Still Waiting
- 21 Sep 2003 22:33
The chart for this stock says it all.
The company is quickly becoming a real gem in the telematics field, over the last month the co. has announced re-seller contracts which will bring in min. 2m or >30% of last years T/O alone.
The company is already experiencing massive organic growth so the co. should be profitable now following last years 500k loss.
The co. has approx. 6m cash and is in one of the hottest growth areas at the moment.
With a market cap. of 25m this will be re-rated x2/3 minimum within the next 6-12 months IMHO.
MM buys went through on Friday with T/O continuing to build, one to put on your monitor...

I have to add as well, that I think that is CYH's problem - everything seems to be small potatoes. They need some big money deals. Until then I'm watching and waiting from a distance (no longer a holder after much waiting).

overgrowth
Thanks for the analysis. Points which would give a more bullish view: (a) Sainsbury to You contract taking effect in second half; (b) expectations from Norwich Union relationship; (c) "substantial improvement during the third quarter in both corporate and general business sectors". Your point re reaping benefit from Year 1: the point is that they are not doing so because they took all the credit in year 1; the new and more sensible recognition policy delays 5/6ths of credit from current 6-month period to next 5 periods. My reworking of the last 3 years on basis that current policy applied indicates they would now be in reasonable profit.
The aspect which seems to be well accepted in the market are their information systems based on Fleetstar-Online. It would be helpful to know, however, who are now their main competitors in the core area of fleet control.

Just watched an item on Working Lunch which says Norwich U is launching a box at 200 for young drivers to buy and install in their cars to track their mileage and areas they drive in also whether they are driving late at night which is when most drink related accidents occur. If they buy this and prove to be driving responsibly they qualify for much reduced insurance premiums. If this takes on and sells well I would guess that CYH is the main supplier.

Yes probably, as a low mileage driver that would suit me.

Presumably this is Cybit technology. I note that it is being offered to only 1500 drivers, so it's still in the pilot study stage, but would be great news for Cybit if it took off.

After a little more digging I don't think the Norwich Union scheme does have anything to do with Cybit after all: according to the Financial Times 'Norwich Union has formed a partnership with Ohio-based Progressive, the US's fourth-largest insurance group; IBM and mobile phone group Orange to operate the scheme.'

Didn't seem to tie in with CybIT focus on lorry fleets. So a complementary product; positive is evidence that Norwich Union mean business and will "encourage" clients to utilise the CYH facilities.

I've always thought this to be Cybit contribution to Norwich Union link up...similar kit to mapAmobile keep track of mobile phones, also similar to unit in cars small vans keep track of individual remote staff.. duty of care etc. also similar unit used in DriveIT to assist car share schemes all sound much the same sort kit to me ...hope I'm not wrong..............

dougie (p.2782),
I hear what your saying, but I still think its small potatoes for CYH.
If insure-as-you-drive comes in then CYH could be on to a big winner, but even that could be a few years off still. I hope I'm wrong.
rgds,
