Me a long term holder cannot believe this 17% rise today
Up 12% today to 140p
Not much chat here , and does not look like I posted before .
Share fell to a low of 91p January this year .
I last looked 11/4/23 when I saw they came back to my last top up of 204p of 1/6/2021 .
I see MaryBr190 bought 6 December 2023 around 108p then .
Good to see her post .
"Certainly in a different phase from the 50p lift off 10 bagger. I used to watch XAR regularly hit the risers and fallers lists and wanted a piece of the action. Something always steered me away. However pulled the trigger this morning and will see where we are in 6/9 months - being XAR it will be in vogue again when least expected."
Hindsight of today let alone January 2024 should of sold all on 11/8/21 when I last sliced at 250p
Broker has my Break-Even Price 116.8205p so at least I am apparently up
My first buys shows 7/3/2017 for 345p
This is getting to be a buying price but I see may be 90 soon
Adding again for the next shot up - like an atm
Better move today

Ty - never mind the 1st tranche is usually the tester and snooker rack in on further drops.
Oh no sorry, it's under £1 now.☹️☹️
I think the SP is still dropping, Robina. It probably will go to under £1 before bouncing back up. But anyway, good luck with your purchase.
Took an initial tranche - 1st of 10 - to average in. Seems a recovery stock with wild swings. DYOR.

You may already be aware that Stuart Widdowson of Odyssean (part of the Harwood stable) often sings the praises of XAR and bought another 1% only a couple of weeks ago taking Odyssean to over 15%.
XAR seem to be a perennial disappointer but Stuart has kept buying. It will be interesting to see if Odyssean buys more after today's RNS and subsequent drop. Maybe Harwood can find someone to buy XAR.
I would like to know the same making little money no dividend who is buying
What is the reason behind the price hike?

Today's update suggests revenue might be flat only and yet the share price falls 25%. Absolute madness. Definitely a buying opportunity, which I have grasped with both hands.
Revenue going backwards,
Xaar missing earnings would you buy now or hold until after final results
Yes it's confirmed. Facility upgrade at the Huntingdon plant. The trading update RNS mentions it. I think its going to be off line until the end of March.
Trading update due any day now. Will be interesting to see how their aquinox product is doing.
Also saw this https://twitter.com/RebelHQ/status/1612733480135282688 by CR. Manufacturing shutdown? Is this confirmed. Not sure what the source is. Anyone?

A nice big buy of 300,000 posted this afternoon, I suggest that we hold on for any forthcoming news.
A nice big buy of 100,000 shares at 210 posted this morning, a vote of confidence despite talk of recession.
Could be takeover speculation.

For me a good trading update
UK equities are considered cheap and I am holding XAR for the potential of a bidding war this year, maybe someone knows about an offer or maybe a potential buying is starting to accumulate a holding and with limited float, it doesn't take much to move the price.
Why the price increase?

Large uncrossing trade this afternoon: 2.5m shares traded (£4.8m). 78m shares in issue (according to 'Fundamentals' on this site) so that's 3.2% of shares. Alongside Xaar's promotion to FTSE Small Cap taking effect next week this means there might be a "Holding in company" RNS to look out for too, I wonder who's buying those shares... (although as an uncrossing trade it might relate to multiple buyers & sellers so not necessarily notifiable changes)

XAR's indeed been promoted (actually takes effect from 21st June I think). I wonder if yesterday and today's rises are on the back of that. Anyway good to see.
The quarterly FTSE reshuffle is coming up. I don't understand it well enough to know if this is only for the FTSE100 and FTSE250 and I can't find any announcement of this possible promotion, but I notice that XAR now has a market cap that would qualify it as "FTSE Small Cap", although it's currently a "FTSE Fledgling" - so maybe it gets promoted next week, in which case that might mean that some tracker funds will need to have a position in XAR. I wouldn't expect that to make major changes to the share price, but it should underpin it - if I've understood that likely promotion correctly. Anyone here actually *know*?
One resource I do find helpful on this is Stock Challenge which lists shares and their current categorisation,
http://www.stockchallenge.co.uk/ftse.php
Be good to see this back to 2015/16 levels again.... still 38% in red.
Any forecasts?

