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 .........

Telco Systems Introduces Ruggedized Ethernet Switches for Military Applications

Telco Systems a BATM company (LSE: BVC) and a leading provider of Carrier Ethernet access solutions, has announced the availability of two new Ethernet routing switches designed specifically for military use in harsh environments. The T5R-24T and T5R-24GT are MIL-STD-810F compliant and provide wire speed, non-blocking Layer 2-4 switching at Gigabit Ethernet speeds.

With up to 24 Ethernet connections and four (4) Gigabit fiber uplinks in a 1.4 inch enclosure, the T5R is tailor-made for high-density IP services in space-constrained airborne and ground communications environments. The switch can support IP connectivity for airborne and radar systems, signals intelligence, UAV data lines, and mobile communications.

This line of ruggedized switches also offers a complete suite of switching and routing protocols based on Telco Systems carrier grade BiNOS networking software suite. A unique Fast Ring technology provides the highest level of network reliability with recovery time of less than 50 ms.

The T5R-24GT-RUG provides 18 auto-sensing 10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet connections and four (4) Gigabit fiber uplinks, while the T5R-24T-RUG supports 24 auto-sensing 10/100BaseT Ethernet connections, two (2) Gigabit copper uplinks and two (2) Gigabit fiber uplinks. Expansion options are available for each model to support up to 54 ports in the T5R-24GT and 66 ports in the T5R-24T.

Both switches are available 30 days after receipt of order. Pricing starts at $20,000.

Sharewatch: BATM
By Philip Stafford -- Published: October 17 2009

Along with death and taxes, growth of internet traffic appears to be one of lifes constants. Yet the pressure on operators to provide acceptable service levels has been a boon for BATM, the technology equipment maker. It makes internet switches, which act as traffic lights for ethernet broadband, the standard network technology. And it has seen operating profits rise 44 per cent to $24m and revenues climb 40 per cent to $134.5m. Net cash jumped from $57.3m to $69.1m. The group suffered this year as operators cut spending, which is why the shares lost two thirds of their value and why Altium Securities expects BATM to post modest full-year profits of $27m from revenues of $139.1m. So, although the shares have risen 44 per cent in three months, they still trade on a price-earnings ratio of around 16 times, below the IT sector

Naked Trader adds BATM

I bought something I really ought to have bought a while back - in fact
it was on two seminar shortlists but I never bought and I can't remember why!

So it keeps on going up and I've taken the chance and bought anyway at a
higher price that's BATM (BVC) collecting 6,500 at 56. (well 56.04 to be
precise but what's .04 between friends?)

Target 68 stop 51. Bit risky as it's gone up quite a lot already but it has
gone up for a reason. Very hot sector and a pretty good balance sheet too
- and possibility of a bid in there for not much. Could still have decent
upside but I must get out if I bought it at the top.

i got out at top .no risk no gain .its a calculated risk,hope it works out

Daily MAIL

MARKET REPORT:

Israeli telecoms equipment group BATM added 2p at 58p after KBC Peel Hunt lifted its target price 17pc to 70p.

The fundamentals behind BATM's core market is set to improve so there is growing capacity for earnings to exceed current expectations.
After Arbuthnot banking group said that its investment banking arm had been profitable over the last quarter, rival Collins Stewart rallied 2p to 81p. The stock is down 6 per cent over the last six months and looks cheap.

Attractive outlook for BATM
Published: October 23 2009

BATM Advanced Communications, the telecoms equipment maker, was in demand yesterday.

It rose 3.5 per cent to 58p after KBC Peel Hunt increased its target price to 70p, citing the improving outlook for trading.

"We believe that third-quarter results from fixed and wireless telecoms operators will point to an improving capital expenditure profile. BATM will be a strong beneficiary of such a trend," predicted analyst Simon Strong.
