Filtronic Share Discussion Threads

Quite correct baz, but as when we get a feel from AGMs about mood and timescale so they will have that feel if the temperature. It's not infallible but I can't see why they would add to an already huge stake unless they felt the odds were heavily in their favour

In theory they shouldn't be privy to anything that isn't in the public domain. I agree with the potential though. One of my favourite little companies!!

[mad foetus] 21/11/2019 10:45

True, but anyone who has a big shareholding gets to know the management and gets a feel for progress and they must be optimistic. The company is expanding its factory and has lots of orders. And the share price is low. A nice combination lots of potential upside

[bazworth] 21/11/2019 10:44

Good to see that we are nudging upwards!!

[bazworth] 21/11/2019 10:43

Estienne,

Being a firm holder of FTC I agree that I hope that we have a promising future.

However to say that the Dixon's 'have control' is not really the case. They have a substantial share-holding but have no direct control with regard to the way in which Filtronic performs. If the company does well then the share rice should rise, hopefully the opposite doesn't happen!!

Cheers

I'm buying down here lots of potential upside

[estienne] 21/11/2019 10:25

The Dixon's are just private investors who know a good thing when they see it and want to have control over their investment

[angus17] 21/11/2019 07:50

Thought we'd have had an announcement by now. Regards the sale.

Come on keep us informed

[bazworth] 18/11/2019 19:11

No idea! There used to be a rumour of a link with Nokia but would doubt that!

[gerihatrick] 18/11/2019 18:02

who are the Dixons that they should have so much confidence in the company?

[bazworth] 18/11/2019 17:50

At least the Dixon’s are confident! Hope they make a killing!

[bazworth] 15/11/2019 10:56

Wonder when the sale will be finalised?

Reckon we have a pretty good opportunity here. It’s already been announced that the business is growing once again and with a new boss wanting to make their mark, we could possibly see a cracking few periods to come.

Fingers crossed....!

Personally think it is time for a change, so not overly concerned with the announcement. Pleasing to see finncap reiterating stance and target of 10.5p this morning.

[weatherman] 01/11/2019 08:24

We don't know the reason why he has left so suddenly - a difference of opinion regarding the direction of the co. is likely. At least the bottom line is still positive.

handing over the baton, lol

rats deserting the sinking ship

awful business that clearly have been making poor quality products and maybe the wrong products, lol

[chestnuts] 01/11/2019 07:47

I might reinvest in ftc now, he as been like a poisonous chalice, and maybe they might stop the sale and get on with selling a market which will be begging for 5g antennas

[loafofbread] 01/11/2019 07:41

Depends if you are talking about the mens relay from a few weeks ago!

About time someone took responsibility for the rubbish of the last few years.

[angus17] 01/11/2019 07:39

Me neither Grange.
The company seem to be blaming him for the poor years since he arrived. Probably correctly.
Here's looking to the future.

[orange1] 01/11/2019 07:35

This is not quite what I would describe as handing over the baton.

[mesquida] 01/11/2019 07:20

In the light of this morning's RNS I would not be at all surprised if a bidder swooped down on this now.

[beeks of arabia] 31/10/2019 21:39

Could be traders on t positions moving out.Not overly concerned at the mo.

[bazworth] 31/10/2019 14:47

Looks like we’re having a little fun with trading this afternoon! Wonder when we will hear details of the disposal? It would be good to have that out of the way!
