I don't know if Amazon are updating differently on products bought numbers but there's quite a lift in products like Earol,Ultra Dex, Balance activ and a few others.

Ultra Dex...10K+ bought multiple times
Earol 20K+ bought multiple times
Balance Activ 4K+ bought in past month

Even the thrush cream is already at 1k per month..

So 42p was too much to ask for. Not even asking for alot.

It looked like it was going to go through 40p. There was definitely a big buy order in the market that moved the price up, but then a barrage of sell orders hit at 39.5p to exhaust that order.

Traders spotted it and started selling - the price starts to move down. I caved and gave in too - you can't fight this right now. I'm okay taking little losses or paying the spread where need be.

The price is now back near the start to where Slater has been adding. Is that fund picking up these 100k blocks today around that 36.5p mark today? It clearly needs to hold this level because the sellers are relentless - they just do not stop.

Forced selling and a mix of apprehension on the update likely explains the continued moves here.

Playing it safe now and wait for the update. Too many cautious updates out there - doesn't fill you with confidence. Let's see a firm update to prove the sellers wrong.

The forum here have probably called it. Slater must be playing for an eventual take out. Well, alot of our market is just sat beaten down waiting to be picked off.

Roll on the update!

C3, it's only a matter of time, imagine how cheap vlg is in dollars.

any read across from t/o of alliance?

The 'Heath and Him' range has now been launched and is available for sale.
All four products were available at Holland & Barrett in Southampton yesterday.

1. Heath and Him 'Andropause' for age 40+
2. Heath and Him 'Andropause' for age 55+ (also 'Amazon's Choice')
3. Heath and Him 'Desire'
4. Health and Him 'Sleep'

Still early days, but initial reviews on Amazon are positive.

[celeritas] 03/1/2025 16:05

That'll likely be Slaters clearing up more from the seller.

[lammylover] 03/1/2025 15:40

Looks like there is still an overhang to clear - 147,400 shares just gone through at mid point = 39.5p. Assume its a market maker to market maker transaction.

I’d be interested in the recurring revenue from the subscription service they have direct. If anyone knows how to get data in the app downloads?

[eagle eye] 02/1/2025 16:27

Broker revenue forecast for FY25 is £59.4m, but nothing has been added for Health and Her's which could add up to £7m to that.

Slater Investments has been a consistent buyer and now holds 22.1%.

Lots to look forward to in 2025 and the derisory PER rating suggests plenty of upside here IMHO.

The trading update for FY 24 should be end January.

[sphere25] 02/1/2025 16:08

Market buying abit on that?

Someone has cleared out 40p (UPDATE 16:20 They have found some shares at full ask of 40p). There was no quote prior. Nothing available to buy.

Someone has then had to pay through the offer of 40p for just 25k, paying 40.4p.

Maybe a delayed Slater effect. Looks like a move into the 40's is on its way.

42p to sell? Greedy?

Health & Her Perimenopause Supplement for Women selling well on Amazon and is 'Amazon's Choice'.

4000+ sold in the last month at £20 a go generated revenue of £80K last month.

x 12 gives annual revenue of £960K

Good stuff indeed.

A great little brand H&H and fits with Women's Health positioning, but less sure about manufacturing synergies since range consists of supplements, so not within VLG's capabilities. Even so, a nice brand in a growing space.

[celeritas] 30/12/2024 16:23

VLG has plenty of production space to bring many more products in house, hence why they keep buying the odd co now and again while also developing new products.. This drastically cuts costs along with VLG's distribution network.

Looking at Health & Her Limited these synergies will play out nicely in 2025 which should move H&H into a healthy net profit.
VLG do have a habit of picking these companies up then waiting for net leverage to fall to about 1X before going in again.

Slater can see the plan, no doubt he's spoken to directors with the end game being VLG sold with an extensive package of self care products, all under one banner.

[sphere25] 30/12/2024 14:17

A little tick higher, but important.

And now we find out if this is going to break higher.

The offer at 38p has been closed to buying for days, no shares available. A negotiated 10k buy on Friday was the only buy at 38p. That moved one (out of the two) market maker that was sat on the offer at 38p.

