Surface Transforms PLC (LON:SCE)


Surface Transforms is a manufacturer of next-generation carbon ceramic brake discs for the automotive and aircraft industries.

Nice snippet from Unicorn AIM VCT's IMS just out this morning - they've invested £1.5m in SCE's placing:



"Surface Transforms (+7.8%) is a manufacturer of carbon-ceramic brake discs for specialist automotive and aircraft applications. Surface Transforms has developed its unique materials technology over more than a decade and built up an enviable reputation on racetracks and with niche supercar manufacturers. The brake discs manufactured by the business demonstrate significant advantages over competing products being lighter, stronger and able to maintain lower operating temperatures combined with lower wear rates. The effectiveness of the disc brakes is fully tested and proven and the business is now receiving substantial interest from several British and German performance car manufacturers. As a consequence, Surface Transforms needs to build additional capacity and has raised an additional £4.5 million to fund this expansion. Unicorn Aim VCT invested £1.5 million in this recently completed fundraising."

Nice 100k buy at 22p today reported late, plus two other buys of just over 40k each.

Certainly keen accumulation going on (including you pinkfoot1, welcome from me too!).

[pinkfoot1] 18/7/2016 20:27

Thanks

This in my view is a real opportunity.The team have been to hell and back with it but now well funded,market moving in their direction and the sector is in good nick.

With a solid customer base,there will be plenty of sector based companies who will want to acquire-I reckon 2019/2020 will be the exit so hold on for the ride.

[longshanks] 18/7/2016 20:01

I am so disappointed. Welcome to the board.

[pinkfoot1] 18/7/2016 19:22

Don't get too excited-I have been hoovering up stock for the last two weeks but there appears to be another couple of buyers.This looks very cheap to me and very tightly held.I have a 12 month target of 50p

[regandharry5] 18/7/2016 18:10

£4 a share will do me nicely, but we live in the real world, don't we?.

[longshanks] 18/7/2016 16:30

Bought another 5K myself. Online limits are back to just 15 shares available!

I suspect we will have another filled trade showing later/tomorrow morning. Our buyer shows no sign of slowing up. My fantasy is that Brembo are sneakily trying to get a foot in the door before making a bid at £4/share!

EDIT: a filled trade at 23p declared
EDIT2: and another filled trade at 22p declared

Interesting times

[longshanks] 18/7/2016 14:03

Yes - accumulation still going on: I can see 25p being very achievable now in the short term.

More news will propel this into the 30's.

[rivaldo] 18/7/2016 13:38

93,000 shares bought today at 22p or just under, including a 50k at 22p.

And online I can sell 100,000 at 21p, but only buy a maximum 25k at 22p.

No Skyfall from Brexit, says Bond's Aston Martin boss as he cracks on with expansion plans



.....He has referred to his ambitious turnaround strategy as 'sh*t or bust'......

[longshanks] 15/7/2016 12:17

Yes. Don't know the difference between Hargreaves Lansdown and Hargreaves Hale...

[condom2] 15/7/2016 12:08

I think you mean HH.Which has a large insto arm.

[longshanks] 15/7/2016 10:06

My guess is that it is HL increasing their stake: they have been big fans for a while.

[condom2] 15/7/2016 09:38

Probably an insto buying

[rivaldo] 15/7/2016 07:53

There's been five 100k trades and one 107k in the last 3 days. I'm pretty sure at least 4 of those are buys, and maybe even the other one too. certainly some decent accumulation going on.

[regandharry5] 15/7/2016 07:21

Another 100K late trade

[longshanks] 14/7/2016 16:44

Yay - looks like I got 10K from the order I placed for 21K at 20.75.

[longshanks] 14/7/2016 16:32

The answer: AutoQuest in the U.S.

They no longer list obp on the website - but obp still have ST products listed on their website....so I will keep them here for now. ST no longer list their "brake kit partners" either - but interestingly state that users should look for the ST logo on the bell (i.e. the part provided by the brake kit supplier).

[longshanks] 14/7/2016 16:05

No. Don't take it personally - but that is a really poor guess Condom2: Litchfield have been a distributor for at least 6 years.

[condom2] 14/7/2016 16:03

Litchfield ?

[longshanks] 14/7/2016 15:51

Just noticed that they have a new distributor listed on the ST website. I have added it to the header.

Pop quiz: which one?

100 brownie points to the first to guess right.

[longshanks] 14/7/2016 15:45

Not really Cantor's fault. I could see that there was a tight market - I was greedy going for 20.75p; it would have filled easily at 21p.

I should get 5 or 10K filled at that price and besides I have plenty anyway.

[condom2] 14/7/2016 15:25

That's Cantors for you !
