Software stocks that enable corporates to sell more, improve quality, cut costs, save employees time and/or reduce their ‘carbon footprints’ are ideally placed in today’s tech/ESG world. Cue Elecosoft, who said this morning that 2019 PBT would be “ahead of LY” (£3.67m) and “in line with expectations” (consensus £4.1m) - despite being impacted by forex (ED est -2%, weaker SEK vs £) and macro uncertainties (eg Brexit, General Election and subdued Eurozone). We think this is a creditable outcome. Not least because it underlines the resilience of the business - while the results are actually a touch better than our previous (bottom of the range) profit & cashflow estimates, albeit with revenues a smidgeon shy.
