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 ?

This company has just got 12 new contracts. The revenue therefore will be great when the whole market behaves better, expect long term growth, particularly in Spring.

At the moment due to a strong rise recently people is taking profit. So price falls.

62% in 47 minutes...

tipped in shares mag today could double in the next few days mkt cap only 4M
2003 should show profits and turnover rising quickly

agree investors buying in heavily today, could see the price in double figures as early as next week.

Normally I would never dream of recommending a company as tiny as CMS. This is a micro-cap and the shares will rise merely because they are tipped. So far, so bad. But what draws me to this share is the simply astonishing upside potential. Over three years, it is possible sales will rise 20-fold.

The core business is the collection and distribution of data from markets. Before your eyes glaze over, consider what this means. Financial markets are losing their regulatory functions. That leaves them as data recorders and vendors. If they entrust part of their core function to an outside firm, they must have the utmost faith in its abilities.

CMS won contracts from the London Metal Exchange in 2001, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange in 2002 and the Chicago Board of Trade in 2003.

The company believes its core product, the Transactional Data Interface (TDI), is suitable for all the major financial markets. TDI licence fees are worth around 500,000 and there is 100,000 annual maintenance.

The target market contains 100 exchanges and 200 quote vendors . Many of them are in the US and CMS needs to boost its representation there. This will be expensive, so CMS plans to raise 1.5 million from shareholders in the next few weeks. The fundraising will follow a note from new house broker Corporate Synergy.

Apart from the markets themselves, CMS has a second line of business charging banks and brokers for handling their data feeds. This is worth about 25,000 per year per customer.

The final leg of the business is the right to market Prophet X in Europe. This is a browser-based display system. CMS collects 200 per desk per month. Early days yet, but sales are rising nicely.

The company lost 116,000 in the first half, but should be well into profit for the year. Within three years, profits of 5 million to 10 million are not fanciful.

Buys reported until 6.15pm, a sell did go through then and the MMs were offering 6.31 on the bid when the bid drop to 6 pence, so nothing to worry about. They were getting too many buys at 6.75 pence level towards close so did a treeshake.

Another 50-60% rise tomorrow would do nicely.

nice professional site from 4m cap company

up 13% so far today

Up 27.4 % now, looking excellent for a close past 10 pence. Who knows, could even see 15 pence come Monday morning.

They are planning to raise 1.5m.....looks like the deal has been done and the price is rising to exceed the deal price....just like happened on CYH this morning.....


So the price over the next few days looks as if it is dicated by whatever the institutions place on the future value of CWV exploiting their technology in the major financial institutions and exchanges....of which they've already got some of the biggest US exchanges signed up.....could be a 'big ticket' price tag !!

Lucky I found this thread, got in this morning....
nothing to add because SueHelen and Gordon geko said all....
