Compugroup die SAP im E-Health Bereich
Einzig interessant scheint die Unterschreitung der 10% in der letzten Woche, aber vielleicht ist das ja mit den anderen Mitteilungen zu erklären. Hab keine Lust das auseinander zu nehmen und zu analysieren.
Die Aufnahme der Kreditlinie von 300 Mill. lässt jedenfalls den Schluss zu, dass eine große Transaktion bei CGM geplant ist.
1) Die strategische Logik immer noch besteht
2) Die Marktanteile am weltweiten E-Health Markt jetzt verteilt werden
3) Ein starke globale Position CGM selbst vor einer Übernahme schützt
4) Targets von dieser Größe/Qualität im Markt selten sind und ansonsten für CGM finanziell nicht darstellbar sind
5) Die Reichweite von CGM unter Leistungserbringern nochmals nachhaltig gesteigert wird
6) Ein Großteil der Isoftumsätze wiederkehrende Leistungen sind
7) Mit fast 100 Mill. EBITDA 2011 ist CGM finanziell stark genug Isoft zu restrukturieren

Buy or Sell a Business
Troubled software maker iSoft is now considering a sale, according to chairman Robert Moran, as the company looks to restructure its entire business and repay its debt after recording a $383 million loss this year.
The announcement comes after the company's shares have plummeted over 90% during the past year, with Moran saying the company was too slow to move with market trends and was carrying too much debt at $240 million.
The company's troubles haven't stopped, either, with the firm recently announcing that the maturity of $133 million in debt had been brought forward by over a year to 2012, due to the firm's failure to meet incentives proposed by its banks.
Moran said that selling the company was "one of the options" when prompted by one shareholder. But he also said, in response to a note that shares were now trading at 7.8c that "the reason I think probably all of us here is because we think it's worth more than 7c".
The company is now working with UBS to pay down debt and conduct a massive restructure of the business. Moran outlined a number of different factors for the company's demise.
"We failed to achieve the growth levels we had planned in many of our key markets," Moran said yesterday.
"To a large extent, this was due to the impact of the global financial crisis on Government budgets across continental Europe and the UK and to a lesser extent in other economies," he said.
"Secondly, we were too slow to react to the changed economic environment and did not rein in expenditure... I acknowledge on behalf of the board the distress that this has caused to all involved and the impact on our share price speaks for itself."
Moran also said the company was too exposed to Britain and Europe, where more than two thirds of its revenue comes from, and that the appreciation of the dollar had a "significant effect" on results.
But he also said he did not have an answer as to how the company could reduce its debt. "At this stage I don't have an answer to exactly how that will happen," he said.
Newly appointed chief executive Andrea Fiumicelli said the company is seeking $30 million in cost savings for 2011.
"On the revenue side, management entered 2011 knowing that we were beginning the year with lower contracted revenues than 2010 due to contracted declines in the National Programme and several contracts ending in the Netherlands."
But despite the company's supposed optimism, there will be some board changes. Moran is stepping down to enable the appointment of an independent chairman due to his involvement with majority shareholder Oceania Capital Partners, and directors Anthony Sherlock, Claire Jackson and Peter Wise are set to leave the company.
But Moran was quick to say the directors weren't abandoning ship, saying that iSoft is still "a great company operating at the cutting edge of the eHealth industry".
However, he also said the company would be unable to provide any guidance to the company's restructuring. Revenue is forecast to be about the same as 2010, at $400 million
DH considers CSC contract termination
10 February 2011 Sarah Bruce and Jon Hoeksma
The Department of Health is considering terminating its multi-billion pound local service provider contract with CSC, following the company’s continued failure to deliver Lorenzo to the North, Midlands and East of England.
The trigger has been the failure to hit the milestone of getting Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust live with the iSoft system, due to have occurred on Monday.
EHealth Insider understands that the long-running CSC contract renegotiation has been escalated to NHS chief executive Sir David Nicholson.
A spokesperson for the DH confirmed that Pennine Care had failed to go live in line with a remediation plan drawn up by CSC, and that it has notified the company that it is in breach of its contract.
The spokesperson told EHI: “We can confirm that the Department of Health is considering the options available under the current contract, including termination.
"This action follows the notification by CSC of its failure to meet a new deadline that CSC itself proposed for delivering "Lorenzo" (a patient information system) at Pennine Care mental health trust."
Usually the DH routinely declines to offer any comment on contract negotiations.
EHI understands that the latest move is based on CSC’s inability to meet repeated delivery milestones and reduced NHS trust demand for the Lorenzo product, exacerbated by a reduction in its scope negotiated to reduce the cost of the programme to the government.
As a result, the DH is thought to want to completely re-set the LSP deal to reflect changed realities.
The outcome of the ‘reset’ negotiations now underway could be a much reduced CSC deal, covering far fewer trusts across the whole of the NME. If this does occur there will be close scrutiny of the price paid for reduced delivery.
The DH has been under pressure from MP Richard Bacon to show that any new deal for the NME would be value for money.
Bacon, a member of the Public Accounts Committee, and a long-standing critic of the national programme, has written letters to both Connelly and the National Audit Office asking questions about the deal and earlier contract re-signs.
However, the DH has yet to resolve legal action with Fujitsu triggered by its departure as LSP for the South of England in 2008.
