“We
retain our focus on the US which is definitely our number one strategic
goal,” says Nik Philpot, chief executive of Eckoh PLC (LON:ECK). The
boss of the secure payments and customer contact systems says he is
“very confident” about making more multi-million US dollar deals with
enterprise customers particularly as the market was “heating up nicely”
and momentum building.
Philpot is seeing good progress from
every part of the group particularly in the US. “There’s huge
opportunity for us there. It’s virtually a virgin market. There’s
virtually no competition and corporations are slowly waking up to the
fact that they need to do more to protect their customers.”
Eckoh’s
biggest hurdle is educating US companies about the importance of secure
payments. “The US’s approach to credit card security is wholly
different”, says Philpot. "It’s many years behind Europe so they are in
catch up mode.“

In
Caracas, Venezuela groups of protesters chanting, "We want food!"
gathered near the presidential palace, as security forces started firing
rounds of tear gas. President Nicolas Maduro has been under intense
pressure as the economic conditions worsen in his country of 30 million
people. One woman told a reporter, "There's no more food in the shops
and supermarkets. We're hungry and we're tired." Venezuelans are
suffering from shortages of basic goods like milk and flour, despite
being a country with the world's largest oil reserves. President Maduro
blames the unrest on the fall in global oil prices. Government officials
tried to reassure citizens that "things will improve in the next few
weeks." http://feeds.reuters.com/~r/reuters/t...

Shares
of Apple are in the spotlight on Thursday following a downgrade from
Goldman Sachs. Goldman is cutting its price target and profit estimates
for 2016. Goldman says it is trimming Apple's estimates to reflect lower
growth expectations for the smartphone industry. Analysts lowered
iPhone unit forecasts to 211 million for this year, that's down from 212
million. For 2016, earnings estimates were revised downward by a penny
to $8.39 a share, but that's still $0.10 a share above the consensus
estimates. Goldman also cut profit expectations for 2017 and 2018. The
firm lowered its price target for the shares for the year to $124 from
$136. In the note, the analysts said the demand environment in China is
the most significant new risk.
