Looks interesting at these prices-what's putting me off is heavy sales and share price drop prior to update could smack of possible insider dealing or leaks. Won't touch till more clarity or possibly in the high teens as speculative punt, for that reason.

Wan old boy - it's when it's raining cats and dogs that you need to argue your case (your own not copy and paste from the web). Instead you've decided to hide under a rock. Not that you have anything of much value to say old pal, sorry - just making a point.

Are you saying -17% should be +17% instead?LOL

The Trades data (buys and sells) is useless on Advfn. Once again, my buy just now shows as a sell. Note to self: don't bother looking at the Trades data and definitely don't let it influence you!

Morning bowling man

Share price is where it was more than a decade back. Cash has beaten this hands down since. Sad for those who buy and hold indiscriminately waiting for kingdom come.

Earnings forecasts leave this still looking very expensive as it has done for quite a while now

Yup, terrible update with sell off in advance while it was delayed. Shame.

[tongosti] 06/2/2023 08:21

wan - your take on it is absolute nonsense pal. don't take my word for it but Mr Market's.

sooty old chappie - how's my spelling doing so far? lol

[tongosti] 06/2/2023 08:05

Technicals proceed fundamentals chaps not the other way around. This market truism keeps reasserting itself over and over and over again.

That's one hell of a mixed bag in terms of growth, opportunity, and operational adjustments! Despite that, it is indeed encouraging that the outlook for 2023 remains positive, which is underscored by Singer Capital Markets publishing a new research note on EKF this morning -

Core ahead of expectations, growth initiatives progressing but more slowly

EKF has issued an FY22 trading update, with the established Point-of-Care and Central Lab segments growing strongly and ahead of expectations, but growth initiatives coming through slower than forecast. CEO Mike Salter has stepped down, but will remain with the group to focus on delivery of the latter, with Julian Baines returning temporarily as Exec Chair whilst a new permanent CEO is recruited. We pare back our growth expectations in FY23, with additional cost saving measures underway to protect margins. We expect a strong return to growth in FY24. The business has made significant strides in repositioning its offering post-pandemic, and we view the current share price weakness as a Buying opportunity.

[faz] 06/2/2023 07:41

It is a terrible update, having to bring Baines back to take over from his successor, who was not up to the job. Until a new CEO is appointed this will not be going anywhere

Below market expectationsHere's the reason someone was looking for a few days ago here.

[tongosti] 03/2/2023 10:24

The bowl man and his spelling guru "chappie" must be really happy with their “investing acumen”… Nah, don’t think so.

Below 39 printing

[tongosti] 03/2/2023 08:05

Who knows who or why but the drop off 49 was really bad and it was all there for all to see. In slow motion.

Only choice one has is whether to manage risk in real time (and protect oneself come what may) or not. Life is lived forwards and understood backwards - markets are a reflection of that old chap.

Good luck.

4.5m sold all at 41p yesterday 1%.

It would be really disappointing if it was an insider ahead of a poor TU delayed for purpose. EKF seem better run than the average for Aim.

Lets hope for an RNS & it turns out to be an II reducing, perhaps Canaccordia, a reasonable TU & onwards to the much mentioned 63p etc

Mental health is indeed a concern. Ah well...

[sirshagalot] 02/2/2023 16:34

My dear boy! one is sure you are a "NOBLE" gentleman but not in the terms you may think, i am referring to you being a "EUNUCH" so please wipe my Bottom.

[tongosti] 02/2/2023 13:13

The bowl man has spoken. What do you know about support darling? Aren't you 50% down and counting? Lol

[sirshagalot] 02/2/2023 10:24

some support found now the recovery as profit takers have left.

[tongosti] 31/1/2023 17:16

another idiot on tap ... next ...

p.s. how's your "this will go to 150+" doing so far dear? lol
