03/7/2018 07:42	eastbourne1982: The results are OK, not sure they are good however the lower margin had been flagged, I wouldn't expect the share price to fall today however I wouldn't expect it to move up much either. With regards to the order book, it looks good however if they need lots more revenue for profits to stand still it's not a great sign. Read Full Thread Follow Reply
23/4/2018 10:03	eastbourne1982: I've been buying these recently around the £2.78 mark, share price is down nearly 50% since August 2017, fall looks well overdone imho. A market cap of 30 - 35 million would be realistic here. Read Full Thread Follow Reply
23/10/2017 20:03	glasshalfull: I revisited my post from 7 months ago when I sold out @ c.460p --- 23 Mar '17 - 21:58 - 218 of 259 SOLI Disappointing statement today. Sold some recently when it popped up to 525p but still retain a slug (thanks Richard B for the Moneyweek tip). Worth noting that WH Ireland previously had £3.3m PBT pencilled in and today's statement indicated that PBT would be broadly in line and, "in excess of £3.1m". So somewhere in the region of 3-7% shortfall I'd envisage. In summary, closure of the SEMS business (electronic tagging) reduces SOLI's ability to claim R&D tax credits moving forward which consequently raises their tax rate expectations from 10% to 15% for the current year as they can no longer offset. This has the effect of reducing EPS more markedly than the smaller PBT reduction of between £100-£200k as today's statement implies. WH Ireland have reduced EPS by (-13%) in the current year from 35.6p to 31.1p EPS ... or prospective PER of 14.8 (@460p). 2018 finds them reducing by (-14%) from 37.7p to 32.3p EPS ... or prospective 2018 PER of 14.2 (@460p). However, in a positive note, WH Ireland indicate that gross margins will rise to 32% from expectations of 29.5%. They've also retained a 12p dividend forecast for the next couple of years. Overall I think SOLI a decent company. It's been an interesting ride during the last 3 to 4 years. We've had the euphoria that surrounded the MoJ contract win announcement and tripling of the shareprice, to the cancellation & uncertainty that followed (through no fault of SOLI's). Then came the MoJ settlement & acquisition of Creasefield which saw the shares appreciate from lows, and today's statement looks like providing yet another speed-bump on the road. Notwithstanding a bid materialising for the company, I think the share price will at best stagnate for the next 6 months or so. It's certainly not rated like some on the market, but if WH Irelands forecasts are on the money, then I think it more deserving of a prospective PER 10-12 on negligible growth in the short term. Others may disagree. My initial thoughts FWIW. Please DYOR. Kind regards, GHF --- Well, they rose to 520p following a Simon Thompson tip with the market clearly ignoring short-term negligible growth & awarding them a PER 17 when I thought a PER 10-12 more in-line with performance at that stage. Following today's update WH Ireland have downgraded EPS by 7% & PBT by a further 8% in 2018...that's a downgrade from an original 37.7p in March 2017 to 30.8p now for an overall earnings downgrade of 18% since March.. PBT now forecast at £3.0m & forecast dividend retained at 12p (est. 12.5p) There are also some small downgrades to 2019 estimates with PBT reduced from £3.6m to £3.3m & forecast EPS reduced from 35.8p to 33.9p. So, on these reduced forecasts, SOLI's earnings will fall 4% in the current year before growing at 10% next. As I mentioned in my March 2017 write-up, I believe SOLI a decent company but IMHO believe it should only be valued on a PER 10-12 until the anticipated growth emerged. I thought fair valuation c.380p back in March & the market carried them up to 520p...so take my comments with a pinch of salt! Shares are now back to 425p, so on a prospective PER of 13.8 for 2018. I'll either await a further pullback before jumping on board or alternatively willing to pay up when they start delivering decent earnings growth. Kind regards, GHF Read Full Thread Follow Reply

22/11/2016 21:25	glasshalfull: Evening all, SOLI's results were well flagged and I'm surprised that they dropped by 11% on the opening bell simply by motioning that they had incurred a higher tax rate in H1...a factor that impacts full year earnings by only (-2%) as noted in the update below, where essentially the tax rate increases from 8% to 10% over the full year. PJ mentioned that Stock-o-pedia has earnings forecasts of 42p for 2017. This figure didn't ring true with me, so I also checked Stocko & confirm that PJ is correct. However, WH Ireland - who are the house broker - have certainly not issued guidance in this area. I had previously posted their forecasts prior to this morning's results indicating 36.5p EPS for 2017 & 37.7p EPS for 2018...so absolutely no idea how Stocko came up with this other figure??? If you care to check back with my posts earlier in the year you'll see that in April 2016 WH Ireland had 36.0p pencilled in. Anyway, WH Ireland provided the following update on the effect of the increased tax rate (when the share price was 450p) indicating that SOLI's underlying forecasts were unchanged:- "H1 results are compatible with our core FY17E expectations: we leave revenue, EBITDA and PBT unchanged. However, noting a blended H1 tax rate of circa 15%, higher than our 8% FY assumption and reflecting a reduction in R&D tax credits in the period cf FY15, we move our FY17E tax rate assumption to 10%. This has the impact of a modest reduction in EPS from 36.5p to 35.6p (-2.4%). We leave all FY18E expectations unchanged. We continue to be impressed by SOLIs underlying progress in building a larger niche electronics business serving core markets such as Military, Subsea, Water, Rail and Security....reflected in both increased operating margins and also the forecast 5-year CAGR in EPS through FY17 of 19%. The rating of 12.6x current year earnings coupled with a 3% yield makes the shares looks attractive at current levels." I've updated the figures in the header to reflect previous earnings and the following forecasts. Forecasts (WH Ireland - 22.11.2016) •31/03/17 - 35.6p - £3.3m PBT (Div 13p) •31/03/18 - 37.7p - £3.5m PBT (Div 13.5p) --- SOLI remain one of my core holdings. Hope this assists.

21/10/2016 09:28	cockerhoop: By the excellent Richard Beddard in Money Week - 5 IHT avoiding stocks 5. Solid State (SOLI) Market cap: £25m Debt-adjusted p/e: 9 Electronics manufacturer and distributor Solid State has put its shareholders through the emotional wringer. Two years ago the company announced that it was part of a consortium that had been awarded (by its standards) a massive contract with the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) to develop electronic tags for convicted law-breakers. The dream began to turn into a nightmare late last year, as the contract was first delayed, and then terminated when the MoJ decided to use an off-the-peg solution instead. However, while long-term shareholders would have experienced exuberance as the share price took off, and dismay as it later crashed, for any investors considering buying shares now, it’s as though the nightmare never happened. Solid State received a one-off payment to settle the contract, which it immediately spent on Creasefield, a manufacturer of battery packs. Although Creasefield made a small loss in the year to March 2016, Solid State expects it to return to profit this year, helped by co-operation in design, engineering and sales with its existing successful battery business. The battery business is part of Steatite, the manufacturing arm of Solid State. The company also distributes electronic components through Solid State Supplies. Both businesses are in good shape due to decisions taken well over a decade ago. While many manufacturers of electronic equipment chose to relocate their operations in China and other low-cost economies in the 2000s, Solid State chose to specialise instead, focusing on high-value rugged computers, batteries, radios and components especially designed for use in the field. Because of exacting specifications, and the regulations required to handle dangerous materials and sensitive information, it’s preferable and sometimes necessary to manufacture this equipment in the UK. As far as tagging goes, Solid State retains the intellectual property it developed and it is working out what to do with it. But even if the company never makes a profit from tagging, business as usual is no bad thing. Read Full Thread Follow Reply
