We initiate coverage of NCC Group, a well-respected provider of cyber security and software escrow solutions. In FY23, the company experienced a significant market pullback that revealed operational deficiencies. The company appointed a new CEO, who introduced a turnaround strategy in January 2023. We believe the ongoing improvements are transformational and consensus expectations underestimate NCC’s revenue growth and margin potential. In addition, shares trade below historic multiples and thos

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a double-edged sword in cybersecurity. Whilst new AI models, architectures, and innovations are emerging to protect the security posture of organisations, attackers are also benefiting from deepfakes, sophisticated phishing, and automation of malicious codes.

Alan Howard’s push into crypto is a badly kept secret that appears to be crystallising into reality. In our view, the crypto space has undergone a very interesting transition from rampant retail speculation to, well, rampant retail speculation underpinned by a broad base of institutional interest.
