Great RNS this morning!
Thank you Ray and good spot, but why have the company released this to a newspaper when there has been virtually no news about China and the EU. The delay is very poor in my opinion and whilst it is acknowledged this product is excellent what does the future hold. GLALTHs
Concepta Bedfordshire-based Concepta was founded in 2013 by a group of people including two former employees of Unilever who had helped develop pregnancy tests there in the 1990s. Frustrated by the “qualitative” approach of pregnancy tests that measure hormone levels to generate a positive or negative result, Concepta’s executive chairman Matthew Walls said the company set out to create a “quantitative” test that would monitor in more detail how hormones change. For the past six years the company has been developing a device to do this, but “the developments had taken way longer than they should have”, he said. Finally, in the past six months, the company has found its first users: around 150 women who are using its ovulation and pregnancy tests to measure their hormone levels. The device feeds the results to a smartphone app so users can monitor their hormonal cycles. The long-term goal is to identify each woman’s regular hormonal cycle and alert her if it varies. “In a year or so, when we’ve filled out data banks, we will have really powerful data,” Mr Walls said. “That goes beyond what you learn at school [about how] the normal [menstrual] cycle is 28 days and you ovulate at day 14.” Concepta’s share price has fallen 42 per cent to 4p over the past year as investors wait for the product to come to market. https://amp.ft.com/content/a78a7078-418b-11e9-9bee-efab61506f44 Great to see some press coverage on CPT!
Well maybe you're right and I'm reading too much into the share price move. Someone bought over 1.5m shares at 2.85 and then it really started to move. I just wonder why someone would buy 1.5m shares. That's a lot of money to risk in my book. You say you wouldn't need to be an insider to buy at these levels but we're talking a market cap of over 7m. That's hardly peanuts considering we have no idea of sales figures. Maybe I've just lost my appetite for risk as been burnt many times.
If it's insider trading it must be the cleaner given the size of the trades ;-) There was one substantial purchase recently but then only PI sized and uneven figure and value. We know this can go down with small volume and the same applies to it going up. It's only up to what it was a short time ago and to half what it was a year ago. It was over 7p a year back, so certainly doable, and fwiw TW currently has it as a buy up to 8p and a target of 15p. I think for many people you wouldn't need to be an insider to buy in at these levels (if only my average was this low) not least given the initial reactions to the product. GLA
Without solid news impossible to say, clearly people close to company and MM in particular will have advanced warning CW us, time will tell if this is a flash in the pan or more substantial, I'm so heavily down it makes little difference to me either way tbh, guided by new CEO conditional bonus if sp reaches 7p for a week which is very odd but clearly doable, remember at one stage people thought this was worth 22p
Of course I'm not naive enough to think it doesn't go on. Does that make it okay? Should the regulator just turn a blind eye to unusual price movements?
Read between what lines? The Chairman said back in December that there were plans and discussions taking place. A roll out across Europe is pie in the sky as we haven't even got a solid base in the UK yet. Discussions with retailers could take ages and there is absolutely no certainty they will be successful unless they can demonstrate sufficient demand (and there is no evidence of that).
Despite all the uncertainty the share price rises 60% in a month.
If good news does land without warning the chums and cronies will make money instead of the people that have followed this company for years.
Fairview, are you really naive enough to think that insider trading does not go on, especially on AIM. You have to read between the lines, Matthew has already stated that they are in talks with retailers in the last RNS.
Concepta you really need to get some news out
Don't get the share price rise here. Up about 60% in a month on absolutely no news.
I'm only a small holder now but this is very fishy. If some piece of good news suddenly drops then that has to be insider dealing because the company has told investors nothing via RNS for months.
The good buying continues. Volume at about 200% of average daily volume.
Unfortunately share price wise all this has led to is increase spread, but some decent accumulation continuing. .
sold half of my holdings this morning - bottled out, I know, but when you have been losing £4K + and it suddenly is 1.5K, then the happy prospect of spending £2.5K on something fun (rather than this nonsense) is too much to resist.
I experienced a weird phenomena - I sold for 4.11 and could immediately buy back for 4.09. Anyone else come across this?
a bit of upwards momentum which is unusual here , interested to see if anything materialises from the rise now.
whagwaan , carefully inspect your screen if you can`t recognise that the bid has risen and so has the sp. gla
I have a small punt on this company. It's a compelling product and a logical first step before the major expense of IVF.
I'd hope an RNS within the next month or so would confirm sales figures. I'd hope 1000 units sales would be enough to trigger a positive update. Be nice to see approval for the lucrative US market and an update on China.
Not bothered about a retail tie-up as target market will be internet savvy.
Re news leaking or slipping to friends, brokers, Nomads etc, that is 100% how AIM works.. not the larger markets to anywhere near the same extent (these days) that are actually subject to meaningful regulation.
So not only is the above a possibility, but also there is the potential that one of the pump and dump crews have picked this up, and as ever, before unloading this as the "next best thing" to their unsuspecting followers, who buy and drive up the price for them to sell into, they need to position. An upturn in sentiment on here / Twitter etc will reveal that hand.
Hopefully its just good old fashioned value investing. At the end of the day someone took nearly 1% of the company a few sessions ago, and its risen well since. For that reason, I'm leaning toward it being more the former than the latter. GL.
well my loss is looking almost acceptable today (from £3.6K last week to only 2!) with no reason for the rise. Let's see that positive RNS please!
Totally agree with posters here, the sound from the Directors is deafening..............anyone would believe this is a hound of a share. I am sorry but I am still no wiser on the Chinese deal, the Eu situation on licensing. What the hell do the BOD think of investors......sorry they do not. If something is cooking then Fairviews opinion is a reasonable assessment of the situation.
This is only going to rise on the back of decent sales, which look to be few and far between. £350 for the tester does not feel like a mass market price point
I would not worry about the sudden rise. Careful inspection shows that the bid has not moved so once again some spoofing to make you think that something is afoot. If it were really true announcements about commercial deals would have been sung to the rafters but guess what no one has an ffing clue what is happening.
Anyone got any idea what is going on here?
I sold most of my shares a while back so the fact it is rising strongly hardly matters to me anymore. What I don't understand is what do all these people that have suddenly started buying know that I don't? The company tells us nothing so where are they getting the information from?
Is this insider dealing? Is the company leaking information about sales or potential deals to friends and family? This is what I hate about AIM and markets in general to be honest.
quickly!
Looking good.
Hopefully good sales numbers or some sort of contract with big retailer!
Sorry link doesn’t work, but found it on Google
If the reviews are anything to go by it should be a winner. Maybe this is interesting share buyers.

Cannot believe there has been some upward movement. However this is AIM and in the absence of any reason for any sudden change in sentiment then just view this another one of those spoofs to garner traction. No indication of actual commercial demand says it all. Lesson learnt only consider a TW /Adam Reynolds play once it's already lost 80% as only then can you possibly make a turn.
