Depends what they are doing the CV on I reckon, ndn.
They may be including the SA variant for all we know.
Well all find out no doubt.
All the best.
Yes ndn. I meant to put that but hit the wrong button.
We will continue to monitor the performance of the Affimer reagents with future dominant variants as they become available to us. Since the Affimer reagents we use in Avacta's range of SARS-CoV-2 tests do not bind in the region of the spike protein where the dominant mutations appear, we do not anticipate that the performance of the tests will be affected.
8th March
20th .......just have this feeling
the meeting is to present the years numbers and news, and would occur covid or not . sure, it may have been delayed cos there is news imminent, but it's not true that having a meeting means there is news. If news is known that gives insiders an advantage it should be available, simple.
Where is Klaus' realistic, sunny outlook when you need it. Come back Klaus, all is forgiven.
The fact is, government has good visibility, Avacta employees have good visibility and the web designers have good visibility Given end of q1 (mid-summer, soon, a transformational quarter) have all been given, a " we are 70% they why thru, samples hard to get, final numbers expected in May etc etc could be provided to share holders today, no need to ambush market the morning of a meeting. For some reason that info is deemed unsuitable for the owners of the company.
avacta, great tech, great prospect, lousy communication unless there is a placing.
ho hum.
long term hold, tech is great.
£200’ ex China. Standard
What do you think if CE and CV lands, above £3??
We will also see some figures on some of the licensing deals, there might be a nice surprise in them.
I doubt his advisors, including FTI consulting, would provide guidance to deliver an investor presentation without any tangible LFT news. News which would be perceived as due.
Here’s hoping BITL, prepare for the worst, hope for the best
He could repeat that, but it’s been overdone in two Vox chats. Doing it again wouldn’t work out well, and the new investor community wouldn’t look twice. Their homework would tell them that. That coupled with recent sentiment draining from ‘Covid stocks’...
There’s every chance CV doesn’t land, and your script plays out, PL. let’s face it, history says that’s more likely. But now would not be the time. And my belief is we’ll have a fruitful run in to that presentation.
Agree SC, I see zero chance of simply sticking to a basic no committal script. That would be completely crazy as would damage his rep and the share price.
In that event, PL, his credibility will finally be shot, as too will the SP.
Why bother if his only option would be to repeat what we know (your script). Why not just wait until June and release the results without a full investor presentation to back them up
the event is designed to attract new investors. He won't attract any new investors simply repeating what the market knows.
What’s there to dodge? Impossible? I could script it myself. He can talk about the success of developing an LFD in ‘around’ 12 months during a pandemic, the evaluation results were excellent, that the CV is progressing well and results will be available in due course etc etc blah blah waffle waffle blah blah...
You’ve hit the nail on the head Mikey. A platform like that is to attract new money. The platform should be set with the publicity we should get in the next week.
Fancy publicly declaring you have the best performing asymptomatic test in the world. The only one that has been validated to be used in the home setting. That’s some stage he’s setting.
Exactly... How on earth does AS plan to attract new investors by dodging the LFT questions? Impossible
Questions are vetted it's not question time/ live debate
As much as I agree they’re entirely separate events, I do think AS would be an idiot to not have CV ready by then - it would set himself up for a right grilling and defeat the purpose of attracting new investors via presentation/Q&A
Quite irrelevant anyway as were in supposed ‘imminent’ zone
Surely shareholders questions will be vetted . So it's unlikely AS will be bombarded with uncomfortable questions imo. Can't imagine it's a free for all like a town hall meeting.
I still believe the CV results and all that goes with it will be before anyway.
I can’t see how anything will be hijacked in a moderated presentation. Every presentation in the past 12 months has had some form of expectations attached to it on this BB and every time nothing has happened. Why would this time be different. The CV results will turn up before, during or after, they’re certainly not dependent on the timing of the results presentation. Hopefully before.
* I've seen hints of the latter personality trait, but none of the former
Having set us up with 'around end of Q1' expectation for LFT, AS would have to be either incredibly stupid or incredibly arrogant not to realise the huge negative impact any lack of clarity on LFT on or by 22nd April, would have on the SP. I've seen hints of the former personality trait, but none of the latter. I will be astonished if there's even a hint of waffle on LFT on or before 22nd. He must know it's last chance saloon on LFT, so update is nailed on for me.
This fight is nearly as boring as the wait!
I definitely think there will be some CE news before or at the results.
Otherwise Alastair knows the whole event would be hijacked with repeated questions about his missed deadline.
We will nearly be a third of the way through Q2 by next Thursday, that is stretching “around the end of Q1” to the limit
The news will be before or on that day or it will take something very special in the results RNS to stop a big drop.
I really would be amazed if it isn’t delivered by then!
