The new CEO seems to be delivering, I made a handsome profit here before and may well get back in for another turn of the wheel.

Yes I agree, UNG are a small Company at present they have a product that works well and people want. Word will spread I feel IMHO the share price will move North.

[boadicea] 25/11/2014 08:33

Progress like this should help us get noticed by the market.

[spud] 25/11/2014 08:00

Another great contract! Well done management - It finally looks like things are turning the corner..spud

At a 9x p.e this is finally starting to register on the radar of value investors.

The penny brigade are selling to the savvy imo.

Onwards & upwards.

David Stredder is quite a shrewd cookie. Glad to have him on board. Not sure where you gentleman are based by he organises an investor’s evening on the third Monday of every Month in Beckenham (South – East London). Have been to two of them and both were enjoyable.

Many thanks Lanz, I have read the short article I would feel that he bought 6+m shares in UNG because he feels UNG are a growth Company for the future.

Is this who you are looking for dealit?

Yes large holding indeed, also yesterday the following announcement:-
Universe (AIM:UNG.L) was notified today that, following a purchase of ordinary shares of 1 pence each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares"), Mr. David Stredder is now interested in 6,650,000 Ordinary Shares representing 3.02% of the issued share capital of the Company.
Who is David Stredder but nice to see.
UNG are IMHO progressing nicely, my research is telling me that the Owners and Insiders own about 100m shares which leaves about 120m shares owned by private investors and MM`s. UNG have a ROCE ratio of 65.75 which is a high return indeed and bodes well for the future all IMHO.

In the past 6 months Downing has gone from holding 38,545,560 (18%) shares to 46,335,163 a little over 21%.

[spud] 18/11/2014 15:25

Downing now disclosing over 21% @ 46.3m

That's some holding..

Yes a nice update. I assume this project was factored into forecasts but encouraging that new tech has apparently bedded in well. Bodes well for the Valero contract etc so we're hopefully on plan to meet or beat the bumper H2 forecast. Time will tell...

[spud] 17/11/2014 08:00

Great news & impressive timing Eezy. Would love to know the £ impactability on the bottom line though.spud

[janeann] 17/11/2014 07:23

well your timing was pretty good;

Universe (AIM: UNG.L), a leading developer and supplier of point of sale, payment and on-line loyalty systems, is pleased to announce the successful completion of a major roll-out of its a new point of sale ('POS'), back office ('BOS') systems and Gemini Payment Service ('GPS') across 228 sites for Motor Fuel Group ('MFG'), the UK's second largest independent petrol retailer

[eezymunny] 14/11/2014 10:28

Had a few of these for the EezyMunny portfolio FWIW

Last time the directors where issued share options, when it came to exercise these options the share hit it´s target price. Just look at the spike to 8p last year and now back down again to the current 5p.

[red army] 28/10/2014 22:28

And there was me thinking that 12p was do able in 12 months.

[spud] 28/10/2014 21:41

Agreed. I'd be more than disappointed if the price had 'only' risen to that level that far out...spud

[loganair] 28/10/2014 19:37

Boadicea - normally means the closing price. Personally I think 9.5p in 3 years is far to low, maybe 12p as 12p I think is an easily achievable share price within 3 years.

[boadicea] 28/10/2014 17:41

Interesting figure, 9.5p.
It seems to couple medium term optimism with anticipation of some market resistance at the psychologically important 10p level.
However, I would be reasonably happy with that outcome while, of course, hoping for better.

Just one query - Does the share price have to be at or above 9.5p on the third anniversary or is an unmaintained spike up to 9.5p before that time sufficient to qualify?

[dealit] 28/10/2014 17:25

Interesting incentive for the directors 3,903,000 share options:-

The Options have an exercise price of 5.5p and may be exercised only if the Company's share price is at or above 9.5 pence per share within three years of the award. The Options expire on the tenth anniversary of grant.

[spud] 22/10/2014 19:48

All sells being bought. We still have a very active accumulator putting a floor under the price. I might just have to buy some more if this continues :-)spud

[spud] 03/10/2014 09:07

And possible hardware adoption by the other major retailers..spud

[cockerhoop] 02/10/2014 22:57

Encouraged that Morrisons appear to have gone with the 'Match & More' loyalty card which should ensure they remain a major customer of HTEC.
