hi prabhakar, I believe there main investment is into developing exchanges, so thats where there main revenue should come from. However, these have long gestation period of 2-4 years so it will take soe time to reflect in the balance sheet. Since you said that FT is not great as a technology provider, can you tell us about a listed company which you feel is the best as a technology service provider. so that we can start researching on that one.

There is no other listed company in this space.Technology is increasingly becoming a commodity - any company offering niche technology services to a particular industry can quickly be replaced by another better one at not a very high cost.
I am personally not bullish on midcap IT.As a sector it might do well but picking up individual companies in this sector is fraught with uncertainties.

I work in the IT dept of a IB and we have FT as a vendor for one of India related business. They are pretty bad when it comes to technology. I felt there forte was finance and not technology.

Good stocks can go down for no reason. Bad stocks can go up for no reason.

Mohit,
These are just my opinions based on my interactions with them. These are solely based on technology and the kind of expertise their engineers showed. One should not construe this and assume FT is in a bad business.

MCX has filed for the IPO. Very soon it will get listed and we can expect a good valuation. I think we should have a re look ar FT with this new event. Though stock has run up in last couple of months, with the MCX IPO, upside is still open I think.

Hi Guys...any idea how the NSEL fiasco will affect Financial Technologies? I understand NSEL is 99.9% owned by FT, but does that mean that FT is liable for all the losses at NSEL and has to eventually pay up? Or is the liability limited to the paid-up capital of NSEL?
