Gama Aviation Share Discussion Threads

Results last week showed a $0.8m adjusted EBIT in H2, up from a $0.4m loss in H1, with $129.5m of revenues up from $106.4m in H1. The outlook is mixed for obvious reasons. Let's hope the "continued revenue momentum" in 2022 outweighs everything we know about inflation and supply chain pressures. So no immediate catalysts here. Unless Rozzi (or anyone else) decide to bid.

News: Https://www.airmedandrescue.com/latest/news/gama-aviation-begins-medical-repatriation-service "Gama Aviation begins medical repatriation service 11 May 2022 Combining its aviation assets in the north and south of the UK with its medical team, the company will provide turnkey medical repatriation services for insurers, governments, and private individuals Gama Aviation is continuing to build its medical services offer with a new medical repatriation service focused on repatriating patients to and from the UK.

Simon To bought 3.5million shares between 90p and 100p. This is serious money and let's not forget that Rozzi have been building their stake as well recently.

[george stobart] 29/4/2022 10:17

that's the end game with Gama. Chinese CK Infrastructure will consolidate them The chinese CK own 30% of the company and have no incentive to keep them listed. Will the UK CMA allow a chinese takeover though?

[jeevsje] 29/4/2022 09:44

Takeover before May results? No firm buy quotes online.

[rivaldo] 10/4/2022 18:40

Agreed - you may well be right if a predator wants to chance their arm before the prelims/next trading statement. Interesting comments this week from a Director at a GMAA subsidiary: Https://runwaygirlnetwork.com/2022/04/07/smartsky-jet-east-sales-installation-agreement/ "Dwayne Chandler, Senior Director, Avionics Sales and Business Development, Jet East notes: “Business aviation continues to experience a period of growth and we are seeing an increased demand for both regular maintenance and upgrades to legacy aircraft to keep them flying longer."

anyone buying into this following the takeovers/delisting of John Menzies and Air Partners? seems like an obvious target for their chinese main investor to take them out on the cheap

The year end trading update is finally out. It shows that in H2'21 GMAA made a very decent $1.1m EBIT from its core activities. This is because in H1'21 GMAA made a $0.4m loss, whereas in the entire year GMAA now say they've made a $0.7m profit after stripping out the $4.7m exceptional losses. In addition, GMAA now have $12.5m net cash plus $12.4m RCF headroom. It might be said that GMAA are - slowly - being turned around successfully. The proof will be in the H1'22 pudding, especially with the "challenging operating environment": Https://uk.advfn.com/stock-market/london/gama-aviation-GMAA/share-news/Gama-Aviation-PLC-FY21-Trading-Update/87491692

Wow, a 15,655 share just reported at 67p - 5p above the current 62p offer price! Someone's keen.

[aimingupward2] 18/1/2022 12:51

Nice to see the share price responding well to the news.

[rivaldo] 18/1/2022 09:49

No stopping this one at present. Let's hope this reflects an improved performance in the last H2 over H1'21.

GMAA's Sharjah operation was "buoyant" in 2021 - and this has continued into 2022: Https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/GAMA-AVIATION-PLC-6855474/news/Gama-Aviation-Sharjah-FBO-continues-growth-in-2022-37537266/ "Gama Aviation : Sharjah FBO continues growth in 2022 01/13/2022 | 12:41pm GMT Buoyant 2021 continues into start of 2022 2021 was a successful period for Gama Aviation's FBO at Sharjah International Airport, and that looks set to continue into 2022. Head of FBO's Tom Murphy explains; despite the constant challenges, we saw a 30% increase on pre-pandemic volumes in Sharjah. Whilst this is an encouraging number, what we have been most proud of is the amount of new aircraft and clients that have visited and since become regular customers. For prolonged periods our apron reached 90% occupancy, which considering our capacity is a success story in itself!. Tom also states that this momentum is extending into 2022. "less than a week into 2022 we have achieved 60% of our budgeted monthly movements - the feedback we are receiving from our new clients is of their surprise of our proximity to Downtown Dubai, the added benefit of a zero slot restricted airfield and a 6 minute taxi time from runway to parking apron"."

Nice - up 5p on a mere £5k purchase this morning. Not much stock around?

[rivaldo] 04/1/2022 10:15

RNS - $2m received on the sale of CASL: Https://www.investegate.co.uk/gama-aviation-plc--gmaa-/rns/completion-of-the-sale-of-20--share-in-associate/202201040700122547X/ and the share price is up 7% on just £1k of shares traded! Those Rozzi Inc. purchases have made liquidity pretty tight here. The CASL sale was completed on 31/12, so GMAA will be able to show 2021 results net of discontinued businesses. H1'21 showed a not too bad $0.4m EBIT loss from the continuing business. I've got no idea what H2 will show - the H1 outlook was pretty vague. Fingers crossed the February trading statement (assuming it follows last year) is positive.

Glad to see that the price has a bit of momentum from being 37pence ish for most of this year to mid 40s and long may it continue - which is what momentum is supposed to do. My average purchase price is nearly £2. Ouch!!

[rivaldo] 22/10/2021 14:24

A 30,000 share buy at 43p has moved the price up almost 9% today :o)) Looks like Rozzi Inc. have cleared out the market of stock. Cheers ai2.
