Nice comment from Techinvest in their January issue:

"Touch sensor specialist Zytronic (390p) announced a solid set of results for the year to 30 September 2015, highlighting a 13% jump in revenue to £21.3m and a 39% increase in profit before tax to £4.5m. Gross margin improved 41.9% from 36.6%. Basic earnings per share rose to 24.7p from 19.6p a year earlier.

Zytronic is a developer of capacitive touch echnology used in interactive displays such as information kiosks, ATMs, ticketing and gaming machines. Applications are also found in military, computing, telecoms and medical
device sectors. During the year, Zytronic sold 149,000 embedded touch sensor units, up from 139,000 in FY2014.

The Company is heavily export focussed, with 93% of revenues derived overseas. The largest area of export growth was Asia Pacific, in particular South Korea, which was mostly for the gaming sector.

The Company is highly cash generative and cash from operating activities was £4.9m for the year. Net cash ended at £9.8m (64p per share). House broker N+1 Singer expects pre tax profit of £4.7m for the current year. This corresponds to earnings per share of 25.2p."

Does anyone have, and can they post, a breakdown of analyst forecasts for 2016? TMF is showing 25.5p EPS and 12.05p divi which both look very low so wondered whether there's an old forecast in there dragging it down
Thanks

"Zytronic showcasing touch digital signage lineup at ISE16
Jan. 21, 2016

Zytronic, the manufacturer and developer of Projected Capacitive Technology touchscreens, said it will be "raising the bar on interactive digital signage" at this year's ISE in Amsterdam, showing a massive 85-inch 4K touch screen, a new curved multitouch kiosk and demonstrating a new object recognition function for touch tables.....

....."For many applications, the fact that projected capacitive touch technology ignores non-conductive objects contacting the surface is a definite advantage," said Ian Crosby, sales and marketing director for Zytronic. "However, some retail uses would benefit from the touchscreen recognizing specific objects placed upon its surface — and this is something that we are now able to offer."

Durable touch technology withstands good luck traditionsTuesday 19th January 2016 11:29amDiamond rings may bring luck to players – but not to console touchscreens The ritual of kissing your diamond ring and touching it to the display before you play is thought to bring luck to slot machine players in some countries – but doesn't do much for the touchscreens on the games. Global Monitor, Mexico's leading specialist supplier of screens to the casino game cabinet industry, has standardised on 23" Zytronic Projected Capacitive Technology (PCT™) touch screens for game manufacturer International Gold Club, to overcome an issue with scratched touchscreens. Juan Manuel Sanchez Ramirez of Global Monitor, explains, "Women in Mexico often kiss their diamond rings and touch them to the screens for luck. This tradition was quickly scratching the surface capacitive touch sensors and causing them to fail." Global Monitor specialises in the development and integration of touch displays for Mexico's top five casino organisations, suppling screens, associated components and digital signage technologies. Faced with this issue, International Gold Club sought help from Ramirez who decided to look beyond his traditional supplier base, and identified Zytronic PCT touch sensors as a good alternative that would overcome the issue. Zytronic sensors sit behind a 4mm thick toughened glass panel and are thus unaffected by on-screen scratches. He comments, "Over the last six months, we have installed over 300 screens with Zytronic PCT touch overlays. The technology is extremely fast and accurate, and best of all we've had no failures due to scratches. Zytronic technology has provided a durable and reliable solution that allows players to continue their beloved ritual." In addition to being well protected, Zytronic's touch sensors are also drift-free and require no recalibration, consequently lowering maintenance time and cost while offering a fast, accurate response time of less than 10ms.  "Global Monitor's problem was unusual, but their success with our touch sensors shows again how Zytronic PCT touch technology can be relied on in applications where other technologies fail. In addition to being better protected, our sensors offer a better touch experience with a faster, more accurate response," said Ian Crosby, Sales and Marketing Director, Zytronic.- See more at:

Had a little top-up at 349 this morning. Stripping out cash of 63p ps, this is trading on just over 11 times earnings, with a 3.8% dividend. Despite what 'BearBull' might think, feel that's far from over-valued.

Weak holders will generally use any excuse to press the sell button. directors selling options, and brief write-up in the IC being the excuse here.

I Think weak PI`s should stick to bingo, rather than investing ?

Yes I spotted that and it gave me a wry smile as I hold Renew!

I suppose the only difference at Renew is that Directors hold rather more shares but it does give me pause for thought ..

Indeed - the RNWH directors did exactly the same almost a year ago, exercising options and selling shares at 271p. RNWH's share price is now 386p.

ZYT should do just as well.

Hi rhomboid

Yes, I agree that in many cases some shares are retained but with the majority having to be sold to meet acquisition costs and tax bills. However, I do see low cost options exercised and I find it difficult sometimes to relate the cash taken with the costs that may be incurred. The problem is that one then has to start searching through the Annnual Reports to get to the bottom of what has happened. Vislink, in which I held shares, is the recent classic of director's helping themselves with a very favourable scheme irrespective of whether at the end of the day they hoped to eventually take mostly cash or retain shares. I suppose I have a large degree of scepticism regarding company directors although fortunately not Zytronic's. I will look out for specific examples when they arise within my own investments.

Current fall looks like a classic tree shake. 350p top up time I reckon.

Hi Salchow

I think you're mistaken, you'll normally see enough sold to offset any tax liability and over time directors stakes increase as a result. This is especially so in growth companies like Zytronic.

If you got any examples akin to what happens at Zytronic fire away

I can't understand anyone saying that they don't normally see directors cashing in options immediately on vesting. If you look through directors dealings on most companies this is precisely what normally happens even on the largest FT100 companies.

Hi Rivaldo all good points but I cannot think of any other company where this pattern of both CEO and FD cashing in options immediately on vesting exists, bear in mind from this year in addition to the 50% bonus they received they'll also possibly earn 60 & 45% Long term bonuses as well, they also hold less stock than I've come to expect as "skin in the game" in other companies I invest in. Put it this way I'd feel uneasy with my modest stake being more than the FD and potentially the CEO as well!

I like the company and got a good feeling after Paul Scott's interview but this makes me hesitate as I don't understand the logic , £190k per annum is comparatively big bucks where Zytronic are based IMHO ...but I'm not denying the value being created by the Mgt.

So any other examples welcome!

Cheers

Good point rivaldo re the liquidity.

Worth reading the recent results again and the positive statements.With a trading update due next month would they dare sell into bad news?

I completely agree with kalkanite's post 1059 (though ZYT certainly isn't my largest holding!).

It's surprising to me that anyone would care about two directors selling what are really very small amounts of shares arising from options when the sums concerned - especially net of tax - are so minimal, especially in the context of (a) ZYT's very low base salaries, (b) one of them being the FD, who is generally always the lowest-paid exec, and (c) ZYT is also a very thinly traded share, so the timing has to be right (i.e post good results) to actually effect even these relatively small transactions.

The smoke signals from ZYT continue to be extremely positive - just read the expansion news from this week.
