Seymour Pierce
LONDON, February 13 (newratings.com) - Analyst Derek Brown of Seymour Pierce upgrades Sopheon Plc (ticker: TXB) from "hold" to "buy."
In a research note published yesterday, the analyst mentions that the company’s mid-January trading statement reaffirmed that FY06 sales would be in-line with the estimates.
Growth in Sopheon’s FY06 license sales bodes well for future service, maintenance and consulting revenues, leading to a further improvement in the company’s earnings quality, the analyst says.
Given its recent contract wins, Sopheon is considered as a potentially attractive takeover candidate, Seymour Pierce adds.

Voortschreidend inzicht? Of heeft hij het de eerste of de tweede keer niet goed geciteerd?
Noot: Volgens ondergetekende bedoeld hij bij beide berichten hetzelfde, namelijk dat Sopheon een aantrekkelijke overname candidaat is, of .....zie ik dat niet goed?
