car1pet 16819 - 100% agree with you that the 3,264,827 block listing had a detrimental affect on the share price yesterday. Usually the BATM big cheeses exercise 100,000 share options now and again but I have not seen such a large multiple employee block listing in many years.

amt 16820 - The Covid run is far from over. Sure the R rate is declining in many countries but you can be damn sure each country is making sure it is well prepared for a possible (probable?) 2nd wave.

And as FSE always stresses, there are many strings to BATMs bow and many of them address infectious diseases that world governments are now very much educated on and will be making huge investments to prevent a similar pandemic in the future.

crazy valuation so have been shorting from 100p & new target is 60p

[markyt] 27/5/2020 22:16

agree probably seasonal just like common cold flu etc so trust it's coming back next winter maybe ten fold unless a vaccine/drug to help situation obviously and of course plenty of testing too far from over as stated

I doubt it. I suspect the Covid run is over. The rest of the market is recovering as rapidly as the virus is declining in Europe. Makes me think it may be a seasonal virus so would expect the Southern Hemisphere to get worse.

3.2m shares were added this morning in a block listing. This is a similar volume to today's trades. Maybe all the owners cashed in their chips today. Maybe now they have been absorbed tomorrow will see a bounce towards 90p

And when further news comes in ??

[emdek] 27/5/2020 17:47

homeboy, in early 2019 batm secured a $30m investment from new investors to provide the funding for the commercialization of its molecular biology diagnostics joint venture business, Ador Diagnostics. Its called spreading the risk. More investment monies to batm by the end of the year subject to certain milestones being achieve. what don't you like about this?

Look at the bigger picture reference ventilators.Most of the world was under resourced with this equipment.Some of the countries like the UK has either received or have orders in place.Some of the smaller nations still are under resourced and will need machines.The number of ventillators produced this year has quadrupled and the demand is still there.I expect follow up orders even if it is not from the richer nations

[homeboy] 27/5/2020 16:40

didn't this lot sell off a chunk of one of their so called high growth medical divisions to raise money, not a wise move, now they're left with a small non controlling stake in that, what's the point

[markyt] 27/5/2020 16:19

And I thought investors looked to the future theres a winter coming like no other mate best to not be caught with your pants down as they say like they already have been this spring might even save your life u never know your luck

[tonytyke] 27/5/2020 16:01

BATM Advanced Communications Limited

("BATM" or "the Group")

Block Listing Application

BATM (LSE: BVC; TASE: BVC), a leading provider of real-time technologies for networking solutions and medical laboratory systems, announces that an application has been made to the London Stock Exchange ("LSE") for a block listing of 3,264,827 ordinary shares of 0.01 NIS each in the Group ("Ordinary Shares") to be admitted to the Official List and to trading on the LSE's market for listed securities ("Admission").

The Ordinary Shares that are being reserved under this block listing will be issued and allotted to satisfy the exercise of share options pursuant to the Group's 2004 Employee Share Option Plan.

It is expected that Admission will become effective at 8.00am BST on 27 May 2020. These Ordinary Shares will, when issued, rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares of the Group.

Depends on the company. This is a core holding for me so I have a % I hold onto longer term then a trading portion. BATM is different from a lot of companies insofar as they make a profit, have money in the Bank and also have developed almost everything in house without going to shareholders for extra funds.
Talking of dilution there were extra shares added see block listing advice in header news, thats what has set it back IMO.
They are not overvalued as I said a while back I value them @85p without the Covid19 nonsense.

[emdek] 27/5/2020 15:25

Should never get emotional and buy more until it bottoms...use Technical analysis like even price above simple 8MA to add more. Best is to track the price and buy more when previous daily high is broken.

[fse] 27/5/2020 15:20

We were always going to see some profit taking after the rise. Happy to accumulate under 85p.

[car1pet] 27/5/2020 15:12

With this volume today maybe there will be an RNS on who has sold.Lombard odier bought quite a few on the way up maybe it is taking some profits.

[emdek] 27/5/2020 15:10

Got first class product but lack of news re deals and tie up from non business minded scientist in charge of the company is affecting the the share price, meantime mm busy collecting the stock! I m out till momentum is back!

[volsung] 27/5/2020 14:52

Bought a few more at 83.76
Probably will add lower

[1sjb] 27/5/2020 14:49

Big mistake - this company is headed by bright people who have further tricks up their sleeves . They have proven they can anticipate what will be needed!

[amt] 27/5/2020 14:44

I think its people who needed money to buy Aortech so sold BVC in order to raise some cash. Lol
