Just thinking of the discounted price this is trading at and interested in some of the risks with the war on Hamas will bring.
I understand the HQ of BATM is in Hod Hasharon just North of Tel Aviv.
Does anyone know how many employees work in Israel and how many in US & Europe and elsewhere?
This war could last many years and involve many more than the 300,000 reservists currently called up. If many more Israelis are called up will this potentially impact BATM operations?
Telco systems and Edgility are a BATM company based in Foxborough Massachusetts. Adaltis they own is in Rome Italy and Celitron is in Hungary. BATM issued a statement on Oct 9th that basically said that "it does not expect the tragic recent developments in Israel to have a material impact on trading"
Thats said obviously the events in Israel could effect all of us indirectly.
It's a very good question. I have tracked BVC for a long time and I was thinking of investing after that latest RNS. But I am quite risk averse and the current affairs have made me too nervous to enter yet.
Pedrobull, the only business of BATM's located in Israel is the government cyber contract. Which given recently developments is more likely to expand than to halt operations for employees to be called up for national service. As Incontext mentioned, the rest of BATM's business is located in US, Italy and Hungary. From an operational standpoint it is not something to be worried about!
BATM's business operations across different countries definitely helps mitigate any potential disruptions that might arise from national service requirements in Israel. Of course the tragic events unfolding are going to negatively affect the share price but as the statement they put out suggests, it wont have an effect on trading. Alwaysone, personally i think this might be a good time to buy in from an investors stand point in order to buy in cheap, i am definitely averaging down. Hopefully these tragic events resolve soon and we can enjoy some positive price action!
Cheers guys appreciate the info and will look to add a few.
This war is not ending anytime soon sadly and like the war in Ukraine will probably escalate.
Luckily there are no nuclear weapons in the mid east.

Israel has an estimated 80- 400 N Warheads in their possession with several methods of delivery. (source wikipedia)
After watching what the IDF are doing in Gaza on Al Jazeera I will be avoiding buying any Israeli stocks.
This war is not ending anytime soon and the bombing of the Iranian embassy in Syria yesterday is a serious escalation
The issue is with Iran. Hamas forcibly removed the Palestinian government in Gaza. Red Sea shipping routes are inoperable thanks to Iran. Trouble in Syria and Lebanon again Iran. Problems in Iraq well that would be Iran again. Of course Ukraine is hardly happy about the Iran component. Stop blaming Israel when it's clear to all what the "actual" problem is here.
Absolutely agree. When are we in the west going to deal with Iran as the terrorist state it is.
The Israeli Defence Force (IDF) is a trigger happy organisation.
Watch Al Jazeera channel 622 on Virgin Media (the only media left in Gaza).
Yesterday the World Central Kitchen aid workers were targeted with at least two airstrikes as the group was travelling in two armoured vehicles branded with the World Central Kitchen (WCK) charity’s logo. They had shared their plans and locations with the IDF for safe passage.
However before that I saw 4 young men walking unarmed through the bombed out wasteland, the IDF treats this as kill zones and dropped a bomb on them.
Also two unarmed men walking on a beach separately, one waving a white flag/rag, he was shot by a sniper and his and the other body bulldozed into the ground as shown on TV.
This may only end when the US stops arming Israel.
Probably only after Israel nuke Iran, Lebanon and Syria though.
Why do you keep posting news that is nothing to do with this company? Most people are fully aware of what is going on. Just because the company is based in Israel doesn't mean its them dropping bombs.
