DDS14,
No tase yesterday or today so there is no buy back...

[dds14] 05/5/2022 07:04

Maybe they didn't start the buy back yesterday because it was Star Wars day..?

Francis Sellers Collins ForMemRS (born April 14, 1950) is an American physician-geneticist who discovered the genes associated with a number of diseases and led the Human Genome Project. He is the former director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland, from 17 August 2009 to 19 December 2021, serving under three presidents, and for over thirteen years.

FSE> An interesting visitor indeed. The US Government already spent over $.5Bn on this technology but were unsuccessful in doing so. Looks like ADOR have had success possibly with advanced algorithms and technology advances.

Thanks all.

I like companies with a PE under 15 and BVC is getting close to that.

assuming we can have a civil conversation about, well, anything, koomba, I would offer the obvious response that it doesn't matter much what shareholders might accept since the ONLY shareholder that counts on this front is Lombard and their controlling 30% stake. The irony there, of course, is that if a potential bidder can get anywhere near a price acceptable to Lombard, then a bid is that much more likely to succeed since getting irrevocables from a 30% shareholder would put a potential buyer in a very powerful position, even with Zvi sitting there at 20%.

Oakville - assuming your interest here is legitimate, just go back read the last 3 or 4 pages, especially fse's longer posts, and you will have a very comprehensive, if frustrating, answer(s) to your question. You can add a pretty ferocious recent sell-off among Israeli tech names, which hit BATM pretty hard yesterday (but from which it is at the time of my writing almost completely recovered; i.e, the TASE line went out at IS193 Thurs night, hit IS177 at its lows yesterday before closing at IS184 on over 1m shares, but has just traded up IS5 at IS189. We'll see where it closes, but it looks like a decent Israeli seller has been taken out). Suffice to say, I reject completely carpet's assessment of management's competence and then his needlessly oversimplified remedies. Zvi's possibly game-changing Ador presentation, which is discussed multiple times in the preceding pages here, still seems scheduled for this week, as does the initiation of a share buyback which has now been long delayed, but when implemented, should put a strong floor under the share price from here. This is the management team that, almost unique among small/mid cap tech stocks paid shareholders a material dividend last year and is on the verge of a 10% buyback this year, on top of creating and nurturing multiple growth businesses which have already generated positive comments from management on current trading versus expectations, and that appear to my eye virtually recession-proof just when the market is becoming obsessed with that.

With strong balance sheet is it a possible mbo ..Zvi might think being private a better option than having a listing that he does not believe recognises the prospects..would also give opportunity of tidying up the asset portfolio, losing non core .Could develop parts of the business through self finance and maybe limited outside investment then float off separately..in the US? All outside the public glare! What price would shareholders accept??

Oakville BATM has good products but is badly managed. The company needs a new senior management team or a takeover. I'm holding for the takeover.

[kooba] 03/5/2022 09:06

Doubled up..hopefully not good money after bad!But i figure something might be going on ..thats positive.The last leg of falls have been tracking markets but not so much volume pressure. Were higher than this 3 years ago.Repeat company needs to get on the front foot..if they believe all the messaging then the valuation does not reflect it.

[oakville] 03/5/2022 08:46

Always followed this company but only bought a few way back. Why is it struggling in the low 40p's

[fse] 02/5/2022 21:11

This is the system being unveiled at the Milken Conference.
January 31st interview with Zvi.regrading the ADOR RCA diagnostic platform.

[kooba] 02/5/2022 15:58

To be fair it's a diversion that was extremely well signposted and the company was given extra time to prepare a response if their protestations were fruitless ..there was no plan B though it seems ..even the buyback seems an afterthought and not yet being implemented. Maybe advise was that the LSE would back down..if so the advice was poor and the company needs to get on the front foot.

[the crypt] 02/5/2022 10:46

Kooba ...... don't be so surprised

[kooba] 02/5/2022 09:18

Rereading from a few months ago could corporate restructuring be a reason why the buy back is not ongoing? Sure Zvi miffed at LSE and will be looking at options..if they were progressing any moves discussed in article could make them restricted. Though if done right it could add significant value through de-merger ( or even sale of divisions) , timing might not be right in terms of general market mood just now an issue?https://en.globes.co.il/en/article-batm-time-for-a-split-1001401212
