Four cyberspace stars you cannot afford to overlook

Four cyberspace stars you cannot afford to overlook By Victor Hill The internet revolution began more than 20 years ago. And yet not a month goes by without news of new internet-based businesses threatening to disrupt traditional business models. Turning my telescope back towards the firmament of cyberspace, I perceive a small cluster of twinkling stars – and the presence of a possible black hole… This is a star formed even before the internet was born but which is thriving in the current technology boom. In the late 1970s Brian Reynolds and Paul O'Grady set up what we would now call a "tech company" in Notting Hill, London. They found a way by which companies could run their old, giant "mainframe" computers on the newer "microcomputers" that had just been delivered by companies such as Hewlett Packard and IBM. By last month the company they founded, Micro Focus (LON:MCRO), was turning over nearly £1 billion a year and was able to buy the software arm of computer giant Hewlett Packard Enterprises (NYSE:HPE) for £6.6 billion.

Profits before tax dropped from £34 million to £32.9 million. Rental income on the group's portfolio rose by 165%, but this still constitutes a relatively small portion of total revenues. The shares dropped by 2.18% to 61.63p. Printing firm Grafenia (GRA) saw its shares plunge 11.11% to 9p after it published an update discussing the six months to 30th September. Intense competition in the sector means that trading in recent months has been below the same period of 2015 and, despite September edging closer to budgeted levels, there will need to be significant improvements in trading during the second half for the firm to hit its targets.
