Hmmm, doesn't get busy here does it?....

Well I don't expect things to be great for them for a while but I hope with quite a substantial pile of cash they are well placed to weather the storm and hopefully return to making operating profits of £5m a year in a couple of years time.

I don't know about Whitehall. I've not heard of them before and you're never going to find out much about them being as they are based in Panama. They could just be an investor or maybe they are more like private equity and will bid for the whole lot.

Are Whitehall just an investor? Are they likely to buy a whole company? Problem for Synectics are a few fold including oil industry decline, bus security loss of contract and general lack of customers investing. Casinos have been their saviour up to now. This is all my opinion. I have held these for many years and hope I am completely wrong.

I bought a few more of these the other day. I think in normal times they are worth at least £2 a share and with a strong balance sheet they should be able to survive until things recover.

There is also the possibility of a bid from Whitehall.

Bought a few more recently - seems undervalued given recent recovery in the oil market - but spread is a killer

Results today in line with expectations but price down - possibly because some didn't like the outlook that profits this year would be flat. However, on re-reading that carefully they are saying flat after an extra £500,000 investment in R&D implying an extra £500,000 in profits on sales to balance that.

Some recent news of contract wins hxxp://securitymiddleeast.com/2017/12/15/synectics-wins-contracts-offshore-oil-security-saudi-arabia-iran/

Edit: just realised the story was originally published sept 15, so a little less recent than the date on that re-run article

Going by the last few years looks like e can expect a trading update this week, will be interesting to see if some of the contract wins earlier in the year boost the growth numbers or if it's largely the same trajectory ...

I think it's just an illiquid small cap stock. When i took a relatively small opening postion I had to be put through to a dealer to get within quoted spread. Average volume is only 10k.

The narrative within the interims was pretty positive and I can't see any material change in forecast. The company seems to hsve grown nicely in the last few years so I'm happy to tuck these away.

[lemonjar] 30/11/2017 23:32

It looks like it could be a buying opportunity, i like the way the company was able to diversify away from oil & gas, but I'm uncomfortable jumping without knowing what caused that big retrace. Its kinda weird, I can't find any news or anything to explain it.

If you find out spooky, let me know

[spooky] 22/11/2017 11:31

What's going on here?

[dekle] 13/10/2017 08:49

Creeping up all the time. A small trade makes a big impact. Still a long way to go before getting back to previous highs. Wonder if someone like ADT will take an interest?

[tdog1975] 08/9/2017 11:37

Mmmm, should I buy some more ???

[mmc71] 18/8/2017 11:52

The spread is 215-230 but just managed to buy some at 219.95. The quote when selling is 216.05.

[dekle] 20/7/2017 17:41

Wonder if IC will tip them tomorrow?

[rhomboid] 18/7/2017 10:23

Excellent set of results this morning, order book up 28% since Y/E is v positive, I also like they've tripled ROCE so quality metrics are moving strongly in the right direction, this one seems to fly under the radar rather 🤔

[red5] 11/4/2017 18:50

nice news story about more business wins lets hope it continues

[livewireplus] 18/11/2016 06:37

I'd suggest it needs to announce some more contract wins before end of this year to provide another leg-up in order to maintain overall upward moves in share price that has taken place in 2016.
