Posted at 20/3/2025 09:12 by aishah Cavendish:SDI Group (SDI): CORP New products highlight innovation opportunities. The group has updated the market with an RNS reach illustrating a number of new product introductions and developments. Together they highlight the efforts coming through to rejuvenate revenue growth through innovation. No change to our existing forecasts, retaining our 135p target price, pointing to significant upside as internal initiatives generate benefits and some recovery in markets occurs. |
Posted at 14/3/2025 09:22 by nchanning We are also only 45 days from the end of SDI's financial year . If the chairman is buying 50 lumps of stock he is kind of telling you SDI is trading at least in line with expectations or why not wait until the trading update to fire his bullets |
Posted at 14/3/2025 07:13 by nchanning Ken ford with decent sized buy , has timed his buys and sells well in the past . Look at every AIM bulletin board , it's people desperately scrambling for reasons as to why share prices are tanking on no news . The market is just very weak and throwing up incredible bargains atm |

Posted at 07/2/2025 09:49 by rivaldo SDI were also one of Techinvest's 12 New Year tips for 2025 in their January issue as follows:"SDI (SDI; 57.5p) owns a group of small to medium sized companies with specialist industrial and scientific products in growth sector niches. Growth across the group stalled in fiscal 2024 as trading conditions in core markets became more challenging. However, the current year ending April 30 seems to be going well and broker forecasts anticipate a small increase in revenue and substantially higher profit. SDI confirmed last month that order intake in the first half was significantly up compared to the second half of fiscal 2024. Gross margins and cash generation were also higher. In October, the company announced its latest acquisition, InspecVision, for a net consideration of £6.1m. The acquisition looks a good fit and is expected to be immediately earnings enhancing." |
Posted at 05/2/2025 09:47 by rivaldo Techinvest's December issue covered SDI's earnings enhancing InspecVision acquisition and concluded as follows FYI:"SDI’s skills in identifying small science-based companies to add to its portfolio of investments is widely acknowledged and the latest acquisition looks another well-judged selection. InspecVison provides precision measurement machinery for smart manufacturing, automated inspection and reverse engineering and offers SDI an entrance into the high value metrology market and a global, blue-chip customer base which includes the US. The acquisition also introduces new technological capabilities to the enlarged group, including AI and machine learning, and brings strong IP which SDI’s management feel can be leveraged. SDI’s share price peaked at 196p in February 2023 but has since fallen back as revenue growth across the group has moderated, mainly reflecting more challenging trading conditions for various portfolio companies. Support for the stock around 52p has been evident in recent months, with signs that the fall in the share price over the last eighteen months is bottoming out. Broker consensus forecasts have held steady since early July, with the current expectation being for net profit of £7.65m and earnings per share of 6.1p for the current year ending April 30. Trading on a prospective P/E of 9.6, we are cautiously optimistic that the modest recovery in the share price seen in recent weeks can gather momentum as we move towards 2025. Further out, the investment case looks robust given the strong position the portfolio companies hold in some attractive niche markets underpinned by strong secular trends. Buy." |
Posted at 10/10/2024 11:56 by red ninja Tipped in Shares Magazine todayThree Small Shares To Buy Now A casual glance at the share price chart might put a quick end to investors’ research into SDI (SDI:AIM), but that’s a mistake, in our view. This is a small cap company which has stuck to its largely successful knitting for years, and we expect its fortunes to significantly improve over time. SDI is a collection of subsidiaries involved in the design and manufacture digital imaging, sensing and control equipment used in life sciences, healthcare, astronomy, manufacturing, precision optics and art conservation applications. It’s a buy and build model which closely resembles that of health, safety and environmental kit maker Halma (HLMA), a constituent of the FTSE 100, buying good value businesses which add consistent cash flow and profits to the overall company. Not only does SDI’s growth stretch back multiple years, it has been high-quality growth. Gross margins typically run at around 60% to 65%, high for a manufacturing business, while returns on investment and operating margins are in the double-digits and above industry averages. The end of the pandemic has tossed many a challenge at SDI as customers de-stocked after a prolonged spell of over-ordering. Higher borrowing costs haven’t helped either, but both issues now seem set to improve. This leaves substantial upside on the table, partly as SDI continues to find attractively priced acquisition targets to supplement organic growth, and from a change in market mood. This is a stock which has previously traded on a 20-plus PE (price to earnings), now just 12. History is on its side, we believe. Over the last 10 years, SDI has grown turnover from £7 million to £65.8 million in the year to 30 April 2024 and adjusted operating profit from around £57,000 to £9.6 million. The share price has increased from around 10p to over 200p at its peak, yet today is available at 50p. Not for long, we suspect. [SF] |
