There has been no comment on 8CO since its listing and it's easy to understand why. After listing at 25c a share back in 2014 it has unceremoniously fallen to a low of 2.5c. Ouch!

However, there are signs that things may be finally improving. 8CO's primary product is the corporate Travel & Expense Management system Expense8 which is used by Woolworths, Broadcast Australia, Amcor and various State and Federal government agencies. It generates revenue on the SaaS (Software as a Service) model, using monthly recurring subscriptions and transaction-based fees.

The last quarterly released yesterday reported solid increases in revenue in FY2019 as compared with FY2018. The company expects this growth to continue into Q4 which is traditionally their strongest quarter of the year.

The 8CO share price has bounced back from 2.5c to 6.6c in the last two and a half months and could see further growth should they have a particularly strong finish to FY2019.

8CO has been powering ahead since I posted on 11 April when it was around 6.6c. Today it reached a high of 16c before settling back to its open price of 12c.

It looks like the Investor Update released yesterday has generated some real interest in the company.

Up 15.63% so far today to 0.185c

One problem I have on a fundamental level is that many Federal Government "Agencies" work on short term contracts and existence.

I'm not that impressed with their income thus far.

My June stock tip! Enterprise SaaS expenses/cost management customer base and revenue is growing. Disposal of Realtors and concentration on development of core Enterprise management is growing revenue to over $4m yearly. New digital payments and cash card solutions bode well for a future where governments will be driving employment growth.
More of a long term than monthly tip maybe!

Have noticed this one again the last few days... not sure about it though, meaning, not sure if I am reading it correctly for a possible run up.

 

[frugal.rock]

Price rising, largest volume day today in ~60 days. Don't hold.
(Was thinking of buying on Monday, but got scared off by vix etc.)

 

[frugal.rock]

Still watching. Looking like a breakout.
Any recent thoughts on this one anyone?
Just noticed, there is an announcement this morning with plenty of tech buzzwords.
Will have to digest it first.

 

[frugal.rock]

Did I mention I bought in at 0.15?
Ta da !

 

[frugal.rock]

So, still holding.
Entry was TA based, now looking at FA to assist setting exit strategy.
Last announcement on 5th Nov summary,

The first contract for 8common’s joint solution

8common (ASX:8CO) is best known for its travel expense software expense8 that is popular with government departments.

But back in August it partnered with larger peer EML Payments (ASX:EML) and launched CardHero and CardHero+. These act as virtual and physical prepaid Mastercards linked to a centralised platform for compliance monitoring.

Today 8common told shareholders it had signed its first significant CardHero contract. The inaugural client was not for profit entity Life Without Barriers.

8common says the three-year contract is worth $1.6 million including a one-off implementation fee and annual SaaS revenue thereafter. CardHero would be rolled out across 2,500 people from Life Without Barriers representing 15 per cent of the total employee and client base.

CEO Ben Brockhoff said he expected more clients soon, particularly from the not for profit sector.

“Our success in delivering travel and expense management solutions to government and large enterprises with expense8 ensures we have a robust underlying platform and support for the CardHero product rollout to one of Australia’s largest not for profit organisations,” he declared.

seems to be getting along

Half Year Highlights:
▪ Total revenue (excluding Government incentives) increased to $1.9m, an 9% increase over the previous corresponding period1
▪ Recurring SaaS and transaction-based revenue of $1.1m with an ARPU of $16.94 as COVID19 impacted travel and expense activity during the period
▪ $2.25m in operating cash receipts (+24% vs 1HFY19) delivering an operating cash inflow of $78k (outflow of $191k in 1HFY19),
▪ $2.3m in annualised recurring SaaS and transaction-based revenue as at 31 December 2020
▪ Over $3.16m in total contract wins in FY21 to date
▪ Total user numbers increased 23% over the period to 148k driven by new contract


Outlook
Over the remainder of FY21 the company will focus on:

• Organic revenue growth through new agency wins, uplift in users and increase in average revenue per user (ARPU);
• Leverage existing relationships to cross sell products;
• Execute on the CardHero strategy and roll out the product across more customers;
• Expand our border client footprint; and
• Develop partner ecosystems to scale distribution into new markets.

The Company has a strong outlook for the remainder of the financial year with a significant pipeline of potential revenue growth via the implementation of our technology across State, Federal, Not-For-Profits and Corporate clients.

Look at the announcement headline, and then check the user number in the KPI table.
This is an accounting software company.
