IC updateHere is the comment .......... BATM beats forecasts Created: 4 August 2009 Written by: Malar Velaigam BATM's computer network traffic control products have continued to gain traction in the medical sector, with first half sales in that division more than doubling from $5.7m to $13.1m (7.7m) on the back of increased sales and marketing efforts.The growth in the medical business helped offset weaker trading in BATM's larger telecoms operation, which saw first half sales dip by 7 per cent to $55.9m (33m). However, this was widely expected as 2008 figures benefited from the provision of communications products to the Beijing Olympics. Moreover, the company's networking peers have been reporting high single digit revenue declines this year, too. The telecoms operation enjoys higher margins, which explains the fall in BATM's operating profits from $14m to 10.8m, although this was still 14 per cent higher than the second half of 2008. Reported first half pre-tax profits rose by a third, though, due to 2.2m of gains on financial instruments and foreign exchange.Chief executive Zvi Marom remains confident on the full year outlook, based on current trading patterns and the strong forward order book. So analyst Paul Cornelius of FinnCap Research is expecting full year pre-tax profits of $26.9m, giving EPS of 6.6 (2008: 6.9).

Yesterday's "hanging man" closing candlestick, signaling today's fall on the short term cycle of charting, the Indicator Slow Stochastick was also at the TOP of the cycle at overbought.

The shares have been on the UPTREND since late February

Further charting of yesterday's closing position and Indicators............

Retracement how much will fall this time?

Second day falling, as I was expecting. During the last 3 month, the retrament have been pretty large.....
...92%, 87% and 83%, lets hope this time is better, but I do remember posters somewhere else were complaining saying: why BVC, gives almost all the rises away?

I think the rise earlier on, was much better from 24p to 35p a rise of 11p or 45% and only retrace to 30.50p or 13%.

good night

retracement chart ...

Yes, I am tired, the retracement % during the last 3 month, are much worse than I thought by eye

92%, 87% and 83%, lets hope this time is better, but I do remember posters complaining saying: why BVC, gives almost all the rises away?.

I think the rise earlier on was much better from 24 to 35p a rise of 11p or 45% and only retrace to 30.50p or 13%.

good night

The retracement goes on and below is what the share price shows at the moment ..... 40.375 -2.50p (-5.88%)

As usual some directors are milking shareholder good will ....200K this time

31% This is the discount at which BATM
Advanced Communications (BVC) is
trading at relative to its peers in the
technology hardware sector. KBC Peel
Hunt analyst Simon Strong gauges the
sectors price/earnings ratio (PE) for
2010 to be 15.7x, representing 31%
upside potential for BATM.
The first step towards closing this
gap was Mondays (14 Sep) announcement
from BATMs original equipment manufacturer (OEM) partner Alcatel-Lucent.
The Franco-American combine announced it would be presenting ground-breaking
technology to address the explosive growth in internet traffic.
BATMs leading internet infrastructure technology is price competitive and combines
well with other vendors equipment. A number of recent deals have signalled
the past years squeeze on telecoms equipment spending is coming to an end, as
overburdened internet networks are in desperate need of capacity upgrades. We
believe the upgrade cycle is only a very small way through to completion, notes
KBCs Strong, who sees sustainable and growing demand for BATMs ethernet carrier
access products for many years to come.

Altium Securities initiates coverage of BATM adv. with a "buy" recommendation.

"Shares in BATM Advanced Communications (BVC.L) are among the top FTSE Small Cap .FTSC gainers, up nearly 6 percent, as Altium Securities initiates coverage on the Israeli telecoms equipment company with a "buy" recommendation.

Altium, in a note, says BATM trades at a discount to its closest comparators and to the telecoms equipment sector in spite of an increase of more than 100 percent in the share price since March.

The broker says its 65 pence price target equates to a full-year 2010 PE of about 14.5 times, "not expensive given the company's strategic positioning, attractive outlook and currency tailwinds".

It says that as one of the leading innovators in metro Ethernet (a computer network covering a metropolitan area and which is based on the Ethernet standard) access solutions, BATM is well placed to benefit from the expected infrastructure upgrades by network operators over the next few years.

The after hours news yesterday is doing good for the share price this morning with over 2.50p rise .........