Posted at 06/6/2024 09:37 by rivaldo SDI have been tipped by City Confidential with a 104p target price in their latest issue:Extracts: "SDI Group – 71.5p The recent trading statement from the AIM-quoted designer and manufacturer of scientific and technology products has provided reassurance on the results for the year to 30 April 2024. Although these will not be as good as the previous year, the current financial year should see a return to growth once again and, in our opinion, the share price now offers excellent value. The shares stand on a relatively modest p/e ratio and although there is no dividend the growth prospects more than make up for this. The share price hit 200p in March 2023 and although we do not expect the shares to rise to that level anytime soon, we do think that a rating of 14x the earnings for the current financial year is achievable. That sets a share price target of around 104p, an increase of 45% over the current level, thus justifying our recommendation of BUY." "The trading statement released on 20 May covered the period to 30 April 2024 and confirmed that revenues would be in line with market expectations at around £65.9m. This figure includes a first-time contribution from Peak Sensors (acquired in November 2023) and full year contributions from a couple of businesses acquired in July and October 2022. The second half of the year saw an improvement in both profitability and cash generation over the first half and this enabled net debt at the year end to be maintained at £13.2m despite the company spending £3.3m on acquisitions during the period. It is pleasing to report that the increase in revenue was seen pretty much across the board although Scientific Vacuum Services did see a fall in revenues after delivering a large contract in the first half of the year. The company is therefore confident that adjusted pre-tax profit for the year will be in the order of £8.0m, which is pretty much in line with market expectations. Outlook The company has always maintained that 2024 was going to be a more difficult year as the effects of overstocking by customers (which had benefited earlier years) began to unravel. However, it is pleasing that despite this impact, the company has continued to do well, remaining profitable and also cash generative. It does seem likely that 2024 will be the low point in the current cycle and that revenues and profits will start to increase from the current year. The group’s strategy of acquiring small, niche businesses which continue to be run independently as before is clearly working and the fact that these businesses serve different end markets also provides some diversification. The businesses benefit from being part of a larger group whilst maintaining their entrepreneurial flair and scope for innovation. As the companies being acquired are private companies the cost of these is much less than their quoted counterparts although any growth is then for the benefit of SDI shareholders The company’s subsidiaries operate in growing end markets and this obviously provides the potential for future growth. The appointment of Stephen Brown as CEO in January also appears to be having a positive effect as he has considerable experience in the industry having held senior positions in prestigious global product and technology focused businesses. Despite the prospects at the group, the shares stand on a relatively low rating and we therefore rate them as a BUY." |
Posted at 29/9/2023 11:47 by worldwidet Good investors recognise when a paradigm shift has taken place and a decade-long cycle of interest rate cuts has come to an end.A good investor recognises when the framework conditions have turned 180 degrees and the management and corporate strategy are overwhelmed by the new situation. We are not talking about a short recession like in 2020 after Covid and central banks that then bring the interest rate close to 0 and flood the markets with money. What happens in the next 1-3 years will have an impact for the next decades. Feel free to say today that I am exaggerating with my pessimism. But look at the bond markets because they tell you what will happen. I would advise investors to sit on a mountain of money and buy a few ounces of gold and see what happens in the next few years. I think it's going to get pretty ugly. Just my humble opinion and I don't make recommendations as a matter of principle. The SDI share price seems to prove me right. I'm out of here again and will take my time to see what happens. |
Posted at 06/6/2023 08:11 by worldwidet Halma 38x FCFSDI 30x FCF If you think SDI is worth paying 30 times FCF then buy. I think the risk premium at the current valuation is too low to buy. SDI lacks a strong management team that is ready to take SDI to the next level. But SDI executives hardly own any SDI shares, so there is no incentive to take SDI to the next level. CEO Mike Creedon has done a great job in getting SDI to where it is now but it is urgent to expand SDI's structures and install leaders who are able to think bigger. It doesn't need a one-man army, it needs a competent M&A team to take care of the M&A business so that the CEO and CFO can take care of the core business and strategic direction. It's about taking the existing business global and opening up new regions. It is about increasing cash generation and optimising structures to increase FCF release to turn the M&A wheel faster. As long as Mike tries to manage everything on his own, I see considerable risk. It is about taking SDI to the next level and I have lost faith that Mike Creedon will be the right man to do it. I respect Mike Creedon for what he has done and the value he has created for SDI shareholders but I see SDI facing huge structural challenges in the face of the RF environment which has changed massively and which are not yet included in the share price Let's wait until the share price is in the 100p range. |
