).

Leadcom is also making money. It helps companies such as Nokia and Ericsson to build and maintain telecom systems in the developing world. A recent trading update suggested that Leadcom could generate earnings of 4p a share this year, which would put the company on a price/earnings ratio of just 12.5 at today's 50p share price."

16th Dec 2005 CS report on Leadcom is now available to read in PDF format at the below link :

http://www.leadcom-is.com/admin/literatureSubCat/Filesdownload/Leadcom-Note%206.pdf

Moving up, good news, will the four weeks of January see this move strongly up ?

The conclusion in the CS report in the link in the post above sums things up well;

"Our formal 2006 forecasts assume a full tax charge. When we allow for the 15% tax charge the reported EPS forecast for 2006 puts the rating at 8.4x. The EV to EBITDA multiple for 2006 is presently 6.1x. A growing reputation for earnings upgrades, M&A activity in the niche and scope for independent coverage in 2006 make this a share to watch. We expect continued over-performance for the LEAD shares relating to the driven management team, the low PER, high ROCE, respectable yield, strong balance sheet and strong momentum. The future bodes well for LEAD."

like the look of this one so have joined in with a few--sold ADA far to soon so I will wait on this one -cheers Papal happy new year.

Welcome in moneyplus, I cannot think of many better potential companies on AIM in terms of growth, proven and expected, so it should be a very good 2006 now for LEAD holders.

Its looking much better now and very blue on the horizon, with year end just one more trading day away, I cannot see any more large sells now, so it should be onwards and upwards and a very happy new year.

Hi Papal, you seem to be quite a feature on this site at the moment. LEAD appears good to me though, proven track record of profit and growth, currently on a low PE with plenty more potential growth in the future. Difficult to argue with this one!

Have been watching this for a little while and see today it's a tip in my (small) stockbrokers list.
