Kromek Share Discussion Threads

There is added upside here as it could well become a target for a buyout.

The situation here is a mirror image of that at Xchanging which today leapt to 1.68 from 1.0 on several bids and the start of a bidding war.


Kromek has just secured top quality top drawer chairman and has £11 mill cash
and a strong order pipeline in a fast growing business.

Its set fair to rise even without any bid emerging but a bid is highly possible
as it wont be priced at this level for much longer imo.

Kromek's X-ray success

IP-backed small cap's future looks bright

Extensively used by hospitals ,Durham University spin-out Kromek aims to take x-ray technology into new markets using its own patent protected Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT) crystal technology.
This is s high risk play that will not suit every investor but we believe that for those willing to roll the dice there is substantial growth here.
Consensus share price targets are pitched north of 43p implying nearly 60% upside.

The time looks right given the depressed share price and what we believe could be a major boardroom appointment coup.
The £43 m ill company has signed up Sir Peter Williams as its non-executive chairman, a man who has successfully walked the tightrope between academia and commercial markets for decades, including as a UK goverment adviser on science and education policy and as a former chief executive officer (CEO) of Oxford Instruments the world class science and research kit and tools maker.

The appointment implies sound council at the helm of this emerging business, with the political and corporate clout to help the company speed along its commercial sales execution.
Kromek is identifying medical, security screening , homeland security and nuclear radiation detection markets with colour imaging equipment that is affordable , easy to use and that gives instant results.

Perhaps one of the first tasks of the new Chairman may or may not be to consider finding a new Chief Executive to replace the current incumbent.

In my opinion, the Company got off to a very bad start for failing almost immediately to deliver on the timing/delivery/pipeline of contracts which it had much spoken about at/during/before and after the IPO.

It appears to me that this has dented ongoing credibility in the Company enormously.

I personally find myself in a position of enthusiastically and urgently reaching for the salt cellar every time I read announcements by the Company.

The share price performance since IPO speaks volumes and is wholly unacceptable in my opinion.


ALL IMO> DYOR.

This bulletin board is intended for the discussion of Kromek, not the varying standards of English in use nowadays.

If anyone is expecting or looking for best grammar, spelling, syntax and elegantly constructed sentences, they are looking in entirely the wrong place.

ADVFN is open to everyone from all educational or cultural backgrounds and geographical locations. Do not assume that all posters are either located in the UK or that English is their first language.

This is the web. The most open communication forum ever conceived.

One has to be prepared to accept that or not participate in the first instance.

Whilst Oxford English is wonderful and desirable, it is plain bad form to mock someone else's level of English or to make them feel embarrassed or uncomfortable about it.

cervin1 is correct if that's the level of education in this Country, what hope have we got for the future.!!!

It's so boring and tedious when people find fault with others' spelling.

His point about Miton is excellent.

At least he offers an opinion and is communicating an interesting thought.

I believe it would be prudent for you to find something worthwhile or interesting to say rather than worrying about someone else's use of language.

[cervin1] 30/8/2015 20:04

I believe it would be prudent for you brush up on you spelling, rather than worrying if Miton are holding.

[ali47fish] 28/8/2015 14:50

[insideryou] 12/8/2015 13:07

Did u learn and short this down to the placing... Like taking candy from a baby. . Seldom does a share not get down within spitting distance of its placing on aim.

[insideryou] 04/8/2015 08:35

now 29 and will drift towards its placing as they all do, as those that can position themselves into positions of guaranteed money making

[ali47fish] 31/7/2015 09:28

but the share price is already at 35p so how does this work with edison giving a tp which has already bee reached- the shares are up 6pc today!

[nigelmoat] 30/7/2015 09:47

surprise surprise

Note the recent contract awards RNS £1m - delivery over 24 months hence the need for working capital.

[zipstuck] 24/6/2015 13:44

My guess is a rights with results

[hybrasil] 24/6/2015 12:07

Why is amphion up?

[zipstuck] 24/6/2015 10:17

Chairman resigns

Cash not an issue £3m rollover facility with HSBC at what interest rate to cover??

[p1nkfish] 24/6/2015 07:57

lastly:

1) amphion mentioned expectations for kmk a week or 2 back - very positive. something going on only a 10%+ holder may have wind of?

2) share price rise convincingly since at volume. volume preceeds price.

3) all just prior to BoD meeting on July 1st.

may just be a re-rating or is there something to be announced?

[p1nkfish] 24/6/2015 07:53

if it breaks 55 then can run to 65.

A company like e2V would make an interesting suitor.

[p1nkfish] 24/6/2015 07:43

whispers?

they have some very useful capabilities and reminded me of Andor - different segment but a capable group in a niche that will only grow. Andor were taken out by Ox Inst.

take-out certainly not impossible by a materials, security or medical sys group.
