Senior leadership invests in Xaar’s future
Members of Xaar’s senior leadership team have bought shares in the business to underline their commitment and confidence in its new strategy.
John Mills, CEO, Ian Tichias, CFO and Andrew Herbert, Chairman (pictured left to right), have all invested in the company, buying 275,000 Xaar shares between them. The significant investment follows the announcement of Xaar’s full year results yesterday for the 12 months ending 31 December 2019.
we enter 2020 with confidence in the long-term future of the business and a revised strategy, product roadmap and strong balance sheet to deliver improved business performance and a return to profitability.
“Clearly, the recent events with the rise of the COVID-19 pandemic mean it is impossible to determine the effect on Xaar's 2020 results; however we are yet to see a significant impact on customer demand.
“We have all the fundamentals in place to continue to execute our strategy and return Xaar to profitability. Our share investment is a clear demonstration of our belief in the long-term performance of the business and the confidence that we have in delivering sustainable growth

on a general mkt note, the Fed are going to support the mkts come what may....unprecedented support over coming weeks...UK gov also lined up with a package to support and stimulate in July..the music is not going to stop for sometime yet ;-)
:-)
Markets have gone ballistic, xaar has gone from strength to strength very good management team, very good strategy and excited for any news!

figures speak for themselves as below
basic value closer to 90p from current 60p
https://investorschronicle.co.uk/comment/2020/0
and there we go..looks like we can run freely again, order appears serviced and back to 60p +, resolve, nerves and patience all get tested at times by those price movements, all part of the game, well done all who held through that little test :-)
:-)
sorry, purchase was £49k at 57.65p :-)
a bit of buying pressure pushing mm's to raise both bid and ask, the £48k at 57.65p helped force it :-)
and there are a number of 'hidden' trades going through on Nex too..just to add a bit more smoke and mirrors to the action ...
well no TR1 and I'm assuming a £163k trade would likely generate one, so at present it looks like brokers were /are servicing the 59.20p purchase, it is reasonable to assume that they are still searching for stock to complete the order, (you can have stock allocated to your account on paper before the actual stock is secured) in situations like this mm's will try to find a sweet spot to generate enough trades to complete the order whilst controlling the price tightly....so far still looks like it was a large purchase, sp has not crashed on the back of it as one would assume if it was a sell and mm's keeping it tightly held around 57p ish, .........CEO purchased a decent chunk at 50p a week or two ago, i guess he expects a greater return too going forward and Scroders appear to have their 28% still all in place ......lockdown easeing, businesses starting back over the next few weeks and some sort of normal returning :-)
dont understand how bid price can go up but share price drops sigh
last trade on my screen was a buy at 16.29 was for 59p ask , followed by a ut trade to square off at 59p too...then the late declared £162k ...interesting day ahead Friday
my closing price today is showing 55.80, should it not be 59
well... £162k @ 59.20p timed at 9.02am ....if the time and trade was instructed at that time, and sometimesthey are not. but assuming it is and there is no TR1 friday stating a delayed sell logged this moring (it happens sometimes), then on the decared trades and times, at this minute, that looks like a buy as mm's would not have offered a premium for a large sell....so if all is as it appears (it'll take until Friday morning, TR1 or not, to ensure no smoke and mirrors with time and price printed) a large buy @ 59.20, sp dropped to service it and a rise into close back to where we started almost, who'd have thought eh :-)
I purposely caveat the above as those pesky mm's sometimes delay a printed trade etc. and then I 'll look foolish, however on price action today and rise back into close it does match earlier thoughts posted this morning... if no TR1 tomorrow, I won't look so foolish :-)
:-)
currently on this dip we are approx. at leat 32p + off fair value with the potential ahead, that about 58% increase from here at 88p :-)
In addition to the basic figires of closer to 90p sahre value, add in further sales, new contracts and sentiment and momentum and a return to even higher is on the cards, the new CEO and team clearly foucused on increasing value and in fact CEO took £50k of shares a couple of weeks ago around 50p from memory...me thinks there is more upside over coming weeks than a day or two downside and with at least a 58% + gap back up to fair basic value I wont be selling mine too cheap yet :-)
Not helping much as the market was not impressed with the mix bag update of late.....a little retrace after such a good run was always expected,(by myself anyway.....),HOWEVER, med/long term prospects are pretty much very promising....as such I top sliced to bank some profit,but keeping my main core here very tight....GLA.
Thanks for the reply Suprised, i think i needed a little boost, :)
all part of the mkts, price movement, example only yestrday, one of my holdings AIR dropped 10% on what appeared large sells, later looks like a transfer of stock, after a previous 2% drop, then today it's bounced up 16% at one point as large buyers took stock again...all part of mkt testing resolve and at times simple buying and selling, the key factor in the psycology of stocks is that not all price moveents are simply buys and sells...it's a bit more complicated than that..ie. if a large order comes in at a fixed price you can bet that the sp will fall to service it etc.....puul backs and testing resolve at all levels is what makes the mkt....each has to decide on their investment strategy using all available info, so far we've been right with the basic figures, in fact currently on this dip we are approx. at leat 32p + off fair value with the potential ahead, that about 58% increase from here at 88p :-)
if big buys why the drop, i was in this when over 250, went through the big drop and now averaging out and back in profit
so a bit concerning when if its all good news and it is dropping. Gla
