DBAY bought.
Alpha Leporis, a star.
Could become activist to shake-up management.

[volsung] 06/3/2020 09:37

The future has been cancelled. Lights out!

[beeezzz] 02/3/2020 21:12

Directors get away with murder, there are not severe enough penalties for rubbish management...

[rustyspanner] 01/3/2020 20:36

This is the same disastrous management as Versarien, both failed investments for me!

They are making headway but outsource decision set them back several years. Need to focus on profits and cash flow. Stop the stupid decisions to move HQ or production to make closer to CEO for his convenience. Crazy stuff that you can’t make up!

Lights look s though they are burning out and may soon be dead (imo0 Great historical products messed up by faulty management decisions (imo) Might they recover???

Results due before end of month...hopefully they are making progress, share price has been rising over recently..

The share price has been bumping along a low price for a long time. There is a strong demand for the product but the management seem to lack strategic vision and operational capability. C level own the company, consultants advise, they don't make decisions. I'm sold out of them so have no further interest.

This is from Glassdoor (I've always found them pretty good) re cons of working there. 'Arrogant, disrespectful exec directors who terrorise more junior staff and treat employees with utter contempt. Fact that CFO is now appointed as acting CEO is terrifying - and shows the depths to which the board and company has plummeted. She’s presided over multiple profit warnings with impunity - why isn’t there any top level accountability? Unbelievable.

I looked at Reed and the reviews were quite positive.

[rustyspanner] 03/1/2020 09:20

I've held these shares for several years and they have never achieved their potential. There's a big market for industrial LEDs but the management of this electronics company appear totally incompetent. Employee comments on Glassdoor confirm this and therefore I've just sold at a loss to then forget.

See you next year when this is about 50p

[outsizeclothes.com] 20/11/2019 16:36

Agreed Jefflan, they need to start generating positive cash-flow.
That said, they are on a sensible p/e if the management gets a recovery going.
AND - don't rule out a "left-field" bid from a US company with the strong dollar making UK assets look good value. A £3.50 / £4 bid could be hard to defend.
I bought a few for the wife's ISA earlier.

They need to stop capitalising regular expenditure and claiming so-called "exceptionals" and start generating some cash.

Several people post their opinion with no facts. Decision to source Sanmina was a disaster that this team is still recovering from. It will take time. Meanwhile they have developed several successful products and are ramping rapidly. Quality was never a question, they lead the industry with reliability and warranty. They need leadership, direction and decisions to move forward. Mgt is doing that now!

Another great call ONJohn!
