i was wondering if anyone out there had any strong views? this company appears to be delivering and has just turned EBITA positive after a great trading statement last week. seems like upside to +200p once results are out.

any comments or thoughts would be appreciated.

The potential is undoubtedly there, Proptrade, and I won't buy on purely chart potential, the fundamentals need to be attractive too. However, now I am in, I think I will double up on today's confirming price action.

small pullback at close. maybe some buyers done? expect a penny or two easier for tomorrow

It looks like one MM was holding the bid at 115 until the 150k order was filled. Some selling apparent but a positive close with a bit of volume was my request and it was granted so I hope for a positive week ahead.

it was interesting yesterday because the large buyer probably completed with the 150/- and the MM who completed it moved off the bid and hit the oppo. fun stuff but since ESY has held in there, albeit on small volume, i think there are buyers lower down or the same large buyer has reloaded with something like a 110 top. interesting.

Been out of most of the day but looks to be a bit of a quieter day today. Am I correct in thinking that once the breakout has occured, the sp can drop and use the previous resistance level as the new support level?

That's about the theory of it, and meant to be a healthy sign to jettison the doubters. We shall see!

we shall. it was very positive that we didn't see a 5p drop. really think there are buyers still around...

ok, so there is the drop. down to support levels...lets see if the buyers reemerge. reults around the corner and some healthy consolidation is to be expected.

Wasn't really expecting this drop today but lets jettison the doubters as Bones said. Price is sitting on the 20ma so lets see if it bounces of it. Offer moved up on L2 from 108 to 110, some interest here perhaps.

small buyers and as i said above i think the big buyer has reloaded and moved his limit to about 110. if these close 110 bid or better then they will fly. i am so sure that these are going to be 120+ and this shake out is a few stale holders from the recent runup who are spooked into selling.
This is FUNDAMENTALLY a great story and results and these buyers will see the stock rerated.

by the way check out AVE...added today, something is brewing!

Picking up plenty of business in Europe it seems. From googling, their is plenty of artciles re new business contracts in Europe. The latest seems to be a contract with Volvo in Belgium:

"Volvo Cars Belgium chose for an Easynet network solution."

Can't see the whole report as it's from a subscription paper in Holland.

Also, from MONI's results yesterday:

"15 million paid to Easynet plc in respect of tax
losses purchased from a former subsidiary, ipsaris, as previously disclosed."

Just a few snippet's worth mentioning I thought.

so true. the volvo is on the ESY website and also there is an excellent presentation on LLU.

contract wins are key and a big name could see a 30% rise in ESY overnight.

Cheers for the heads up re AVE, will keep an eye on it. Hopefully the next results will go into some detail on these contracts as there hasn't been any RNS's on them. Perhaps some have not noticed them. Agree with you re a big name and these will rise sharply.

AVE just spiked as i sent this post....may be worth a short term flutter

profit taking today ??

Gotta go out soon, bugger! Plenty of AT trades at 60 though, hmm. This free trial of L2 is great, pity it runs out tonight! :-(

EASYNET WINS MAJOR CONTRACT WITH NEOS NETWORKS



London - Easynet, the Pan-European broadband networking company, announced today
that it has signed a new long-term contract with Neos Networks Limited (a
subsidiary of Scottish and Southern Energy plc) for the provision of dark fibre
and collocation services, with a first year value of 2.7m and a total contract
value of 14.9m, of which 11.3m is new business.



'It is good news for Easynet to get a quality customer like Neos which enables
us to leverage our 21CN network,' commented David Rowe, Chief Executive of
Easynet Group plc.



'This is an important development for Neos,' commented Adrian Pike, Managing
Director of Neos Networks. 'It not only provides us with a resilient connection
across our network, but also allows us to seamlessly interconnect with any other
carrier in the UK. This agreement signals another significant step forward for
the business following its acquisition by Scottish and Southern Energy. The dark
fibre gives us virtually unlimited bandwidth, which will support our growth for
the long term. Easynet's commitment to colocation and flexible options for its
dark fibre services were key factors in the selection process. We look forward
to a long and fruitful working relationship.'

Up 4.5 now, good start to the day. I like the part about the 11.3m of the contract being new business.

it only get better....and this isn't even an LLU stream contract! shame about the drop yesterday otherwise these would be at 120. have to wait until next week!

Agree we would have been in near 120's if it wasn't for the drop yesterday. The cycnical part of me thinks that someomne knew of this deal to be announced today, as the drop yesterday seemed to be way overdone. Also noticed a 400k trade yesterday, hmmm! Buyers seem to be coming back after todays fall back to 110 so hopefully we should move up later today.
