FYI, Oxford Metrics has been picked as one of Simon Thompson's (of Investors Chronicle) bargain shares for 2024

and, silly me, KR sold 90k worth of shares too. Time to go, KR?That's confidence. G.

RNS CR, Exec.Dir transfering 6K shares and selling...

AIM such a damp squib at the moment . Pretty confident statement this early in the year . When they beat the expectations last year there was no hint of it in the AGM statement

[johndoe23] 19/12/2023 11:10

115p at least

[harrywilliam] 19/12/2023 10:05

Looking good today, next step 110p

[johndoe23] 16/12/2023 10:57

It's just a buy in auction, share price won't open at 108p Monday. Not sure why market makers do that

[redwing1] 15/12/2023 22:39

It's too small a trade to be too meaningful

[bradders190] 15/12/2023 21:25

Understand , but it's not meaningless it's a strong buy

[johndoe23] 15/12/2023 19:39

It's just a buy at 108 in auction. Meaningless

[bradders190] 15/12/2023 19:36

Late buys I guess

[lignum] 15/12/2023 18:15

What just happened ?

[johndoe23] 14/12/2023 08:11

Don't tell me this is going to drop back again

[nchanning] 13/12/2023 10:24

If I was in their position with a nice salary , some options and tiny equity stake I'd probably want to do some empire building too , it's way more fun than doing a tender offer . But best thing for shareholder value would be to return 20-30m by tender offer , which would still easily allow them to do one or two acquisitions a year

[nchanning] 13/12/2023 10:21

It's a shame there's still not a logical approach to capital allocation . They're simply going to do M & A because they want to do M & A . They couldn't find anything to buy in their industry so they thought 'what else can we buy ?' There should be a clear comparison drawn between the value available in buying back their own shares on a very reasonable rating and acquiring something else All that being said , the criteria for acquisitions 3-9m in revenue , IP rich , cash flow positive is a good pond to fish in where the likes of Judges have been very successful escaping competition with private equity . It still seems like the cash pile is far too large for this strategy

Presentation OK even though sound quality poor - markerless tech using ML looks interesting. Lots of potential. New CEO sounds solid and knows her stuff.

[nchanning] 08/12/2023 12:21

Big Aviva fund 1 billion plus hopefully they take a much bigger position

[johndoe23] 08/12/2023 11:51

Nice move now 100p plus coming

[johndoe23] 08/12/2023 08:09

Aviva increasing. Wonder who was selling

[faz] 06/12/2023 19:39

Cash of £64m against a £111m market cap, acquisition accretive in '25 and good solid recurring revenue. Way undervalued.

[johndoe23] 05/12/2023 13:27

Some have panicked regarding the smaller order book

[nchanning] 05/12/2023 11:47

Order books shrinking as companies have more confidence in the supply chain is being seen everywhere . Hence revenue upgrades with a shrinking order book

[battlebus2] 05/12/2023 09:59

Spooky Progressive say the order book is healthy and with confident management we increase our targets.

The directors are proposing a final dividend in respect of the financial year ended 30 September 2023 of 2.75 pence per share (2022: 2.50 pence per share) which will absorb an estimated £3,587,000 of shareholders' funds. This dividend will be paid on 14 February 2024 to shareholders who are on the register of members at close of business on 15 December 2023 subject to approval at the AGM. These dividends have not been accrued in these financial statements.

Order book is the obvious reason.
