Benchmark Share Discussion Threads

An observation - not casting any aspersions on BMK, but on the awards industry in general.

I don't give any credence to awards...they are a dime a dozen literally. The awards industry is an interesting place....have you ever seen a takeaway or restaurant without an award ? The awards industry segment the entrants in a manner that ensures that every one who pays to enter, gets an award in some category.

You can always be the best business in some category - and a lot of the awards are "pay to play and win an award " types anyway !!

There is even an AIM listed company that is in the Awards industry...

At the end of the day, it is the SP, financial growth, returns and dividends that make a difference from an investing perspective.

Clean treat did win the innovation award.There was a lot of interest in it in Norway.

Link: Includes video of how CleanTreat works. JMHO I think this is another "plus" for Benchmark, and will be a serious income generator.

Clean treat has been nominated for a innovation award at Aquanor next week,the worlds biggest bi-annual acquaculture exhibition held in Trondheim.

Tough Q3 trading period with weak shrimp, sea bass and bream markets, but sea lice trials completed and Norwegian distribution on track for mid 2020. Headroom at $110m. Full note can be read at:

Lot of debt on the BMK balance sheet from what I recall....wonder what currency it was/is denominated in ?

I agree a cash call/raise is likely..or the Norwegians could decide to buy the company on the cheap and retain the aquaculture segment and flog the rest of the business segments.

I must be one of the lucky few to have made a decent amount from this share. My commiserations to current holders.I follow out of interest and post on BBs to see whether my expectations/predictions turned out as expected.

A good learning tool....

Say no more ! They will be looking to raise more cash then sooner or later or insolvency!

MRF- While Woody is a negative impact the main reason (imo) for today's fall is as 474 above - A major commercialisation failure and suggestions of product problems - Until strong evidence that both overcome I would expect share price to continue to be soggy -

Anyone any idea of possible impact of a No Deal Brexit on sales into EU markets?

[john09] 12/8/2019 08:43

I wonder which of those puny sales first thing this morning was yours lol

[john09] 12/8/2019 08:42

Dribble down for days

[john09] 12/8/2019 08:20

Nw99 burnt again

[john09] 12/8/2019 08:16

Oh it was a buy 35 days ago but you sold just before the unscheduled TS? You’re a trading genius as usual 👍

[nw99] 12/8/2019 08:13

That was 35 days ago not in it now but thanks for the kind post

[john09] 12/8/2019 07:53

You can forget about 40p it’ll be 25p. It was always on a crazy valuation and so when it slips it’ll get hammered

[napoleon 14th] 12/8/2019 07:34

40p 1st stop, then what?

I like the company but happy to have walked on by when tempted to buy!
Norwegians might want to bid later,
especially as they won't need to put much of a premium in any offer....

[john09] 12/8/2019 07:28

Yep the nw99 kiss of death. If SCSW say buy he blindly follows lol.

[murdo mcsponge] 11/7/2019 08:07

IMHO, the announcement today about Tilapia, is very significant; it shows that this Company is absolutely on the right track. Just my HO!

[nw99] 08/7/2019 07:29
