Joint broker appointed too here today, are the BOD expecting a bid and trying to shore up defences..? why have they done that..?

Have we found the bottom now..?

Could it be time to add, the dividend looks great value at the price and has been maintained for a few years at the current level.. :o)

#Shieldbug, I also noted CTY hold VCT in their portfolio, and still do last time I looked, so that is at least 1 trust..

I have an uncomfortably large position here which I bought as the share price dropped but well before it really dropped.

Having interrogated ChatGPT on the PEEK/PEAK market I feel comfortable that the product will remain in demand and that Victrex are not being crushed by the Chinese. In fact one of the two Chinese producers appears to have pulled out of PEEK production altogether. There do appear to be high barriers to entry here.

It looks to me as though they sold alot into flexible piping for deep sea hydro carbon extraction. That market tailed off a bit, hence the focus on the so called "mega trends".

In any case I am holding. Might even add.

Also I note that Job Curtis at City of London IT is holding some of this so presumably he thinks there is some potential still.

I'm in (as long as dividend yield is about 7%)....
CRODA said the other day that Chemical industry has now recovered from Covid-19 slump and this is the first year that its back to "normal" trading...
I think there is a cross over to VCT...
And VCT has a great dividend yield (if google is correct).

Lawrence, I would agree if the dividend were covered but what you are describing is is the basis of the hope that it will be in the future. I am already expecting that. But then you have the overlay of the general company decline. My concern is lack of innovation, competition, pressure on margins etc. many such effects are already evident. No doubt they must be working on some new applications, so there will be some good news, but here the question is whether their market share is growing. Fundamentally, are they becoming a just a plastic producer with lower margins etc etc

Dax1803, some good questions there, and I have the same on my list, IP is a concern specially in China as they do not respect patents, you have to partner with them and share IP to operate in the country IIRC so protection is compromised..

Dividends have been held flat for many years now, but not cut.

12.05.2025 - Further improvement in cash generation
Improved underlying operating cash conversion of 128% (H1 2024: 64%)
H1 2025 net debt £40.7M (H1 2024: £49.8M) (including cash of £25.4M after payment of FY 2024 final dividend (H1 2024: £28.5M
Further inventory reduction; £12.3M YoY reduction to £114.4M (H1 2024: £126.7M)
Lower cash capital expenditure at £8.6M (H1 2024: £21.8M) after investment phase completed..

So there are visible signs of progress here, I have opened a small starting position for the turnaround..

Lol, some nervous pi's on here. I guess that's to be expected with a 2 year downtrend.

Very often a trend change is preceeded by a large volume. Especially in well respected companies such as VCT. But wtfdik!I only bgt in here yesterday, so I may have rose tinted glasses on. Remember this went XD (13.4p) today too, so to finish positive is a good plus.

Let's see what happens over the next few weeks. This is certainly not a confirmed trend change!! Long way to go, but there may be some blue sky.

But the price dropped. Does that mean it was driven by selling?

Or perhaps vct will be taken out on the cheap.

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..?

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. - - -
