Always surprises me how often AIM shares such as Kromek drift downwards. Then when there’s a public regurgitation of some old news to remind everyone of what’s on offer the share price surges. Just seen it at Metal Tiger... it slowly drifted down from 33p to 22p then some old news is regurgitation by Simon Thompson and it surges 25% in a day. The question is when will that happen to Kromek again

not too dissimilar to the UK government ?

[fruitloops101] 09/8/2021 09:14

What China say they are doing is mostly for Western consumption and bears scant relation to the truth

[aqc888] 09/8/2021 08:40

Plus globally, countries like China, who are still trying to achieve zero covid rates would be greatly interested in the machine

[aqc888] 09/8/2021 08:37

Personally I think with companies struggling to reassure staff to return to the office there will still be great demand for these machines from the private and education sector

Forecasts for this financial year are 75% achieved already, with zero sales of the bio pathogen detector included in those forecasts. So even in a mildly successful announcement including orders from a few governments (Kromek have already said they are in serious talks with a few governments). All such orders will be in addition to what’s forecast for Kromek, this year is already looking like it will exceed forecasts without the bio detector

[davethechef] 09/8/2021 08:23

They need to provide information on sizeable take-up of orders, not just repeat that the trials are very good. We've been told that.
Covid is diminishing in the U.K, the R number is below 1.0. I personally can't see them selling the Covid Detector in the numbers they'd hope in this country now; maybe transport hubs, some schools & hospitals but some other countries, worst affected(Russia, Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico)they should be concentrating on,
We need sales & production numbers now to excite the market I believe.

i'll be more than happy with 'very good'

[dogwalker] 09/8/2021 08:11

Yes but the positive results now need to be extra-super-positive given all the hype generated here now, thanks. What if the news is only what's expected i.e. very good?

[aqc888] 08/8/2021 11:17

All this talk of Sage suggesting a more deadly variant could emerge... Kromek probably would offer a portfolio a good hedge against such a scenario. It would probably be one of the only shares to surge in demand in that scenario, providing these detector results are positive...

[aqc888] 08/8/2021 10:27

Hopefully the ‘positive results’ the CEO and Simon Thompson talk of will be released later this month. When they are released we should see the strongest spike in the share price yet. share price should get to Simon Thompson’s target of ‘28p and well beyond’ at that point.

[b00mb0y] 07/8/2021 22:09

I’m hoping for .80p this year with positive news. .50p as minimum. But then again………..

[strategicinvestor2] 07/8/2021 20:27

I think you are right that if there is positive newsflow then this could exceed 80p in coming years. If short term news is positive medium term rise I would expect to be sudden. GLA IMHO DYOR

This would have been an excellent live trails test for the Patho Covids unit, but I guess the logistics would have been a bit tricky....maybe on another short trip somewhere..in the future?

No mention of the Covids precautions onboard,The usual I expect, but last week it was reported an outbreak on another US cruise originated from asymptomatic children or teenagers I think.

I walked past her last week in Southampton very impressive ship.

AQC888 - thanks for that article. Kind of hits many nails on the head there.

Of course we're all on tenterhooks waiting for news...

But surely in the medium term (2-3 years) from this point, Kromek has the potential to go back to a share price of it's highest highs of 80p.

It's got such good tech in many areas and it's the right time for this tech to take off.

The quarantine systems that the article talks about need a lot of thought and time to work things through. Where I live the quarantine systems and COVID working practices are really thorough. Local organizations work together and with the local and national authorities. It's taken a lot of time and effort on many details to get there.

[aqc888] 06/8/2021 22:10

Anita Goel: To support recovery from this pandemic, and to prevent future pandemics, we need to have a smarter quarantine system—instead of entire lockdowns on our economy—enabled by decentralized nanoprecision and even quantitative, real-time testing of COVID-19 and other biomarkers. There’s a Harvard University study that says it costs about $12 billion a day for America to have a lockdown.15 And it would cost Americans $20 million a day to test 6 percent of the population—roughly 20 million Americans—to effectively and safely reopen the economy—and keep it open.16

A smart quarantine system means we create COVID-19-free safety zones where we can guarantee individuals, families, and communities—at least within a certain subset of the population—are indeed COVID-19 free. To do that, we need very high-precision, mobilized testing at a molecular level that can give you real-time data. That’s how we are going to be able to separate who’s infected, including the asymptomatic carriers—or "superspreaders"R12;who carry the virus and can transmit it yet show no symptoms. Today, less than 10 percent of the needed 20 million tests a day in the United States are being done. And the testing that’s being done today provides only qualitative yes-or-no answers and has variable quality.

An interesting article from McKinsey. When asked how we will end this pandemic Anita Goel, MD, PhD, a world-renowned, award-winning physicist, physician, global-health security expert, and entrepreneur and the chair and CEO of Nanobiosym, pretty much describes the Kromek detector...

McKinsey: What innovations are you most excited about that may help deliver faster, more effective solutions to end the pandemic from both the health and economic perspectives?

Anita Goel: We live in a highly interconnected global economy where infections travel at lightning speed. To combat that, we need to embrace innovation and the best technologies and capabilities— technologies to detect, intervene, and create countermeasures on a massive scale early. We now have the technological capabilities, but it will require a paradigm shift to scale and deploy these nationally and globally—for example, moving from a more centralized to a decentralized paradigm about how we deliver healthcare.

We also need strong national mobilization to scale adoption quickly—for example, scaling nanobiophysics technology, which may solve the testing problem and create precision molecular testing in real time at a mass scale and enable real-time surveillance and early detection and countermeasures.

Someone talking?

[aqc888] 06/8/2021 16:34

Haha, I think I would have done the same trade in reality

[dougmachin] 06/8/2021 14:27

AQC - I did a great trade.. sold at 21p and then bought back in, basically at 21p.
Doh!
