The company has secured
a significant new three-year contract to provide secure payment services to one of the world's largest multi-media retailers (the "Client"), broadcasting to over 200 million homes worldwide. Nik Philpot, CEO of Eckoh, commented:
"I am delighted to announce this major new contract for our Haloh payment solution. Our payment clients' key goal is to protect their customer data without compromising customer experience. With recent high-profile data breaches highlighting the significant risks organisations take if they do not secure data
effectively, we would expect to see demand for our technology only increase. To this end, we continue to evolve our products by developing the latest security systems and to make them flexible enough to accommodate the most challenging IT environments. Our latest tokenisation solution meets these needs exactly and we are excited that this household brand is the latest company to adopt it." It would appear to me that Eckoh are in the right place at the right time. It's a company that I mentioned only recently:-

What's the current investment case for Eckoh though?
Clearly the company looks like it will continue to grow for some time to come, and for momentum traders there is a good chance that the share price will break out this morning and reach new highs? We shall see.
On fundamentals, the valuation looks a little rich for me with the forward p/e ratios for 2016 and 2017 at 36 and 27 respectively. However, further contract wins and broker upgrades may bring these figures down considerably of course.
The balance sheet is sound with modest debt, and the company pays a small dividend. The company is cash generative.
Interesting company to research further, but I won't be investing at the current price.
