TechMARK movers: NCC figures to be in line

1st Dec 2009 14:33

NCC, which provides escrow and assurance testing software services, says that its interim figures will be in line with expectations. This reassured investors and the share price has risen.NCC has already stated that revenues were 25% higher in the first four months of the financial year. Like-for-like growth, excluding acquisitions, was 11%. NCC expects to report its figures for the six months to November 2009 on 21 January. Shares in wireless and travel software and services provider Anite fell ahead of its interim figures, which are due to be published on 8 December. Anite expects to report an operating profit of £3.5m in the six months to October 2009. This year is expected to be second half weighted with second half profits more than double those of the first half. Broker Canaccord Adams believes the recovery is already factored in to the share price. Last week, the broker changed its recommendation from hold to sell.
