IDOX (AIM:IDOX)

Simply Wall St Growth Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Overview: IDOX plc, with a market cap of £279.11 million, provides software and services for managing local government and other organizations across the United Kingdom, the United States, Europe, and internationally through its subsidiaries.

Operations: IDOX generates revenue primarily through three segments: Assets (£14.75 million), Communities (COMM) (£14.99 million), and Land Property & Public Protection (LPPP) (£50.91 million). The company offers software and services aimed at local government management and other organizations across various regions, including the UK, US, Europe, and internationally.

IDOX, a tech company in the UK, is forecasted to see its earnings grow at an impressive 23.9% per year over the next three years, outpacing the UK market's average of 14.3%. Despite a recent -6.4% dip in earnings growth compared to the industry average of 19.9%, IDOX's revenue is expected to increase by 7.4% annually, faster than the UK's overall market growth rate of 3.7%. The firm has also been investing significantly in R&D, with expenses totaling £15 million last year, underscoring its commitment to innovation and future growth potential. Recent leadership changes include appointing Mark Milner as a Non-Executive Director; his extensive experience with turnarounds and digital strategies will likely benefit IDOX’s strategic goals moving forward. The company's half-year results showed sales rising from £35.78 million to £43.15 million year-over-year, though net income slightly decreased from £3.34 million to £3.25 million during this period—reflecting strong top-line performance but highlighting areas for operational efficiency improvements.