XAR is up nearly tenfold ,what not to like , nice
Chinese OEM, King Tau has launched a new industrial-grade print engine, incorporating Xaar's advanced printhead technologies.
The ‘Magic Cube’ utilises Xaar’s unique TF Technology and High Laydown Technology to provide users with significant performance improvements for industrial inkjet printing.
Xaar’s TF Technology allows fluids to flow directly past the back of the printhead nozzle at very high flow rates. This prevents the nozzle from drying out, increasing its open time, and ensuring that the printhead is continuously primed for trouble free start-up, even after periods of non-use. High Laydown Technology enables the printing of textured effects onto flat surfaces up to 80um thickness on every pass, which delivers both reliability and higher productivity to the ‘Magic Cube‘ print engine.
As a pioneer in the ceramics and graphic sectors, Guangzhou based King Tau is a leading equipment manufacturer with more than 20 years’ experience in the development of solutions for many different industrial inkjet applications. The partnership with Xaar for the launch of the ‘Magic Cube’ print engine has further enhanced the company’s reputation for high quality and performance inkjet printer manufacturing.
"Our trust in the technical reliability and durable performance of Xaar’s printhead technology were key to our working together,” said Mr. Tong, Managing Director of King Tau.
“In addition, Xaar's unique specialist technologies deliver real value for our customers and differentiate our brand from competitive products."
The tie-up with King Tau underlines Xaar’s commitment to developing global partnerships and collaborative projects.
Xaar’s CEO, John Mills, said, "We are delighted to be working with an industry leader such as King Tau and welcome the opportunity to provide our products and technologies in China.
“Through our partnership we see great potential in delivering the quality, performance and reliability that the Chinese market demands."

Xaar’s FuturePrint presentation to highlight inkjet printing’s drive into new applications
Categories: Corporate, Events
23 February 2021
Leading inkjet technology company, Xaar, and jetting technology provider Meta Additive, will demonstrate how Xaar’s technologies and collaborative approach are enabling ground-breaking applications, at this month’s FuturePrint virtual conference.
Titled, ‘Pushing the boundaries of what’s possible’, Graham Tweedale, General Manager of Xaar’s printhead business, will review how Xaar’s unique technologies are pushing inkjet beyond its traditional applications into increasingly new areas.
Highlighting the culture which exists to drive creativity and innovation at Xaar, Graham will focus on three of Xaar’s technologies – TF Technology, High Laydown Technology and High Viscosity – and explain their contribution to moving beyond the conventional limits of inkjet printing.
In addition, Dr Kate Black, Chief Technology Officer at Meta Additive, will introduce its innovative binder jetting process and explain why the collaboration with Xaar has been an important part of the development process.
Graham commented, “The FuturePrint conference focuses on new technology that enables production to adapt to fast-changing, new markets, and if the last year has shown us anything, it’s the need for agility and innovation.
“Our work with Meta Additive and its binder jetting invention is as creative as it is relevant to today’s evolving manufacturing environment, and above all demonstrates the role that inkjet technology and collaboration between two forward-thinking businesses is playing in pushing the boundaries of inkjet.”
The two-day FuturePrint Virtual Conference will highlight the latest developments within industrial, packaging, labels, commercial and wide-format print technologies designed to meet the needs of customers in 2021 and beyond.
Graham and Kate’s presentation takes place on February 26th at 15.00GMT / 16.00CET. The session is open to all and can be attended by pre-registering at www.futureprint.tech.
Anyone have any idea as to why this is trending downward at the moment?
BtB...could even be back there by the end of this week the way it has picked up, well done to all loyal holders that held their nerve. I always think I may be wrong to hang on in there when the share price seems to be in free fall, but we never know when it has hit the bottom, this time it even tested my nerves, but if we all sold when this happens we would now be at zero!! Have faith, strong Company, great entry price at the moment, so still see this as a strong buy.
Slowly creeping back to where this should be, steady rise each day.