Another single negotiated buy this afternoon of 9k has alleviated the other market maker on the offer at 38p, to allow the offer to shift from 38p to 38.5p.

Once more there are two market makers on the offer at 38.5p and the offer is closed to buying, negotiated only. In the past with VLG, this could indicate the beginning of a move higher. Have to see if any shares become available at 38.5p, but whoever (might be Slater) has gobbled up those big blocks might have cleared out sellers to allow a little pop.

They haven't disclosed. They are still in the market wanting to buy in size.

I only bought here because of that sizeable mopping up or it was a wait for the update. Ideally want to be sure and see that update (maybe overly cautious?), but if this buyer has cleared out shares at these price points, then it might pop higher so it seemed worth a few rather than chasing.

Maybe some are waiting for the update. There is no interest here, as per most out there.

In the past they'd have been like "Wow! Slater is adding more. That is a huge stake build" and come flying in to buy, even if the 3% threshold had been crossed. Nowadays it is just like "Meh! Who cares. It's a pants market...can it even go higher? Who cares! Better to just sit it out".

Should have been miserable and not even tried! Ha

Slater buying more trying to clear sellers?

He isn't waiting around. He is the main man, must know better than most.

I'm just watching to see if he can clear the sellers.

Looks worth a viewing

well said all, a nice RNS to see confidence in VLG, but as you also say, they have disappointed on the downside before. I'll wait for next TU before taking a new position. Merry Christmas. and DYOR

[eagle eye] 19/12/2024 12:29

Two months contribution from new acquisition could add £1m to FY 24 revenue and I don't think the broker forecast has made any provision for that.
Slater can't be adding on the basis of a short-term trade as VLG is too illiquid.
Happy Xmas to all shareholders and everyone at Venture Life.
Onwards and Upwards in 2025!

[sphere25] 19/12/2024 11:54

Bold moves by Slater to keep upping their stake here. News just out to say they have crossed 22% now.

Clearly that means there are big sellers on the other end which continue to drag the price down. Once more, not that it is a surprise in our markets.

But I am watching for a trade here. I think it is best to wait for the update though, because VLG are notoriously good with wobbly statements or downgrades.

So Slater are saying trading is in line and the future looks good. The rest of the market is selling down and saying....we are not sure about the short term trading here.

But watching in. It has been a nice one to trade regardless of the updates.

The update was the 1st February last year.

I'm just doing quick type ups here.

[camerongd53] 26/11/2024 17:45

Some suggest that VLG overpaid for the recent acquisition. My initial thought was that a full price was paid.
I bought the shares because I thought it was a well managed company with good prospects. I expect the directors have done good due diligence regarding the acquisition.

I am hopeful that the update which last year was on 1 Feb will give an update that the aquisition was a good buy. I anticipate no upward movment in the share price until the trading update

Investing isn't easy when you see virtues in a company and the share price heads in the opposite direction.
Being an investor is difficult at times and many people aren't cut out for it.
There were are few sellers this morning and market makers marked the price down to attract buyers and make their turn.
The price markdown attracted a few more sellers which wasn't helped by the chart looking rubbish.
Volume is light at less that 100K, so only £40K worth.
Investors have to balance risk vs opportunity, but in my eyes this looks cheap on a 2 to 3 year view, but what do I know. Mr Market has a view and currently it's different to mine.
As the saying goes 'If you don't know who you are, then the stock market is an expensive place to find out'.

[deanowls] 26/11/2024 08:11

When does it ever? There’s risk there but they’ve shown they can generate cash if needed and I expect that to continue. But that’s what makes a market.

[celeritas] 26/11/2024 01:26

Maybe but the market doesn't seem to agree.

[deanowls] 25/11/2024 18:14

I think you’ll be surprised. Usa launch not in the figures. If they get this right it will be a steal.

[celeritas] 25/11/2024 16:30

Same here Basem.. I think they have paid way too much and now debt which was coming down nicely is back at 1.7X.. There is a synergy with balance activ but it's not a good addition for me at that price.
