Maybe celeritas! But every schoolboy knows tomorrow never comes!

It's like the unexpected hanging paradox. It'll be on a day this week, but guaranteed to be a surprise.

[chester9] 30/1/2024 16:03

No one likes a Friday unless running for cover, hopefully next 2

Venture Life have confirmed the trading update will be this week.
Not sure which day it will be as yet.

[chester9] 30/1/2024 13:54

Let's hope they are right

[mfhmfh] 30/1/2024 13:30

£280.5k buy?

Does someone know something before likely trading update tomorrow?

[eagle eye] 29/1/2024 15:42

I contacted VLG Friday asking about the trading update.
We are now blessed with a new investment relations person, Silvia Feng.
When I get an intelligible reply, I will post again.

From Alliance Pharma's trading update today - hopefully a good sign for VLG's Kelo-Cote production:

"Continued strong consumer demand, particularly in China, drove significant recovery in Kelo-Cote franchise revenues in H2, leading to FY23 revenues of £63.2m, up 29% CER (FY22: £50.0m)"

End of Jan

[lammylover] 16/1/2024 11:06

Sorry posted on wrong board...not sure when TU is out, assume by end of Jan

[lammylover] 16/1/2024 11:05

Trade update on Thursday 18th Jan 24

[chester9] 16/1/2024 07:54

Yes in January but no published date. Happy to be updated.

[bagpuss67] 16/1/2024 07:38

Are we due a TU soon?

[parttime] 12/1/2024 17:34

It's felt like there's been a large seller in background for a while, hopefully this is a sign he's almost done or finished entirely.

[bagpuss67] 12/1/2024 16:01

Looking perky now.

[qs99] 12/1/2024 16:00

First bit of proper movement for a while, DYOR, but something looks "up" with this move on a Friday pm! DYOR

[qs99] 12/1/2024 14:58

creeping up, last year trading update was end of Jan....DYOR

[celeritas] 11/1/2024 14:03

BioSyent has been shipping to wholesalers for about 6 weeks now, there's loads of new markets for Gelclair to go at, it's still in the foothills.

[bagpuss67] 11/1/2024 08:33

Topped up here.. Been following what I hope is smart money. Fingers crossed for a good TU and ongoing change of sentiment to small caps

[lammylover] 21/12/2023 17:16

Sphere - the problem with waiting for the update is the price will be marked up a load on the first day if results are half decent and you'll miss the opportunity..

Inflation already coming down (apart from Minimum Wage rise baked in for April), interest rates on debt should fall fast next Summer, global recovery in sales??

Products in self care section, which is mainly non discretionary spend.

There's never going to be a cheaper time to buy AIM stocks in my view. Loads of bargains to be had. The small PIs will eventually return, as bank / building societies rates start to drop and they are looking for better returns.....but by then the best bargains will be gone.

Just my thoughts for what they are worth..

[celeritas] 21/12/2023 15:10

Well, someone seems eager to get hold of them.. Slater being one of them bodes well..

[sphere25] 21/12/2023 12:18

More big blocks going through with a 1.5m and 2 lots of 675k.

After the upping of their stake from 16.03% to 17.07% on Tuesday, is that Slater adding more today?

There was a little burst in TIG too that correlates to this buying. I don't know if they have made their mind up about what happens in 2024 with this sort of buying. Maybe the time has come for them to start upping their equity exposure and next year will provide generous returns?

It looks like like at least three funds have been buying here and it has still barely moved from the recent low. That just shows how heavy the sellers are still sat weighing on these sorts of smaller cap shares.

So there is an expectation of £6.8m free cash flow for this financial year and £8.0m next year versus a market cap of £43m. They had net debt of £15.3m which is expected to fall to £11.3m at year end.

I am not here to get in too deep. That is for others to do, but I am watching in to see how things progress because the market could get behind this, especially if the likes of Slater are making some firm moves here.

If the buying continues and the chart makes bullish moves, I will jump on board. However, this company has form in cautionary updates too. Ideally want to see a trading update first. That provides some level of reassurance, even if for a period of two to three months.

It can be enough time for a substantial re-rating now, especially as the wider market is making more bullish moves, with a trickle down effect into the likes of VLG.

I'm sat here typing, and the post is just ballooning again, so I will try and keep this as short as possible.

If this level of buying continues, the market might not wait for the update and it pops higher, but if there are still bigger lines of shares to clear, it will sit here and the market will wait for that update in January. VLG have form in patchy updates so the market could wait for more reassurance.

I don't know the exact mechanics of how it moves, but I would prefer to see the trading update first.

Deliver the goods and this gets re-rated.

I suspect that will be the theme next year with the small caps.

All imo
DYOR

At this rate our seller should be cleared out soon, those are some hefty trades for VLG.

[chester9] 21/12/2023 07:51

Venture life confirmed update will be in January as usual, normal at end of Jan. In VOX markets interview in September. Slater still topping up
