Investor Chronicles had this at a buy above £25 and still consider it a hold.
- NMC has not yet responded to Muddy Waters’ claims. Before a direct response, it’s hard to judge the veracity of the hedge fund’s work, which included asking NMC itself what was happening using a pseudonym. Tellingly, Muddy Waters does not directly accuse NMC and its directors of fraud, using language such as "indications" of fraud and "possible" fraud. Questioning asset purchase prices is reasonable, but Muddy Waters needs to give more detail around why the prices paid are too high. The damage has been done from this attack, however, and some of the mud will likely stick. Muddy Waters often publishes several reports on a single company, so there could also be more to come. Without a rebuttal, we are not going to write off NMC, so move to a hold recommendation.

- I have a feeling NMC will throw the kitchen sink at Muddy Waters, with Burford already filing legal proceedings against them lets hope these f**kers are wiped out before long.
