I'll take 20.00 pounds for mine!

I hope its time has arrived.

It hasn't been for a number of years now.

An excellent stock to own in any portfolio for both, growth and dividends.

Berenberg raises Victrex to 'buy' - price target 2,090

Decent timing!

VCT share price is now at more than 10 year low. I am buying first time for the recovery and the long term hold - with steady dividends. A safe bet that could be taken over due to its high barrier of entry advanced technology applied in every area of life. - - -

Net cash position and still making a decent profit. Already halved since its highs.

Glad I sold!

The companies attitude to retail investors is appalling.

[shieldbug] 14/6/2023 07:08

Anyone manage to get on to the call this morning?

[t-trader] 14/6/2023 07:02

Yes, very disappointing

OxmanThe only one I know was back in 2011 but nothing I know of now. This was from an article back then.The prospect of Victrex becoming a bid target was highlighted yesterday as positive broker comments helped the high-tech plastics company to surge up the mid-tier index.The Lancashire-based group was driven forwards 45p to 1,395p, with traders pointing to the decision by Goldman Sachs to name it as the broker's "top pick" in the mid-cap chemicals sector. Initiating coverage on Victrex with a "buy" recommendation and a target price of 1,830p, Goldman described it as an "attractive acquisition" target because of its "unique technology and customer relationships".Recommending the group toinvestors, the broker's analysts said it "presents an excellent opportunity to buy a consistently high-returning company", and they also praised its peers Croda and AZ Electronics, saying that all three "produce specialised products and operate in niche,

x2 director buys, small amount IMO
CEO shamefully refuses to put his hand in his pocket, expecting freebie shares no doubt.

[adrunkenmarcus] 10/5/2023 07:29

Full disclosure: I held October 2015 to March 2023. I should’ve sold in 2018 when the shares had doubled!

[its the oxman] 10/5/2023 07:01

Thx Ch1ck. Has there ever been names in the frame re speculation on who might be interested in bidding for Vct.

[justiceforthemany] 09/5/2023 20:23

More than the CEO who should be sacked. Or resign if he has any shame.

[ch1ck] 09/5/2023 14:53

How many share does Justice own?

[justiceforthemany] 09/5/2023 10:15

CEO is on thin ice now. His shareholding is disgraceful and we have let the board know this. We also find it hard to believe a bid has not come in for the company.
Net Cash.

[its the oxman] 09/5/2023 10:15

Should of been braver and bought more. Recovering a bit.

[ch1ck] 09/5/2023 09:43

OXMANCHINA, INDIA AND THE REST OF THE WORLD REBOUND.Everyone expects an up tick in production and China is a massive consumer of commodities however the bounce back has been more subdued. A rising tide raises all ships so to speak. VCT has just reported lower sales but higher sale prices this means that a recovery would push profits to new levels

[trident5] 09/5/2023 09:24

Mega projects is a bit of a misnomer - they've been minor for a very long time. Does look a bid prospect though, but has done so for several years.

[its the oxman] 09/5/2023 09:04

Opportunistic first purchase today for me c.1500p. Would appreciate if any holders could elaborate on significance of China start up , the mega projects/revenue, and or if this co is ever likely to be bid for. Hoping fall today is overdone , 4% div helps as well.

Solid company with multiple income streams which balance out fluctuations in demand.The ability to post a profit despite the fall in demand in the aero and electronics business for me is a strong indicator it's time to get more.The fall is way overdone and is an excellent opportunity to grab these at a discount to fair value.Most pundits have called the last quarter the bottom of the down turn (Bloomberg)Picked up more
