Tasty video just posted re ZYT's new Multi-Touch Curved Touchscreen Gaming Unit - I have no idea if there's anything comparable out there, but it look great to me:

Back through 300, and the volume is good

[rivaldo] 20/7/2015 14:19

Decent buying today, and sells getting s premium to the bid price. Perhaps an overhang has now been cleared.

"Projected Capacitive Technology Enables @TABLE from Videofonika

Tuesday 07th July 2015 01:29pm
Projected Capacitive Technology (PCT™) utilised to provide a durable and responsive multi-touch table with an enhanced user experience

Leading developer and manufacturer of advanced projected capacitive touch screen solutions, Zytronic, has supported Videofonika in the creation of their latest touchscreen solution, the @TABLE™. Working with Polish distribution partner, Elatec GmbH, this new interactive multimedia touch table delivers a sleek, contemporary and lightweight device which is ideally suited for innovative showrooms, modern museums and applications in the retail and entertainment industries.

Zytronic’s Projected Capacitive Technology (PCT™) was selected by Videofonika after a careful study of other competing touch screen technologies. Key to this decision was the responsiveness of Zytronic’s multi-touch sensor and controller and the robust and water resistant nature of the touchscreen.

The @TABLE uses a 42” multi-touch sensor which is fitted with antiglare glass and a printed black border with special icons for rotation and NFC sensors. The custom glass includes sealed joints within the metal chassis which makes the table waterproof. This feature adds to the ruggedness of the device, allowing it to be safely installed in high footfall public spaces, such as restaurants, hotel lobbies or even shopping malls.

Videofonika provide a selection of software application templates which enable @TABLE to be applied to different settings and environments such as trade shows, digital signage, e-banking, and as a help aid for medical applications. A dedicated browser interface enables multiple users to browse the Internet simultaneously on the same touch table.

Sales and marketing manager at Videofonika, Jakub Boni commented on working with Zytronic’s touchscreen technology for @TABLE: “We examined a number of different touchscreen solutions before going with Zytronic. What attracted us was the reliable multi-touch performance of their PCT technology and the customised anti-glare glass which ideally suited our requirements for the @TABLE”."

Good to see a pre-open buy at 290p already today.....EDIT - though evidently not always a good precursor of things to come :o))

[bookbroker] 01/7/2015 14:45

Cash is king, they should sit tight for now, this is a very cash generative co. currently, balances will be north of ten miln. at the year end results, difficult to see acquisition, so organic investment the best bet!

[kalkanite] 01/7/2015 13:53

Anyone here go to the AGM? Would like to know what management are thinking of doing with its cash pile.

Cash probably earning 1% interest? Would be a good idea to use it to buy out this seller, purely because buying back its shares at this price would be a great use of that money if there are no other plans for it.

[crystball] 01/7/2015 12:01

Have been waiting a long time to buy ZYT so have finally come on board. RSI was likely to be at a turning point, the stock being oversold. The dividend yield is attractive with a very healthy cash pile. Prospects look good.

[paulypilot] 01/7/2015 00:44

I topped up again today at 274p. This stock seems to do quite predictable swings up & down, for no apparent reason. Fundamentals seem excellent.

DYOR as usual.

Regards, Paul.

[igoe104] 30/6/2015 13:49

Had a bit of spare cash from divi payments in my ISA so I`ve topped again.

[glaws2] 30/6/2015 13:35

According to the Annual report they are fully hedged against both USD and EUR for 'a minimum of 12 months ahead'.

[salpara111] 30/6/2015 12:38

I am guessing that a lot of companies that have trading exposure to the euro zone are going to be "managing expectations" lower in light of current Euro weakness.
Not a criticism of ZYT, I have held in the past and may well do so again in the future but right now cash is king until the insane Greeks finish their soap opera.

Just noticed this, don`t think its been posted before.

Zytronic's Projected Capacitive Technology Selected for Car Park Payment Terminal from Newpark Solutions


Newpark’s Fusion GTS benefits from Zytronic’s industry leading touch technology to create a rugged all-weather solution

Leading developer and manufacturer of advanced touch screen solutions, Zytronic, working with distribution partner Display Technology Ltd, has contributed its Projected Capacitive Technology (PCT™) technology to a new terminal from car park solutions expert, Newpark Solutions. Newpark have made use of Zytronic’s touch sensors on a new payment and validation terminal for parking and access control systems.

The Newpark Fusion GTS provides a ticketless method for users to pay for their parking, be it either pay and display or pay on foot. Using a high definition automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) camera for access control, the Fusion GTS can be operated with or without barriers. The ANPR cameras ensure that the terminal will have an accurate record of a vehicle’s entry and exit, without the need for tickets. The user merely selects the payment method or duration of parking using the integrated touch screen. By eliminating tickets, the Fusion GTS not only reduces the mechanical complexity of moving parts and the associated maintenance but also reduces the need for the customer to access remote assistance due to lost or damaged tickets.

Vandal resistant Zytronic 17-inch ZYBRID® touch sensors were chosen for use in the Newpark self-service terminal as they combine proven year-round, outdoor reliability and sensitive touch performance, even when operated with gloved hands. By combining as many functions as possible through the touchscreen, the overall size of the Fusion GTS was kept to a minimum.

Sales Marketing Director at Zytronic, Ian Crosby commented: “We are delighted that Newpark Solutions selected Zytronic to provide touch screen technology for their innovative parking terminal. Our PCT touch sensors are widely used in unattended self-service applications and will ensure that operators of these terminals can be confident of a dependable, reliable performance and a competitive total cost of system ownership.”

£2.50 would be wonderful, I like a summer sale. I think there is still a seller out there depressing the share price and with long periods between announcements it leaves less experienced PIs to think up all sorts of reasons for a price decline.

IMV Zytronic is an excellent well run company which offers great value at the current price and as such is the only stock that I have purchased since Nov 2014.

Not sure if the May presentation has been posted on here, link below if you have not already read it.

[topvest] 28/6/2015 08:37

Patience required. This is a good company at a reasonable price and solid yield. It's good value at this price. I won't be reducing until £4.

[thorpematt] 27/6/2015 15:32

I have been holding since 2nd half of 2013. I find the share price lags during periods of no news. ZYT is not one to trckle much news and thus plenty of re-traces are to be expected.


The growth here is not spectacular but it has been steady. I like the management here and am happy as a long term holder. FWIW I think we might see 250p as some point in the near future and I would definitely be looking to load up some more if that were the case...time will tell.

Chart below show an uptrend since mid 2103. But it also details a fair amount of variation in pricing (despite no significant changes in outlook or position). The stock is not the most heavily traded so large swings can be made on IIs buying or selling. IMO PIs can benefit from these swings if disciplined.

Such price falls mean nothing on a thinly traded stock. I doubt very much anything has changed since the May interim results.

For example, when AMO fell to 80p that was an absolute gift.

[bookbroker] 27/6/2015 09:59

Never look a gift-horse in the mouth, it'll only bite!

[owenski] 27/6/2015 09:51

agreed with shauney

just selling of an illiquid stock that moves fast in either direction

being out and about, it's quite interesting to see how prolific touch screens in all formats are becoming - the ones used for public access.

friday's move look to be a gift

just my opinion

[shauney2] 27/6/2015 08:40

It suggested the same between the February "ahead" trading update and the positive interims in May.It means nothing other than people selling.

[bookbroker] 26/6/2015 20:41

This weakness suggests very slow growth or a negative trading statement, still the co. has plenty of cash and make a nice bolt-on!

[metier9] 26/6/2015 19:50

I think I saw them tweet they have opened their Japanese office recently or was that old news?
