Spire generated a massive £285m revenue from NHS work last year.
The NHS have been given a blank cheque and had a meeting with Spire Healthcare and other private providers asking for help to combat Covid-19.
I think it likely that Spire Healthcare's revenue from NHS work will increase substantially this year.

Spire Healthcare and TLY have a common non-exec, so I think it's likely some or maybe a lot of work could come TLY's way. They could also gain the capacity for any routine cancelled operations as well as cross selling of other services.




Spire Healthcare offers support as NHS asks for help with coronavirus

Spire owns 39 hospitals and eight clinics across England, Wales and Scotland

"Spire, which owns 39 hospitals and eight clinics, generated £285.7mln of revenue from NHS work last year from mostly surgical and outpatient care in its hospitals."






Is it a coincidence that one of the non-exec directors of TLY also happens to be a non-exec director of Spire Healthcare?


Anthony (Tony) Bourne, Non-Executive Director

TLY foundation set.
In the right place at the right time.

As you know STT, Totally is the only one I've kept and plan to sell up this week once they announce the highly likely contract win. Might get a chance to make up my losses, as I've not held them long and bought at 11.9p. However the contract is not new work, just continuation of what they already have so I expect the jump to be short lived.

space_bob,
"Loads of bargains"

Yes, including the ONLY one you hold shares in... ;-)




Totally's already a beneficiary of coronavirus


"The extra £5bn of NHS coronavirus funding declared yesterday will be a totally™ green light for this company, which has ambitions to become one of the UK™s leading out of hospital healthcare service providers.

Yesterday™s Budget was one of aiming at the prosperity of the economy as opposed to the previous government’s austerity packages.

There were many measures that Rishi Sunak has introduced of which I totally approve.

And the spend on the NHS is one of those.

But then it will also be totally™ well received by the £22m capitalised healthcare"

Loads of bargains carpet, but prices have much further to fall yet. This will be like 2008, but I'm hoping a much faster bounce back. In that crisis many companies fell to below their asset and even cash price. The hardest bit is working out the opportunity cost based on which will bounce back fastest. I've got a list of targets with buy in prices, but all I'm doing now is revising the prices down everyday and trying to resist buying anything for at least a month!

By stock with no debt X2+ dividend cover, won't go far wrong

[car1pet] 16/3/2020 15:16

Slightly off topic. I look at some of the big FTSE shares BAT BT Vodafone, LLoyds etc and comment that the yields at the moment are amazing. No company has yet reduced its dividend. Maybe they will but right now there are some very good yields to be had. I've not done the maths but some of those yields must be close to 10%.

[sikhthetech] 16/3/2020 13:26

"hows TLY?"

fallen on small trades... but you knew that already
;-)



The govn have given the NHS a blank chq.

1kiwi,
Can you show where Byot's accounts were qualified..

Their statement..FACT.


"The Directors have made every effort to resolve this matter to our auditorâ„¢s satisfaction, without success. Whilst it may have been possible eventually to obtain a suitable response, the length of time this may have required was indeterminate, and the Board took the decision that the interests of shareholders were best served by publishing the accounts with the consequential qualified audit opinion but resulting in the lifting in the suspension from trading on AIM. Since the year end we have transferred over £86,000 of the aggregate amount from the bank concerned to another commercial bank and intend to transfer the balance shortly"

BYOT's Accounts WERE Qualified, telling porkies now Pet are we? Poor sikhthetech, you must be broken today. Hows TLY?

[sikhthetech] 16/3/2020 12:59

Byot's accounts are not qualified.. Their shares were suspended last Sept because they couldn't publish their accounts on time...

They also have supply chain problems..
It's a pump/dump..

[meijiman] 16/3/2020 12:56

All the other corona stocks eg Tristel/Byotrol/Novacyt/seem to be on the up.

[markyt] 16/3/2020 12:30

Harsh for a company fighting the problem imo

[space_bob] 16/3/2020 10:10

They'll go to 20p when the army's cremating the elderly.

[tole] 16/3/2020 09:55

I've bought a few at this level

[cumnor] 16/3/2020 09:50

Has Zvi messed up (again) with his premature Covid 19 test-or just a forced seller?

[abeygale] 16/3/2020 09:30

Same will happen to NCYT. It is a no win game. Tests to be abandoned soon because of fraudsters going round knocking doors pretending to be testing for Coronavirus.

[car1pet] 16/3/2020 09:12

So much for the covid 19 test down 15.6% this morning. The market is down 7%
Aghhhh

This is the initiative Ador have had for almost 2 years now, they knew it was just a matter of time

[space_bob] 14/3/2020 16:53

I read an interview with the CEO the other day. It's in production ready for testing and they're exploring the commercialisation and mass production with a view to 2021. This wasn't this article (I can't find it now), but shows they're making it:

The test with involve using their Natlab kit which won't be on sale until next year.

Egens Biotechnology and BATM tie up could be bearing fruit.
