Cloudcall Group (CALL)
New CRMs to drive additional growth | Cenkos, 18 Sep
Paid Access
"The 30% revenue expansion secured in H1A has been driven by voice-only products. H2E will see a broadened launch of the unified communications platform and further growth opportunities. The recent fund raising has helped finance the development of a scalable architecture and widen the number of CRM integrations which should lead to supplemental revenue expansion thereafter. The over-sold stock price is not fairly valuing the enlarged addressable opportunity in our opinion..."

Focusrite (TUNE)
Second-half trading as expected with higher cash | Edison, 18 Sep
Free Access
"Focusrite ends the year with revenue as forecast, continued profit growth in the second half and revenue in line with our expected slower second-half growth. Cash of £22.8m is 10% higher than we forecast and is now over half the balance sheet. US tariffs will likely apply to Focusrite’s business there and management has been considering its response, while risks associated to Brexit appear relatively minor to us. It seems the share price continues to discount a significant acquisition..."
