Looking at trades the volume might suggest stake building. Therefore It is either funds buying in or a potential aquirer

[johndoe23] 15/1/2020 12:07

Acquisition...or dare i say takeover??!

[edscoville] 15/1/2020 11:00

Looking at the recent buy volumes is a possible indicator we may be hearing of another acquisition soon??

"Win some - lose some!!"

Very true.

Ah Yes I remember PUG telling me how SDI's big brother JDG's was a sell at £11 a few years ago. I should check how that played out ;-)

[davr0s] 15/1/2020 10:09

Yeah but brokers forecasts imo are as useful as a chocolate teapot - they are guesses from people who sometimes have an agenda. Never use them. There is a concept called PE expansion so in a strong market PE can go up to insane levels which is why buying and selling on PE is unhelpful at best. I haven't looked at a shares PE for years for this reason

They have consistently hit or exceeded their own forecasts. If you believe that they will hit their current EPS forecast, then this is still undervalued.

Synbiosis news - it's worth watching the 2 minute video at the end to see the effect SDI's colony counter has on workloads:



"Watch the testimonial video on ProtoCOL 3 and see how great it is!
January 8th, 2020

ProtoCOL 3 is being used at a world renowned vaccine research facility for testing and designing new and existing vaccines against serious bacterial diseases. One of the ways scientists there test the efficacy of vaccines is to mix serum from vaccinated participants with bacteria in an SBA assay. They then check whether the antibody in the serum kill the bacteria by counting surviving colonies on a plate. Since using the ProtoCOL 3 they have found that having the computer take the image of their plate and automatically count the bacteria, they can do 10 times more work in a day.

Broker target prices are often left well behind as the company develops - almost every day I see analysts issuing revised target prices hugely up from prior estimates as they catch up with events and sentiment. Make up your own mind from the available information.

[pugugly] 15/1/2020 09:11

Still well ahead of house brokers target which I am told was confirmed at 75p today - Pays your money take your choice - Anyway best wishes to all for a healthy and prosperous new year.

[davr0s] 15/1/2020 09:10

No because PE is a very poor indicator of future price movement. It's at an ATH so guessing where the top is exactly that a guess. Of course it will consolidate at some time but trends can go much further than you think

[rivaldo] 15/1/2020 09:06

Good old Pug, we can always rely on you to be miserable :o))

From a bullish perspective, the new year starts soon on 1st May, for which SDI are on a reasonable P/E of 20. One could argue that an appropriate P/E for a fast-growing high-tech business like SDI - particularly one with highly competent and trustworthy management like this one - is 25 to 30.

Looking forward to say 5p EPS for the next year that forward P/E falls to 18. Then factor in further acquisitions (plural) and the P/E could fall considerably from there.

[pugugly] 15/1/2020 08:58

Now well ahead of house broker target price - Could p/e be starting to look a bit toppy?

[rivaldo] 15/1/2020 08:30

Rising nicely, and buying coming in at the full 88p offer price.

Right Hastings

[arregius] 14/1/2020 11:16

What does that mean

[hastings] 14/1/2020 11:06

Looking good this morning with decent volume.

[petewy] 10/1/2020 13:12

My old record shows II's at 27% now 42%

[hsduk101] 06/1/2020 22:40

Wow up 5% today. This share has gained some traction!! Finally representing some of last weeks results

[elglanto] 06/1/2020 13:47

Hello there, I would have a small question regarding trading SDI on SETSqx. About two weeks ago, I placed a continuous buy order at some price limit. During the next two weeks, there have been a lot of trades at price lower than my limit. Since their volume was MUCH larger than the one I would like to buy, I am wondering why my order could not go through. I know the SETSqx has some particularities. However, in the same period, I traded JDG on the same segment and it went through quickly.

Did some of you experienced similar issues?

Also, if that help, I am using Degiro.

[fillspectre] 02/1/2020 21:08

First trading day of 2020 and a massive volume. Would seem to be still a great interest in this share even though the price is near enough at a record high. Fils

News snippet from Atik - Happy New Year to all SDI'ers. I'm sure 2020 will be another good year here:



Extract:

"Furthermore, we have seen the launch of a varied product range this year. This started with the launch of our new software, Dusk, which is an update of Artemis capture with improved auto guiding and auto focus. This was followed by the launch of our first ever small computer, the Atikbase, that can be mounted to your telescope to conveniently control cameras and other hardware from your portable devices. Finally, we finished the year by launching the upgrade to our first ever CMOS camera in the Horizon II.

Looking ahead

More exciting news is on the cards for 2020, as our CCD & CMOS camera range is set to expand further and our production team in Portugal are looking forward to moving to a state of the art new production facility in January.

As always we are truly thankful for your support in 2019 and hope that you enjoy the festive period and look ahead to another great year in 2020!"

New product launch:



"Launch of Syngene’s next generation GeneSys image capture software
December 18th, 2019

Syngene is delighted to announce its GeneSys software is now available with the addition of new ChemiRapid, Signal Accumulation Calculator (SAC) and Enhanced Image features designed to improve chemiluminescence imaging workflow and quality. The software, available for free download to users of specific Syngene imaging systems, offers picture perfect chemi blot images.

Using GeneSys software’s new ChemiRapid feature, scientists working with chemi blots can in one-click take a quick, single image of their blot to check for the absence or presence of specific proteins. For researchers that want to take a series of cumulative chemi images to generate highly accurate blot information, GeneSys also includes the new Signal Accumulation Calculator (SAC) feature.....

......“Scientists don’t want to stand at their imagers trying to generate an image of their chemi blot with the right exposure”, comments Dr Martin Biggs, Divisional Manager at Syngene, “We understand this at Syngene and have made intelligent additions to our new GeneSys software so that researchers can effortlessly produce high quality blot images, which shows off the very best results from their work.”
