Had my eye on this and wanted to buy in the low 30s but no cash two weeks ago.
When I dont buy a share the share price increases, when I do buy a share it goes down.
I bought a further 80,000 shares today following the RNS.
I note that Paul Hodges bought a further 50,000 shares today at 48pence.
Obviously, I view today's RNS as strongly bullish. Not bothered by the timing delay highlighted by today's RNS. Motivated by the additional contract wins. COP28 pledges by China (re wind) are also my motivating factors here
WPHO have always been very frugal with our cash, not issuing shares every few months has been an attraction of Windar.
Director has been willing to provide loans when necessary.
Today’s update, while disappointing with a revenue/ profit miss, the result will still be a record for Windar, with a new order and more expected early next year, any share price decline should hopefully be short lived.
What’s the cash position here?
Will the revenue miss for 2023 give them any issues?
He must be confident of getting a good return on his purchases, certainly helping with moving the share price up.
There was an intraday spike to 50p a few years ago, so really pleased to be back here, and hopefully a good move on the next update, which Paul Hodges has more information about than us, and he’s still buying.
Anyone else noticing how Paul Hodges appears to be acquiring all the meaningful free float in Windar?
He has now taken himself over 3% holding.
Only just noticed this in the TRIG interim report 4/8/23, could be Windars kit?
Blade improvements:
- Following trials at two GB wind farms of aerodynamic improvements to turbine blades, a package is being rolled out across four more sites in the GB wind portfolio, totalling 59MW of generation capacity. The package also includes a suite of software upgrades to maximise the additional energy yield gained from equipment installations and will be initially implemented at one of the trial sites with the upgrades already installed.
- Across the wider portfolio, application is being investigated, with technical due diligence for aerodynamic blade upgrades being progressed at two joint venture projects.
Wind turbine software enhancements:
- The wake steering and collective control trial at Altahullion in Northern Ireland has been completed, with testing concluded on three of the four elements. This enhancement is an innovative retrofitted upgrade to increase production and reduce turbine loads. The reduction in loads has been verified by an independent assessment demonstrating an increase in the remaining life of turbine components.
- Validation of a suite of yield-enhancing software upgrades at Garreg Lwyd wind farm in Wales has been completed following implementation in 2021, confirming a >1% increase in the energy yield.
- Results from implementation of a pitch and yaw optimization tool at Gode demonstrated an 0.2% yield uplift.
Yes I did notice, but what stood out to me was that he had all that cash in an ISA.
Obviously made some good investments in the past to build up an ISA pot of that size.
Still holding mine, nearly two & half years now, but building into some great gains now.
Anyone else notice how
1. Paul Hodges transferred his holding of approximately £500k into his ISA last week, thus giving up any downside tax protection on his holding (and protecting any further upside from CGT).
2. He had a further buy last week of 68,500 shares at 35.5 pence.
Both of the above (especially the ISA transfer) incredibly bullish on his behalf.
Large trade of 1,306,000 @ 36p late today, looks like a buy, not surprised after yesterday’s update.
“Given the above the Company expects to meet the current market expectations for 2023 including net revenue of approximately €6.5 million - an increase of approximately 260% compared to 2022 (2022: €1.8 million), and an EBITDA result of approximately €1.5-1.6 million compared to an EBITDA loss of €1.1 million realised in 2022. This would represent a record-breaking revenue for the Company and its maiden profit.
As the Company expects to see continued growth in China in 2024 a main focus for the second half of 2023 is to increase production capacity further to approximately 150 systems per month by the end of the year“
Well I'm very pleased with the share price since the suspension was lifted, 8p back to 40p bid is quite achievement.
When WPHO was covered by chartist Zak Mir on Twitter he had a 40p target, not really big understander of charts myself, but amazing how these guys get it right.
Now looking for the next catalyst, could that be the doubling of production Windar are hopefully pulling off.
And another 100,000 bought by Paul Hodges, a Non-Executive Director of the Company, had purchased 100,000 Ordinary Shares of 1 pence each ("Ordinary Shares") in the Company at a price of 31 pence each.
Following this transaction, Mr Hodges is interested in 1,381,818 Ordinary Shares in the Company, representing 2.0 per cent of the issued share capital of the Company.
100,000 bought at 30p yesterday near the close.
Interested to see if the 100,000 buy order is still there today, as someone has had an order for 100,000 shares at 26p sitting there for a few days now, or was it the director, and he’s been forced to pay 30p instead of 26p, we’ll see later.
It may have taken a week to sink in but 30p paid today, certainly going in the right direction now.
Hopefully WPHO can hold the gains.
Seems encouraging,
“Entering 2023, the production capacity of the Group was fully booked by customer orders for deliveries in the first half of 2023. Currently, the Group is focused on increasing capacity by at least 100% to be implemented mid-year 2023 and planning for a further doubling of capacity when entering year 2024”
While not the largest order extension it certainly is appreciated and good to know WPHO are going in the right direction.
Just need the share price to be a little more positive.
Looking good again this morning, news could drop anytime going by past RNS release times.
Nice to see Paul Hodges is happy to keep buying shares.
Recent buy of 50,000 @ 25.5p increases his total to 1,181,818, representing 1.73%.
Some fairly chunky buys going through today, 25p bid by 4 market makers, and 27.4p just paid.
Now would be a nice time for an RNS to drop announcing another new contract.
Looks like we have a new market maker this morning, five now.
I wonder if it has anything to do with the 18% holding transfer RNS yesterday.
Either way, WPHO could have a very good year with a fair wind.
Settling down nicely this morning, a few buyers and we’re at 19.6p to sell, all bit it with on market maker CNKS, the three others are at 16p.
Roll on 22.5p for break even.
I must admit, I missed the results at 6.30pm on Friday.
We could do with more regular market updates going forward, which might happen with our new investors onboard.
Back trading today, suspension lifted.
I’m hopeful for a doubling in share price when trading resumes, which could be tomorrow Friday 28th.
Placing at 15p, a new contract and a positive outlook.
Agreed, 13Martyn13. Not the worst result. fingers crossed.
