CyanConnode (CYAN LN) - FY24 update: revenue materially ahead

CyanConnode exceeded FY24 revenue expectations and has high visibility into FY25, supported by strong deliveries and a growing backlog respectively.

CyanConnode - New Award In Thailand

A letter of award for over 100,000 CNIC modules in Thailand confirms solid momentum in orders for CyanConnode. While much of the company’s growth is coming from India it is good to see geographic diversification and this announcement follows success in the Middle East and North Africa.

CyanConnode - One Million Module Order

CyanConnode has announced a million Ominmesh module order with Montecarlo for deployment for a new end utility in the state of Maharashtra, India. Installation is due to commence in Q4 FY24 and spread over 27 months before moving into a 93 month support and maintenance contract. With more than 220m meters out of 250m now sanctioned for tender, the number of subcontractor awards is expected to pick up pace. We have upgraded the number of module deliveries in FY25 and using an assumed market share

CyanConnode (CYAN LN) - Largest order in financial year to date

CyanConnode announced an order for 1m units, its largest order this financial year to date. The contract will help underpin revenues for FY24 but, to a greater extent, will support our forecast for 111% revenue growth in FY25. CyanConnode is poised for many years of strong growth as it continues to win a significant share of India’s scheme to implement 250m smart meters.

2024 Outlook - Clean Energy In 2024

Performance of clean energy shares was weak in 2023 other than in storage. 2024 is likely to see storage continue to perform but renewables, bioenergy and hydrogen could also see an improved environment in the year. While elections in the US and the EU could result in weaker support for clean energy, these are to an extent offset by progress at COP28 and the extent to which electorates recognise climate change in the face of almost unavoidable evidence.

CyanConnode- Interims See Sales Quadruple

The CyanConnode interim results show strong sales growth as momentum, notably in India, takes hold. India now sees tenders for over 220m smart meters sanctioned to date creating a significant opportunity for CyanConnode where it is already a major player. Costs have risen to meet this potential demand but the company is moving towards profitability and cash collection is strong. The company itself expects full year results to meet market expectations.

CyanConnode (CYAN LN) - H1 FY24: On track

CyanConnode’s H1 results position the company to meet our full year forecasts. The company does not need to grow revenue yoy in H2 in order to meet full year estimates. The Indian smart metering programme appears on track, with 98m smart meters already awarded to prime bidders and these orders should soon filter down to competitively well positioned subcontractors such as CyanConnode. These market drivers position the company well to grow revenue 39% in FY24 and 111% in FY25 and for a £1.9m of o

CyanConnode - IntelliSmart Launches Fund Raising

One of CyanConnode’s Indian partners has announced a major funding initiative to fund the roll out of smart meters across the country. We see this as helping to de-risk the opportunity with this important customer, which now has 1.7m Omnimesh Modules on order with CyanConnode.

Hybridan Research: Sector Review: Artificial intelligence in UK cybersecurity: the human uplift 17/04/2024

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. To ensure the impact of AI on cybersecurity to be a net-positive, we need to pit good AI against bad AI.

SRT Marine Systems - FY24 update: revenue forecasts pushed out for new June YE

SRT Marine Systems has reported a change of year end from 12-months to March 2024 to 15-months to June 2024, with revenue forecasts extended by three months for both new year ends, and an encouraging operational update. The company is concerned that government related paperwork on two existing CG projects (SEA and ME) may not be completed in time for a March invoice and risks falling into the next quarter. In one jurisdiction where there a number of new project prospects, the company must meet s

Filtronic - Backlog supports strong growth from H224

Filtronic’s recent investment and focus on high-performance radio frequency (RF) design and manufacturing is starting to pay off, with recent new customer wins, development contracts and volume production orders boosting the order backlog. H124 results do not reflect this recent success: revenue was essentially flat and investment in sales and engineering reduced EBITDA. However, the strong backlog gives management confidence that revenue and profit will exceed consensus estimates for FY24 and F

Calnex Solutions - FY24 trading update – marking time

Calnex has released a pre-close trading update for the year to March 2024, indicating that revenue would be £16.3m, c£0.7m below our forecast, partly due to the timing of orders at the end of the period. Group trading has been impacted by the well-documented, continuing challenges in the Telecoms sector which have seen delayed project timings leading to corresponding delays in customer spending. Administrative costs are being controlled and are focussed on maintaining R&D. Calnex remains confide

Filtronic has reported results in-line with management expectations for H1/24, and now expects to perform ahead of our forecasts for FY24E and FY25E in terms of revenue and profit. We are raising our revenue forecasts for FY24E and FY25E by 14.6% and 6.2% respectively, and our EBITDA forecasts by 85.2% and 28.0% respectively. The increase in expectation is driven by a strong recent acceleration in order flow, including a £7.8m order announced today. In this report we present a detailed review of

Thunderclap in British telecoms

FY23 revenues and EBITDA were in line with expectations. The major news was that BT plans to shed more than 40% of staff. At the end of the decade the EBITDA could reach £11bn with the massive restructuring announced and capex could return to €3.5bn per year. EBITDA less capex could be multiplied by 2.5 and therefore also the dividend. This could value BT at 385 pence at that time. We maintain our opinion at Add on the stock.

A fairly safe long term buy and hold

A decent Q1 performance despite the expected headwinds from cost-of-living pressure and cost inflation. The group is clearly a fairly safe long-term buy and hold. BT plans to shed more than 40% of staff by the end of the decade. In parallel it is further accelerating its FTTP deployment with high capex. But at the end of this phase EBITDA-capex could be multiplied by 2.5. Speculation could also again reignite as Drahi’s empire (owning 24.5% of BT) is being shaken by corruption cases.

Increasingly aggressive on the TV side

Q4 revenues were only up by 1.3% yoy (excluding the inclusion of EE for two months). A better performance than might be thought at first sight given the 8% decline recorded by the wholesale division (due to the benefit of ladder pricing revenue recognised last year). BT’s Fixed consumer revenues, 25% of BT’s business (excluding EE and Openreach) corresponding to BT’s own retail business, were up by 8% yoy with a 20% increase in broadband and TV revenue. Openreach revenue (28% of BT’s revenue not

Q1 in line with expectations

Q1 16 revenues declined by 2.6% yoy (excluding the contact centre business SNT Deutschland which was sold in Q1). Once again growing Consumer revenues were offset by the impact of the ongoing decline in size of the business market and lower revenues at iBasis. The EBITDA decreased by 4.5% yoy but this is due to temporarily higher IT-related costs in network and operations in the run-up to IT rationalisation. Note also an impairment charge related to iBasis for €45m. KPN intends to pay a regul
