KRM22 (KRM) : Corp
New partnership agreement
Key data
- Share price (p) 76.5
- Target price (p) 100.0
- Market cap (£m) 14.0
- Enterprise value (£m) 11.8
KRM22 has announced a further partnership agreement, with Neotas Ltd, allowing distribution of Neotas’s enhanced due diligence application over KRM22’s Global Risk Platform (GRP). Neotas has been developed to complement existing processes following regulatory changes with regard to risk and guidelines including SMCR and AML – Neotas searches all open web sources such as social media platforms, chatrooms, legal records and deep and dark web sources. In addressing operational risk and reputational risk for vital functions such as hiring processes and background checks (including politically exposed persons), KRM22 has added yet further breadth to the GRP, adding due diligence and online reputational screening. We look forward to further newsflow as the attraction of the GRP continues to grow as it extends to become a single source for risk management solutions in capital markets. Target 100p reiterated.

Quartix (QTX) : Corp
Strong H1 Fleet performance sees revenue upgrade
Key data
- Share price (p) 255.0
- Target price (p) 425.0
- Market cap (£m) 122.0
- Enterprise value (£m) 115.2
The leading supplier of subscription-based vehicle tracking systems has enjoyed a strong H1 performance driven by the Fleet operation, which has seen vehicles under subscription rise 11%, from 123k in January to 137k by the end of June; new telematics installations are currently running 45% ahead of last year. Pleasingly, the Fleet growth is coming from all regions and encouraging results from the new markets, offsetting some of the continuing decline in Insurance business. Due to Insurance, H1 results will be down on LY as flagged, but are ahead of forecasts. We are thus upgrading our FY revenue expectations but leave the earnings unchanged in anticipation of additional growth investment.
