I wouldn't spend too much time or effort pondering Caspar's brokers note. The results are next week and the proof of the pudding will be available then. However I do think that the broker's note may bode well for the results. Perhaps he knows something we don't!

A few substantial buys today suggest a newspaper or two might be reporting on that broker note to give it a further lift.

[pbutterworth1] 16/3/2017 17:12

Mmmm not sure about Caspar. Need something more...

[she-ra] 16/3/2017 17:08

That broker note should have come with a wealth warning.

[fez77] 16/3/2017 16:46

Lets face it - its been a good day for XAR, and a good day for us - its long suffering shareholders!

...until a non-believer shows up?

[fez77] 16/3/2017 16:13

Perhaps we should just be thankful that someone has faith...............

I'd very much like to see Canaccord's research justifying their 1000p target....

"Dow Jones Newswire - 16/3/17:

Canaccord Genuity analyst Caspar Trenchard starts coverage of Xaar (XAR.LN) with a buy rating and target of 1,000p, well in excess of the current price, saying the printing technology company is in a strong position to negotiate changes in the printing market, with expertise in areas such as thin film printing. Xaar also has a strong balance sheet, with cash equal to a quarter of its market cap and good cash generation, he notes."

Ah yes...Hogg resigned as deputy governor of the Bank of England in 2017, after failing to disclose family links to Barclays. Suppose it's all been forgotten.

[meijiman] 16/3/2017 14:32

Mrs Hogg -think she's English....

[farmergeorge] 16/3/2017 14:03

meijiman, which posh bird was that? The one who is about to leave is American.

[meijiman] 16/3/2017 13:56

Caspar is from a very posh background and thus has a superior knowledge of what will happen in the future-possibly. There again the posh bird at the BofE got the tick tack for telling porkies.

[farmergeorge] 16/3/2017 13:28

So, why has everyone eles missed this? Does Caspar have exceptional foresight? It's all about creating market activity, which these guys feed on. Anyhow, I'm a holder so no problem with some 'positive' news.

Ha ha - spoke too soon?

Interesting rise today. We are topping the Leader-board!! Can't say that happens very often! Hope it's some foretaste of the full year results due on Wednesday 22nd March 2017.

[stoxx67] 09/3/2017 08:46

agree with post 2900

there had better be a good explanation or better still good results on 22nd.

the CEO was supposedly well versed in this industry... the share price tells a different story.

[meijiman] 08/3/2017 19:37

Ha-well she definitely can't be blamed. Hope she has gone in with her eyes open.

[georgerv] 08/3/2017 18:35

The new CFO doesn't start until 2 May 2017. This information is in the first paragraph of the RNS dated 24th Jan 2017.

[meijiman] 08/3/2017 17:29

This Chinese bird can't be blamed. If I was the Chairman I would get rid of the ceo-hopefully he is in the last chance saloon. ~beats me how you can be in a job when your share price has collapsed and the market is at record highs.

Perhaps Xerox corporation will take them out?

Or Hewlett-Packard? See:-

The new CFO was only appointed on 24 Jan this year. She has been in the job less than 2 months.

I would be happy for take over if we get a significant premium to the current price. Ideally if we can a few companies fighting over us, that would push the price even higher.

[gleach23] 08/3/2017 16:18

Not currently invested but sorely tempted at these levels.

SP seems to have slumped since TU last December when they said H2 revenue would likely match H1.


Apr 16 - announce transformational and ambitious new strategy to achieve £220m revenue by 2020
Aug 16 - interims show H1 revenue lower than previous year but company states it expects H2 revenue growth vs H1
Dec 16 - TU indicates that H2 revenue likely to be in line with H1 and focus switched to in line earnings


That's not a very credible trio of announcements within the space of 8 months imo.
