IND is 20% up today on some chunky purchases by directors, including Hamish Grossart who is a smart operator. Shares have not been doing anything for some months now after a big spurt last spring.

Does anyone have any info about this company? I only know that it is a software company and historically has made enormous losses. So is it in a turnaround situation and about to break even? Which software sector is it in?

have been watching this one today, looks like some good news has moved them.

"IndigoVision Technology Behind New Cell-Phone MPEG-4 Chip

June 14, 2005 -- Winbond Electronics Corporation, the Taiwan based integrated circuit manufacturer, has announced the successful completion of tests for its latest MPEG-4 based Codec chips. Using intellectual property from IndigoVision Ltd, the UK based digital network video specialist, the new Winbond chip is targeted at cell-phone customers in the rapidly expanding video over cell-phone market.

IndigoVision provided their unique, market leading, hardware based MPEG-4 Codec soft core IP and Winbond have successfully transferred that IP into silicon in very short time.

Steve Wright ASIC Manager at IndigoVision said, "Winbond chose the IndigoVision IP after an extensive evaluation process because our soft core gives the best video quality available from any MPEG-4 product available today. As the core is silicon verified it is a stable, mature design and hence offers our IP customers a shorter and lower risk route to market", moreover, Sinostar Technologies our exclusive agent in Taiwan , have provided great support enabling Winbond to tape-out the chip on schedule.

Industry analysts have predicted that up to half of the existing worldwide cell-phone users will replace their handsets with video enabled models. But to date consumers have been disappointed with the slow frame rate and poor quality experienced with current technology. The Winbond chips based on IndigoVision MPEG-4 technology are the first of a new breed which can provide high frame rates and high video quality over existing cell-phone networks. Broadcast TV, films, sports and video-conferencing are all applications which will be enhanced by the Winbond chips in cell-phones."


and shares up 9%

The share price has perked up today (on very small volume) after a few days of weakness (also on very little volume).

They should now enjoy a period of strength leading up to the results.

Could not resist, got some today ! Looking fowrard to a good result.

about 3 turnover, 10p profit and 5 to buy LOL. CCTV companies are two a penny and IND's kit will be copied by the Chinees next year.

this is a great performing share. unfortunately the spread is huge (20p) and the stock very tightly held indeed, thus making it difficult to trade in more than 500/1000 share lots (from memory)

The results are due on Thursday.
They should be excellent figures but the prospects for growth make IND one of the more exciting shares of the moment.
They are very tightly held (as Cynic points out) and only 2 market makers.
However the consequence is that any piece of news gives an exaggerated movement on the SP.
I reckon this week's exaggerated movement could well see it above 600p by Friday afternoon.
Not for widows or orphans though !!!

Ian

nice sharply rising 200 dma and in my amateurish way, looks as though sp may have just broken through resistance at aboit 500 level

Results are out:

and very good they are too !!!!!

Ian

and very good they are too !!!!!

yes, if they were 60p to buy. these are way overpriced

give it a couple of years and the eps should be approaching 60p !!!

Ian

You may convince some that a current p/e of 70 is value by forecasting in future growth but you are forgeting kits get copied and get cheaper.

Its the same with videos, cd players and Tesco are now selling flat screen TV's for 200. It will be the same for cctv. This company might get away with charging the max now but that will not always be the case.

I think we'll have to agree to disagree on this one.

;o)

given that Indigo is such a new company, i don't think normal valuations and p/e comparisons can be made ...... for sure Quantum Leap, a pretty good and well-researched monthly sheet, has rated this company highly at least since late last year.

Savoy-Fusebox-etc.
See your still trying hard to convince us of the error of our ways, but the figures always seem to be ahead of your rantings.
Why not just buy a few and join the sensible people.
Go on you know I`m right.
Cheers.

I also have some, but for sure that is no endorsement to follow suit ...... as i mentioned a couple of days ago, this stock is very illiquid with very wide spread ..... it follows that movements down as well as up can be very violent and unforeseen

Looks as though the market is realising the potential of IND.

Very illiquid share for sure but on days like this ......................

;o)

sp reaction is not at all as i expected ...... tiny volume and just ticking up slowly like a "proper" stock!

The eps forecasts from some of the more reliable BB posters on other boards vary from 34p to 50p for y/e 2007 and into orbit for y/e 2008.

These are guys who got it pretty much spot on for this year when they made their forecasts quite a while ago so I have confidence in their analytical skills in following this Company.

Of course things may go awry in the way of increased competition but even if the most conservative estimates are attained then the current share price, despite today's rise, looks very attractive indeed.

So much so that I have bought more at 555p !!!!!!
