Big week coming up here 03.12.2024 for results..

Is the dividend covered, or is it going to get a haircut further depressing the share price..?

CRDA posted strong results, a well covered dividend but the share price went straight into reverse on the sector outlook despite reasonable financials in November..

China facility results will be interesting, could it be an entry opportunity soon..?

H1 2024 net debt GBP49.8M including cash of 28.5M
H1 2023 net debt of 5.3M including cash of 38.4M

Nice yield at c7% now..?

Hi, LLB. I'm not in yet but, like you, wondering when the cycle turns for this one. It has been one heck of a decline in the share price.

Analysts see a much better 2025: 72.5p v 59p for this year. What p/e do you put on a company that is now more obviously cyclical?

The share price has seen an amazing long term decline. A TO? Maybe. The assets are only worth something if the product they make is. I want to know more about the competition and what percent of the market is covered by their patents that actually stop competitors selling in those end uses. In fact what percent does the competition have? How has that changed over time? Dos the competition spend less or more for each unit of factory production? The level of innovation in Victrex needs to increase with new, high volume, patented products.

The share price is at its lowest for decades I think, especially in real terms. I think everything hangs on the next set of results. If they are disappointing or the dividend is at risk then I think that will firm up the view of a company in decline and the price will drop further. In the early days the former ICI staff did a brilliant job job of developing the technology but I fear the post buyout CEO treated the company as a cash cow and didn’t recognise that the only thing that made it special was its technology.

#Dax1803, we will have to keep an eye on the shareholders register to see who adds/reduces or comes in for a nibble..

I have waited here for the China plant build to complete and come online with the CAPEX drain finished, that has coincided with the share price at a low, and interest rates starting to come off their highs..

The dividend could be under threat so the next trading update 05.12.2024 and FY results will be interesting reading..

Equity share prices can always go lower, so unless someone start buying there is not much to stop the slide near term..

VCT are a relative small operation in the industrial chemicals/products sector, perhaps INEOS /CRDA are running a slide rule over them at this price..?

Watching closely to the FY results, sub 1000 does look value for the 6% yield which has been maintained for some time now, BUT the 13.42 pence DPS looked vulnerable with the 3.1 EPS, whereas H1-2023 was covered 3* over, all the metrics were negative H1-24 vs 23 so a cut could be incoming, the share price is forecasting the same..?

CAPEX is mostly done now for the new China plant so hoping to see some sales and earnings as it ramps up..

The market is pricing in dividend cuts, I think. The yield is ridiculous.

The share price is back to early 2010 levels simply in nominal terms.

Yes there has certainly been a massive, contiguous decline inn the share prices for quite a few years now. I think it started roughly when the former ex ICI CEO left and was replaced by a new guy. The man who runs Invibio seems only to have ever worked for Victrex and the old ICI management must all have retired by now. Time for the shareholders to lobby for some new, experienced management I think.

Do we know if anyone has tried to take them over? The share price is lower than for many years. In real terms after inflation I think it was higher in the 2000s. If no takeover bids at this price then it suggests those in the know in their industry think the current valuation is not low…..

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. - - -
