I've added today. its on 11.6x headline 2020 earnings. Even if that earnings number is wrong by 15%, it's on 13.5x. That's a very defendable valuation IMO

Is SDI going to go bust? Shouldn't do! Cash generative, modest debt and cost of debt is very low. M&A strategy should be easier with cheaper targets. So buying for the 2021 earnings rebound or 2022 or whenever it is!

Close enough to 50p now.. first few long from here.

[johndoe23] 12/3/2020 11:27

Next support around 50p

[solooiler] 12/3/2020 09:29

the uk could shut down and this is on over 15 times pe and the e could go down a lot

[johndoe23] 12/3/2020 09:17

Treacherous buying anything at the moment!!

[solooiler] 12/3/2020 09:12

im out for now. could head to 40

[edscoville] 11/3/2020 10:45

Thanks for the info Rivaldo.

Does any of their new testing initiatives or equipment get used for vaccine developers ?

If not might be a good idea to develop such

New product launch not reported here before:



"Launch of new Far-Red HI-LED lights from Syngene
February 27th, 2020

Syngene has introduced a far-red HI-LED lighting option for its new design of G:BOX Chemi and G:BOX mini multi-application gel and blot imaging systems. This quick-fit, environmentally friendly lighting enables fast workflow and precise detection of IR fluorescently labelled proteins on gels and blots.

With an excitation wavelength of 650-670nm, the far-red HI-LED light allows G:BOX Chemi and G:BOX mini systems to image sensitive near-IR protein dyes such as IR-Dye 680 and 700, and Alexa Fluor 680 and 700. The new LED light is also more intense than standard LEDs, which means that exposure times are shorter, making the G:BOX system into a high-speed imager.

The advantage of adding the new far red HI-LED light to G:BOX systems instead of purchasing dedicated IR detection technology, is that scientists still have the flexibility to image multiple different white and UV light applications. These include 1D/2D DNA and protein gels, as well as chemiluminescent and fluorescent multiplex Western blots and researchers can generate impressive publication-quality images using just one imaging system.

The eco-friendly, far red HI-LED lighting (up to 100,000 hours’ service life) is easy to fit and is automatically controlled via intuitive, icon-driven GeneSys software. This new near-IR lighting combined with the G:BOX system’s real-optical imaging power, provides unrivalled resolution and sensitivity comparable to most laser-based systems, allowing accurate detection (femtogram levels) of low-abundance proteins.

“Long exposure times using CCD imagers and not being able to justify buying laser-based technology means many scientists don’t use sensitive IR dyes, even though they would like to”, explains Dr Martin Biggs, Sales Manager at Syngene. “Our new far red HI-LED lighting is the ideal solution as it enables G:BOX Chemi or mini system users to work across a wider range of applications and detect low-abundance proteins without having to make major equipment purchases or learn new protocols.”

Although US markets fell yesterday , Japan and China closed about flat .

[johndoe23] 02/3/2020 20:11

I hope you're right, as i bought back in this morning!!

[rivaldo] 02/3/2020 15:37

...or maybe not.

[johndoe23] 02/3/2020 10:54

Spoke too soon

[rivaldo] 02/3/2020 08:52

The bounce starts here :o))

Finally , to point to a couple of posts on the LSE chat forum , which I admit were two or three weeks ago , when the Wuhan virus was less widespread . Anyway : 1/. on 7th February , " turramurra " posted that " Finncap raise target price to 105p and says buy " . " Tipped to be a 10 bagger in last week's Money Week magazine . Will post more details when I have more time " ; 2/. on 10th February , Forseti confirms that Finncap raised the target price to 105p and said Buy .

solo oiler . You state that SDI is a UK stock . Obviously it is listed in the UK . However , the Company's website states , in its latest report ( dated 16/12/2019 ) " "sales of our largely niche technologies remain evenly divided across North America , the UK , and rest of Europe and China " ( actually , less than 10% sales are to China ) . Given that two of the markets which SDI supplies ( the first two referred to in the latest report ) are life sciences and healthcare , is it not feasible that SDI's clients , and thus SDI , might benefit from research into combatting the Wuhan virus ?

It might be of interest that BATM Plc , an Israeli company involved in both telecoms and bio-medicine , announced yesterday that its " Bio-medical division has successfully developed a new diagnostics kit to detect Covid-19 . Additionally , this kit has undergone testing by several central laboratories and hospitals that have now verified its ability to diagnose Covid-19 " . Yes , that's " diagnose " , and not " cure " . My ( layman's ) understanding is that , initially there is a sudden outburst of cases of the Wuhan virus , but the numbers soon start to decline . Surely a major reason for the 33% share drop from the recent peak in SDI's price is that , at 90p , the share price had got too far ahead of itself and was therefore prone to drop anyway . The latest comment by Small Company Share Watch , in the January edition , which appeared on 11th January , when the Wuhan virus was starting to appear , was " hold " ( at 78p ) . By the way , internet vigilantes , no need to publicly decapitate me for that - that comment was many weeks ago : on another chat site , a well-known poster gave the entire text of a long piece in SCSW about another of the magazine's tips but his quote was of a similar vintage so not too " live " .

Think the market is already factoring that in Solo, we are off nearly 12/15% from highs, and let’s face it 20 years ago the FTSE was higher than it is now so is that progress, I think not, but then some will have had 20 yrs of dividends which compared to US stocks have always been more generous!

[solooiler] 29/2/2020 08:05

Corona is coming to the UK in big style IMO. Cant see why I want to buy any UK stocks ahead of that

and 4.8m net debt for end of fy20

After allowing five months of contributions from Chell , eps forecasts remain at 3.6p . However , for next year , 4.3p is predicted . So , at the current price of about 60p , that equates to a p/e of 16.67 and 13.95 respectively ( less , if there is net cash on the books ) . The share price is considerably below its 20 and 50 day moving averages , and is at the 200 moving day level ( this can easily be found on the Hargreaves Lansdown site for SDI under share charts ) . So , does this 33% drop in the share price to this level indicate support ? Yes , we have to look forward and anticipate events but , apart from rather less than 10% exposure to China , the only danger I can see is that of SDI's clients being hit . There was a very big market correction in August 2018 , but does anyone remember that ?

No company can isolate itself from a global economy.

[shanklin] 27/2/2020 14:40

Next you will be wanting every listed company in the world to issue a profits warning.

[shanklin] 27/2/2020 14:40

Ludicrous to say this is not credible. We can all attempt to extrapolate but SDI can only take a view on what they are actually observing from within their business.

[fuji99] 27/2/2020 14:39

This is the news on the effect. - - -
