Venn Life Sciences Share Discussion Threads

Is it not 30% of the combined businesses when the four transactions are completed. Which like you say should be worth a few million.

From now on, the markets will clearly see VENN's high and increasing profitability, which prior to the Innovenn sale was obscured by the expenses incurred in setting up and investing in Innovenn.

This is reflected in the new analyst forecasts of 2.35p EPS this year 2.63p EPS next year. It's easy to extrapolate a 30p-35p share price based on this alone.

On top of this, VENN will now have a 70% stake in Innovenn/Integumen. This could be worth a few £m in itself, especially post-IPO. VENN's current m/cap is still only £14m.

I agree about the low multiple Adam but surely one would expect the share price to reduce once Innovenn is sold off and shares distributed to VENN holders? So unless I've misunderstood the position, VENN shareholders are unlikely to be any better off if the sale proceeds. If shares from the sale of Innoven were a windfall, in other words if the share price was expected to be broadly the same post the sale, surely we would have seen more buying?

Still waiting to get back in at some point.

Totally agree Adam.

Look back at my notes from the investor presentation a few weeks ago - based on FY earnings, this is trading at a stupidly low multiple, and shares in the spin-off is further upside. This won't make 500% in a year but could certainly double

[investordave] 04/11/2016 12:09

That's not a bad idea Yump. Will give that some thought.

Investor Dave

You need to apply reverse psychology and post that you've sold when you haven't, which will double-bluff the share ;-)

I have the opposite problem with buying...

[cocker] 03/11/2016 18:42

Perhaps another director buy as the last one barely influenced the market!. However, nice to see share price moving back northwards & not hitting my 20p sell target.

[investordave] 03/11/2016 13:36

I wish I had the money to buy 200,000 but, no, it's not me :). Looking to buy back in soon though as the share price appears to have bottomed out at last. Once I sell a share it almost always goes up.

[harry vederci] 03/11/2016 13:31

is that Dave buying back in

[yump] 02/11/2016 16:12

I suggest anyone that is unnerved by shares that don't seem to be going anywhere, has a look at Gear4music since they floated. That's what happens when businesses break into growth. One minute they're 'unknown', next minute someone notices a profit figure.

Its the nature of investing in companies pre-maiden profit.

Some never make it of course, because the underlying business and its model are flawed and/or unproven. So it depends as always on how good a feel you have for the business and its apparent figures, overheads etc. etc.

[harry vederci] 02/11/2016 14:49

not revenue material but shows Venn are out there doing the business

[investordave] 02/11/2016 10:14

It would appear that there are still no buyers around.

[rivaldo] 02/11/2016 07:29

Good to see a sizeable maiden share purchase from the new Chairman.

Hardly surprising given VENN are on a single-digit P/E now. For the record, the latest forecasts from Hybridan are:

this year : 2.35p EPS
next year : 2.63p EPS

[investordave] 02/11/2016 07:23

It might help market sentiment a little bit I suppose.

[masurenguy] 02/11/2016 07:18

New chairman invests £50K to buy 230,000 shares under 22p. Every little helps, I guess!

[investordave] 01/11/2016 13:04

Perhaps I should have said showing signs of whimpering back to life.

[shrout] 31/10/2016 17:48

what kind of beast would Venn be? atm it feels a bit like a dog that's forever chasing its own tail.

[investordave] 31/10/2016 15:22

Is it my imagination or is the beast that is Venn Life stirring again? It usually happens once I've sold up.

[harry vederci] 26/10/2016 13:58

nothing has changed as far as I'm concerned - except the sp

they could have dealt with innovenn expectations better, but I'm leaving this one to run

[cocker] 26/10/2016 13:00

At this rate I wont be far behind Dave.

[investordave] 26/10/2016 09:03

Only 21p to sell now. I'm out. Good luck to any holders left.

[battlebus2] 20/10/2016 18:44

Great post GHF..
