MIDAS SHARE TIPS: Spectra Systems helps 戦闘 偽の stamps and banknotes

It was bad enough to discover that Chinese counterfeiters have been flooding the UK with 偽の stamps, 原因(となる)ing 苦しめる to thousands of people and 商売/仕事s.?

High 安全: Cartor is one of two 商売/仕事s 世界的な that produce barcoded stamps

Now Cartor has been snapped up by Spectra Systems, an 目的(とする)-名簿(に載せる)/表(にあげる)d 会社/堅い run by Nabil Lawandy, an astrophysics professor turned entrepreneur .?

Based in Rhode Island, USA, Spectra is a cutting-辛勝する/優位 商売/仕事 in its own 権利 and the 株, at £2.17, should go far.

The group has developed a unique 過程 that 許すs central banks to (悪事,秘密などを)発見する whether banknotes are the 本物の article or not.?

Many of us 持つ/拘留する 公式文書,認めるs up to the light to see whether they have a watermark ? and shop-owners do likewise, 特に with large denominations. Spectra's 科学(工学)技術 is far more sophisticated.?

Known as a Level III Covert feature, it uses special 砕く 注入するd into the 公式文書,認めるs themselves and detectable only by 献身的な sensors.

Spectra makes both the sensors and the 砕くs and its (犯罪,病気などの)発見 system is already used by some of the largest central banks in the world.?

These 含む 世帯 指名するs whose 通貨s are used on an international basis, 同様に as banks 関心d about 明言する/公表する-sponsored テロリストs infiltrating their economies.

Winning new 顧客s can take ye ars. Central banks are understandably 用心深い so checks and balances are 広範囲にわたる. But Spectra has grown 終始一貫して since floating on the 株式市場 in 2011 and the next two to three years should see an acceleration in sales, 利益(をあげる)s and (株主への)配当s.?

Lawandy's biggest 顧客 has just 調印するd a major 契約, under which Spectra will 取って代わる old sensors with new models. The 事業/計画(する) should turbo-告発(する),告訴(する)/料金 results, 追加するing millions to the 底(に届く) line.

Then there is the Cartor 取得/買収. Cartor's 顧客s 含む more than 150 郵便の 会社/堅いs 世界的な. Today, only the UK and Germany use barcoded stamps but Cartor is 推定する/予想するd to 勝利,勝つ many new 顧客s over the next few years, all keen to 減ずる 詐欺. Cartor also 作品 on パスポートs and 義務 stamps on 製品s, such as whisky, for 輸出(する).

Now, as part of Spectra, the 会社/堅い is looking to move into plastic banknotes.

Two companies have cornered the market for these 公式文書,認めるs ? De La Rue in the UK and Canadian group, CCL. But Spectra and Cartor hope to 辛勝する/優位 their way in, by 会社にする/組み込むing the Level III Covert feature within the plastic itself.?

More than 60 central banks 世界的な have made the switch from paper to plastic. But the new 公式文書,認めるs are 攻撃を受けやすい to 詐欺, like their paper 前任者s, and Spectra is in 前進するd 会談 with several central banks that are 関心d about 安全.

The Cartor 取引,協定 is 推定する/予想するd to 加速する this 過程. Cartor specialises in high-安全 printing. Spectra specialises in 安全 features.?

Together, they make a formidable 軍隊, 特に as several central banks are keen to 追加する a third 供給者 to De La Rue and CCL's duopoly. There are その上の avenues for growth, selling Spectra's smart 詐欺-排除/予選 科学(工学)技術 to Cartor's 顧客s, 含むing 郵便の services.

Spectra joined 目的(とする) in 2011 and has 増加するd 収入s by almost 15 per cent 毎年 for の近くに to a 10年間. This year should be even better.

仲買人s believe sales will more than 二塁打 to $45 million (£36 million), as the sensor fitting 契約 kicks in. 利益(をあげる)s are 予測(する) to rise by 22 per cent to $10 million and the (株主への)配当 is 推定する/予想するd to climb 6 per cent to 12.3 cents (9.9p) although a special 支払い(額) could be on the cards either this year or next.

その上の large 増加するs in sales, 利益(をあげる)s and 株主 payouts are pencilled in for next year and 2026, too.

Midas 判決:?Spectra's 科学(工学)技術 is known as the last line of defence against those 意図 on defrauding countries, companies and 消費者s.?

The 商売/仕事 has been making 進歩 for years but the tie-up with Cartor should create a whole that is 意味ありげに bigger than the sum of its parts. With 明言する/公表する-sponsored テロ行為 on the rise and the world ますます dangerous, Spectra's 科学(工学)技術 is likely to be in 需要・要求する. At £2.17, the 株 are a buy.
