AUTONOMY ENTERS INTO MILLION DOLLAR AGREEMENT WITH GLOBAL SECURITY COMPANY

Good contract

from this is money.co.uk refrence coal,AU>,CBRY rumours His advisers, led by US broking giant Goldman Sachs, are said to be currently working on various mouth-watering corporate deals, at least one of which is expected to see the light of the day well before the end of the year.
Hot gossip suggests Mittal's number one takeover priority is Coal Of Africa, 4p better at a year's high of 1191/4p, and a cash offer of 250p a share is in the pipeline.

He already owns 16.3% of the mining group, via his giant steel company Arcelor Mittal, where he is chairman and chief executive.

Speculation has been rife since he bought the stake in April that it would be only be a matter of time before he swallowed the rest of the group's equity. Its loose change for him.

Coal of Africa owns coal mines at Mooiplaats, Vele and Makhado in South Africa. Coal production is increasing and should it reach maximum levels, the shares would be worth treble their current value.

Morgan Stanley recently moved the stock to overweight, saying it had an 'attractive risk reward profile'. Its target price is 150p but that rises to 380p on a bull case scenario.

Disappointing existing US home sales, which fell 2.7% to 5.1m in August, the first monthly drop in five months, brought the Footsie off the boil.

As Wall Street dropped 74 points on the data, London followed suit. The blue-chip index lost a 26 point gain to finish 60.10 points lower at 5,079.27, while the FTSE 250 shed 123.99 points to 9,093.02.

Punters chased software giant Autonomy up to 1650p as rumours of a 28 a share bid from Microsoft did the rounds. Fund managers soon dismissed that idea and said the rise had more to

do with a bullish note from Bank of America/Merrill Lynch. The broker lifted its target price to 19 from 1660p. Late profit-taking left the close at 1610p, but still 47p up on balance.

Awaiting a knock-out 9-a-share bid from Kraft, Cadbury Schweppes rose 51/2p to 798.94p.

The market has punished the share price of data search software king Autonomy despite the company producing third quarter results in line with raised guidance.

The crux is that the figures published were towards the lower end of the guidance parameters, while a slide in gross margin from 92% to 86% was more severe than anticipated, according to Panmure Gordon.

Just a healthy pullback, a chance for some profit taking.
Don't forget also that the closing price was more than 100 points off the days lows,

Good buying oppertunity

AUTONOMY iMANAGE NAMED TECHNOLOGY PROVIDER OF THE YEAR AT THE BRITISH LEGAL
AWARDS 2009


Receives Coveted Accolade in Recognition of its Technology Excellence, Thought
Leadership and Customer Satisfaction


Cambridge, UK and SAN FRANCISCO - December 7, 2009 - Autonomy Corporation plc
(LSE: AU. or AU.L), a global leader in infrastructure software for the
enterprise, today announced that Autonomy iManage, its division dedicated to
providing cutting-edge technology to the legal and professional services sector,
has been named Technology Provider of the Year at the British Legal Awards 2009,
hosted by Legal Week. The prestigious accolade celebrates Autonomy iManage's
significant business success, high levels of customer satisfaction, and thought
leadership. The British Legal Awards are considered a benchmark in the
sector with a judging panel comprising leading general counsel and senior
business figures and commentators.

Broker note from Astaire Securities 05.01.10:
"Based on a detailed analysis of organic growth rates, we believe that Autonomy has probably missed its 2009 revenue target and we are downgrading our forecasts for 2009 and 2010 by around 5%. Autonomy failed to announce any very large deals in its final quarter. We believe that Autonomy needed to sign at least one deal >$20m in order for it to meet Q4 revenue expectations of around $223m. Even with such a deal, our analysis suggests that the growth rates required to achieve this target were probably unachievable.Today we are re-iterating our Sell recommendation and suggesting that now would be a good time to short the stock. With at least a 50% chance of a revenue miss and failing this, the certainty of very poor cash conversion, we see almost no scope for short term upside and a high probability of downside. The one risk we can see to this call would be the announcement of a large acquisition. Although we are anticipating a deal at some point in Q1 2010, we think it extremely unlikely in January. We also note that although Autonomys previous acquisitions have significantly boosted EPS, another deal at this stage in the companys development could equally well be taken negatively by the market."

So much for the sell recommendation - up 89!



Autonomy Sees Fiscal Year Earnings In Line, Strong Cash Conversion

LONDON -(Dow Jones)- Autonomy Corporation PLC (AU.LN), an infrastructure software company, said Wednesday it expects to report 2009 full year results in line with analyst consensus estimates of revenues of $740 million and fully diluted adjusted EPS of $0.97.

MAIN FACTS:

-Company expects to report strong cash conversion for the year, consistent with its peers of similar growth rates, and one of the highest rates of conversion from revenues to cash seen in the industry.

-Fourth quarter saw very strong cash collection with Days Sales Outstanding, or DSOs, returning to the traditional pre-third quarter 2009 levels.

-Cash conversion in the fourth quarter exhibited expected seasonality as flagged at the third quarter 2009 results, and the tax rate was in line with the anticipated full year rate of 28%.

-In the fourth quarter 2009 required research and development capitalization under IAS 38 is expected to return to traditional levels, and the company neither entered into nor completed any acquisitions during the quarter.

Hmmm. Interesting though. Just one question, how can 'A Fact' head a phrase ' Company expects.....?' In fact, reading that report, nothing is a fact. It's all expectation.
