This is a BUY tip from Tom Winnifrith...

Sorry if this is rather boring as the market cap is now c 350 million but at 470p Avanti Communications (AVN) - a stock held in the SF t1ps Growth Fund - is really very cheap whichever way you look at it. It is now funded to launch 3 satellites into space ( and fully insured if the worst happens which will only delay the programme by 6 months anyway). You value Avanti by discounting back the net cashflows these satellites will generate. That depends on how much capacity is sold and at what price. Use a model based on very conservative assumptions and this stock is worth 13 ( the lowest valuation in the market). But that model uses assumptions about sales prices which are already being beaten by forward sales Avanti is booking today. Use those prices and you head up to the 22.50 value of house broker Cenkos. My own view is that Avanti will do better still and this stock could therefore be worth 25. Exc itement will mount as the first satellite is launched later this year. Remember those valuations are the Net Present Value of future cashflows ( i.e. what they are worth today). If you can buy at under 600p ( as you can now) you should do so and sit back and wait. I suspect after HYLAS 1 is launched you will never again be able to buy at less than 600p.

You aint seen nothin yet :-)

Just bought another 1500 ... these'll either be worth 10 quid a share by xmas tabby or 10 quid for my total holding if that rocket blows up :-)

I see my timing was impeccable again lol

Think this is going to tread water until the launch.

Either that or it could go up or maybe down :-)

Class trading Dil :-)

Looks like the satellite launched yesterday has gone missingon a positive note it wasnt the fault of Ariane 5 launcherI think you had better keep the morale up Dilknow any space jokes?
Eutelsat Communications SA announced that it has lost the W3B satellite following an anomaly which was detected on the satellite's propulsion subsystem after its launch by an Ariane 5 rocket. W3B was scheduled to be located at 16 degrees East to replace Eutelsat's EUROBIRD 16, W2M and SESAT 1 satellites. With the loss of W3B

I have a feeling this is going to make Meldex look like a snip?

Bloody useless share!;o)

At least Hylas is insured, so if it goes AWOL all will not be lost. Just the signal! Oh, and the revenue until a new one is built. That will only take a couple of days won't it?!

skinny ... uck off :-)


Look on the bright side tabby , chances of two in a row getting lost has got to be massive as you would know.