Fujitsu is rumoured to be seeking up to £700m. Bacon has told EHI that he believes the Department is under pressure to sign a new deal to avoid further legal battles.
According to analysts TechMarketView, CSC invested a further £43m in the NHS contract in Q3 for which it saw just £11.2m in revenues.
In the previous quarter, it invested £75m for a return of £14.3m. With the missed go-live at Pennine Care, the company will not receive expected milestone payments.
Insiders suggest that CSC may have already spent up to a £1 billion on its NHS deal, which was originally meant to be worth £3.4 billion to it. The company has already been required to deliver £500m of savings.
Last week, EHI exclusively reported that CSC was unlikely to meet the remediation plan that detailed how it would complete the deployment of Lorenzo at four key early adopter sites: NHS Bury, Morecambe Bay University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Birmingham Women’s NHS Foundation Trust and Pennine Care.
Although NHS Bury went live on schedule, the remediation plan was put in place after Morecambe Bay failed to go live with the latest version of the software, known as Release 1.9, at the end of March 2010.
The deadline had been set by Christine Connelly, the DH’s director general for informatics, as part of a package of measures to show that suppliers to the National Programme for IT in the NHS were making significant progress in the acute sector.
Morecambe Bay eventually went live in June and Birmingham Women's followed in late October. However, DH confirmed yesterday that Pennine Care had not gone live on its latest target date of 7 February.
With the NHS chief executive now personally involved matters appear to be coming to a head.

freut mich, dich mal wieder zu lesen und dass du keine negativen Fundamentals hast und das nach wie vor positiv siehst.
Einige Sachen gefallen mir aber immer weniger.
Die von Kat mal angesprochene S-K-S Formation scheint Gestalt anzunehmen, dachte die Nackenlinie sei 10,75 und da kommt dann doch irgendein vernünftiges Bid mit ein paar k, dem war keineswegs so. Keiner der Fonds scheint an protect seiner Bestände interessiert zu sein, warum auch immer. Wenn sich die Formation bewahrheitet, steht ne 8, irgenwas bald da. Dass unser Dörnröschen schläft, wissen wir ja, aber das ist jetzt doch Koma.
Es geht drum, man hat nicht die Möglichkeit, seinen CMG- Anteil zu einem vernünftigen Preis im Markt unterzubringen, wenn man den Depotanteil von CMG auch nur gering verringen will. Weitere 5k sehr, sehr vorsichtig unterzubringen, no chance, bringt den Kurs wahrscheinlich unter 10 => ruininert man den Wert seiner eigenen Bestände.
Na ja, dann eben Daumen drücken, dass die Charts ned stimmen und das der Gesamtmarkt nicht wegbricht, CMG scheint keineswegs so Marktbewertungsunabhängig zu reagieren, wie das eigentlich sein sollte.
Alles Gute den CMG- Investierten, Scan und Kat haben ja recht => Man glaubt dran oder es ist sinnlos ^^
Auf der anderen Seite hat das Geschäftsmodell von CGM einen sehr großen Charme, da es planbare Erträge generiert und solide wächst. Man hat hier also einen Energiekonzern mit Wachstumsphantasie. Zudem war 2010 das Jahr, wo CGM wieder seine Marge steigern konnte, dies wird jetzt sukzessive weitergehen und für 2012 kann man schon ein Cash net income von 1,3 - 1,5 pro Aktie erwarten. Sollte die Aktie daher noch einmal auf EUR 8,00 zurückgehen, werde ich so viele Aktien kaufen wie ich bekommen kann.
für die Antwort. Ich bin mir nur nicht sicher, ob wir in diesem Fall nicht aneinander vorbeisprechen.
Ich bezweifle weder die Größe noch die Ertragskraft noch eventuelle Zukunftsaussichten. Wenn ich das tun würde, hätte ich ja keine Aktie und mein Geld woanders angelegt.
Mich verunsichert immer mehr, dass sich Compugroup offensichtlich nicht den Deut um ihren Aktienkurs und schon gar nicht um ihre eh wenigen Aktionäre schert. Wenn ein Unternehmen in dieser Größenordnung auch nur annähernd zuläßt, das ihr Wert (in diesem Fall Börsenwert) durch mich kleinen Privatanleger um 20 oder 30% gesenkt werden KANN !!, dann stimmt was nicht und zwar grundsätzlich nicht.
Noch dazu, wenn sie den großen Wurf (oder: wenn ich mir das richtig gemerkt habe=> wenn ich aufstehe, denke ich an Wachstum und beim Einschlafen wieder oder so ca.) planen und die Aktie, wie du richtig sagst, als Tauschwährung nicht verwendbar ist, weil Kurs zu niedrig, dann kann nicht zugelassen werden, dass 5k den Marktwert nochmals entscheidend senken können.
Da wurde was nicht verstanden oder es interessiert sie nicht, beides ist kein angenehmes Gefühl. Es sollte sowas wie "Aktienkultur" geben (entschuldige den dummen Ausdruck), oder "Aktionärkuscheln", geschafft, noch dümmer, hoffe du verstehst. Wenn sie das nicht interessiert, ist das auch zu akzeptieren, nur gehört dann die Börsennotierung zurückgezogen.
