Sdi Share Discussion Threads

Everyone has a pair battlebus which we choose to wear often at just the wrong moment.I know we go back a fair way with STL and sluggish (at best) might describe its performance over recent years.
As Bob Dylan says though,

Well done on your Stilo Mudbath, should have taken the blinkers off...

[mudbath] 20/5/2015 19:23

Interesting,hastings,is something of an understatement imo.
The RNS arrived as forecast with serious levels of share turnover ensuing.
I look forward to your contributing to the STL thread.
Cheers,mudbath.

(Visitors to the SDI thread are certainly multiplying ! Further improvement in the share price performance is looking assured imo )

Moving higher today and nice to see a buy of 100k :))

Hi Mudpath, will take a look, always interested in new subjects.As for SDI, it is apparent that there had been operational/management issues, which appear to have been addressed, with a more business focused approach now in place to drive all aspects forward.The company really should be able to grow sales above the £7m mark now and deliver pre-tax profits of circa £500-£600k within the next year or two, which would then translate into decent EPS figures.Another acquisition should also be on the cards.Will be interesting to see what FinnCap come up with in a new note due fairly soon.

battlebus2.
You have got to believe it.
Watch out for an RNS next week regarding new clients and huge upward profit revision.
Its game on,with multiple multiples of potential bagging just waiting for you.
Forget the rest,Stilo is best !
Sorry about the O/T,but that concludes matters.

[battlebus2] 15/5/2015 09:07

Your not still pushing that old Stilo are you :))

I carried out a fair bit of research on SDI in late 2014 and as a result felt pretty optimistic over their future prospects.The flat results therefore came as a surprise.
Nevertheless,as the TU demonstrates,the future does look much more promising.
So much so that I believe that the share price remains behind the curve.
For me, ProReveal remains the jewel in the SDI crown,although its time in the sun still lies ahead.

If you want to research a REALLY interesting company,have a look at Stilo(STL).
Not much to look at on paper,yet the reality is staggeringly different.
I went to the AGM yesterday.The path for this and future years profitability is almost vertical with very significant positive news flow due.
Imo,the most exciting company on AIM.

Great to read, had my heart in my mouth this morning. There's a lot of lucky folk on the market :))

[hastings] 14/5/2015 07:19

Yes, out a bit earlier than I thought and welcome too, nice update with the turning the group around, seemingly well on track.

[timbo003] 14/5/2015 07:09

indeed bb2, someone was very "lucky" yesterday, especially given the better than expected trading update announced this morning!

[battlebus2] 13/5/2015 19:16

Lucky buyer at 7p this morning..

[hastings] 13/5/2015 15:09

Agreed Mudpath and the recent retrace, prior to today effectively valued the business at very little.TU should be announced sometime in the next couple of weeks.Hopefully a continuation of the various parts being profitable, which would put SDI on track for decent full year performance.

[mudbath] 13/5/2015 13:52

Thanks hastings.
With reoganisations,reverse takeovers and product re-engineering behind us (for the time being),the SDI Directorate should now be able to concentrate on their key task of ensuring that increasing levels of EBITA are now generated.

With a trading update due,any return to profitability would surely signal a rise in the share price,which looks way too low anyway at just 7 pence,imo.

[hastings] 30/3/2015 21:12

I think it is the usual case of people just getting bored and moving on BB.
Company has apparently been trading profitably since the results,so unless there is a marked downturn in the next few months, SDI should be returning as forecast,
a pre-tax profit.

If that is the case and it is somewhere near Broker expectations then the shares are, given the mkt cap on the cheap side.

Past track record understandably leaves questions, but they appear to recognize that and believe the business can be taken forward.

May be of some interest, from page 63.

[battlebus2] 30/3/2015 16:34

Disappointing to see these fall right back to results day price, keeping faith for now...

[battlebus2] 17/2/2015 13:10

It wont take too much to turn these profitable again so sticking with it.

[hastings] 17/2/2015 12:59

Agreed that it has been woeful bookbroker, so it should be interesting to see what transpires later in the year.

[bookbroker] 17/2/2015 10:32

Woeful record of achievement in living up to investor expectations, Pro-reveal was meant to be the elephant in the room, that has been marginalised by the competition, raising cash is simply to enable the directors to keep their jobs, they are not going to work for F/all!

[hastings] 17/2/2015 10:21

If this time they do actually hit full year forecast numbers and perhaps secure another bolt-on acquisition, then they could surprise.

[battlebus2] 16/2/2015 16:33

Good to see these recovering lost ground, expecting 15p again at some point.

[hastings] 14/2/2015 11:56

Brief comment on recent placing.

[battlebus2] 12/2/2015 12:01

Indeed, could they be buys i wonder.

[hastings] 12/2/2015 10:58

Some hefty trades gone through this morning.
