focusIR May 2024 Investor Webinar: Blue Whale, Kavango, Taseko Mines & CQS Natural Resources. Catch up with the webinar here.
Morning all, I�m UK based El but always been but of a night owl withneed for only 6 hrs sleep, so often I browse the B.B. and find watching the FDBK sp induces sleep! As for an AR cuddle botak, well we don�t seem to be on the same wavelength at present...maybe when he has engineered the sp north of 10p I will feel differently. I do often wonder just how much of his time is devoted to FDBK, suspect it may be little? Jimbo is looking to excuse TB somewhat and at the moment I am inclined to agree, it may just be mms trying to fulfill a large order at lowest price....but then there must be a bounce. BOD not helping by their usual lack of information.
Oh El, with FDBK it is extreme faith and patience but they really don�t help themselves do they? Would it hurt to communicate with shareholders sometimes? If deadlines go awry would it be remiss to explain why? If there is a strategy for sales and JVs why not enlighten us? QPR to get outright promotion looks a more decent bet than FDBK really maximising TexRAD sometimes. Maybe I�m just in one of those rare moods where it is all so exasperating. Great news long awaited and the share price goes negative, the results are underwhelming and the BOD ....enough said.
Hi Hors, have a look at Versarien VRS, had a good run lately but this has a lot more to go...potentially a world beater in a massive market. I like the openness and communication, the fact that product is endorsed by Univ. of Manchester and Cambridge uni, both of whom are shareholders. They do not bs, the CEO is approachable and is selected to go on DTI trade missions. The whole ethos just feels entirely different to FDBK regrettably....I really do hope the latter can successfully commercialise TexRAD, not just from my investment perspective but also because it deserves to improve medical diagnosis and be of real benefit.
A dogs dinner really Hors, hard to believe this is a company with a world leading product which is now CE marked and still they cannot sort their politics or communicate with shareholders. They really do try patience and treat shareholders with apparent disregard. El may be right in his views but there is little excuse for being in the current situation if the BOD are on top of their game, time to commit and tell shareholders exactly what is happening. Cannot believe we will be in a similar position in another 12 months that would be negligent, but wouldn�t bet against it! Fortunately I am happily invested in another AIM company where integrity, shareholder communication and clarity are paramount. This also is a developing area with a market leading product. Performance is chalk and cheese to FDBK.
Evening Tobriand, been saying something similar for ages....an arrogant smile in a video presentation just doesn�t cut it! This stock is crying out for ACTIVE leadership, what a travesty that industry leading products are not attracting investors, BOD should be ashamed imo.
I also understand that the way the CE mark was obtained for TexRAD Lung was structured in such a way so as to make further product marks to be obtained more quickly. Alistair Riddell has stated in his recent podcast that TexRAD Liver will be next and could be CE marked in around 6 months. This should result in a rapidly growing income stream annually and will transform FDBK, as well as be very beneficial to clinicians and patient care...a win win.
Evening Botak....always listen to Welsh seagulls is my motto. Like you I have no choice but to believe, in this instance however I really want the software to be successful for patient care reasons and I do believe it will be given a strong effort to fully commercial8se. Have a good weekend and let�s hope next week starts to deliver, GLA.
And that�s the rub isn�t it hors, logic dictates the sp ought to be many multiples of its present level....but it just isn�t! With the MASSIVE market for TexRAD products and a clear leader situation why is the sp in the 2�s? Maybe the new media/fund negotiator recruit can inject life and reason into our beloved stock.
Morning IF, talk about small steps it�s like watching paint dry isn�t it? Now the CE for Lung has been delivered what else do we have that could cause a seismic shift in the sp? Perhaps a JV announcement and confirmation that the Company should move into profit this year would help. Even 5p still seems a long way off.
Yes I believe it will be hot but note the trialling period mentioned for NHS with Lung, not sure how long that will last. Very interesting though that Liver may be CE marked in appx 6 months. If all goes well this will be a very different commercial animal by Q3 2018, and from then on the excitement will really build imo.
Afternoon El, Botak, yes very good interview and encouraged to hear the positive tone and rosy future. We all believe this can be massive as the market is huge and FDBK are definitely front runners so even temporary share overhangs should be mopped up once income flows in, especially given the oft quoted 75% profit margins! Your 6.6p looks a way off El at present ( my 7p even further) though I know relates can be very quick, so I will still be very happy at present with 5p for year end...and rapid growth in 2018. Don�t let this one go cold AR, would be my message.
Hi Bo, Hors...agree we have little day to day control but BOD can influence confidence and create the mood to attract buyers so positive rns will be very helpful. I am hopeful a lot of action is going on behind the scenes and it will not be too long before mms have no choice but to rerate.
Morning all, yes buyers may help prop up the sp but it seems miles away from the dizzy heights of 5p 6 months ago despite all the recent good news. What will it take to recover there and move on? I did believe the CE would be the catalyst, and so it should be for growth and profitability, but how long before the sp responds. With FDBK prospects there should be no lack of buyers for any overhang but mms seem reluctant to let the shares fly. BOD need to seriously blow their own trumpet very loudly imo.
Mr Cranston you are my new hero, if you can sort out the mm shenanigans on this stock then you will have earned the thanks of all lths. Check out Horsford�s post at 07.41 this morning, really sums up the outstanding potential for FDBK and the sp should be a multi-bagger from now let alone with further development, profit potential is massive. So BOD no more shrinking violets, go out and beat the drum long and hard! It�s time this got going.
Afternoon El, we are back to silly games again...hoped CE would see the back of this! Despite saying I was fully committed here looks like I will have to grab some more at these prices tomorrow, you going to join me Botak? As I said earlier now we have CE this has to sell and the move to profitability will quickly rerate the stock.
Good news El, your lotto winnings likely the only way we will see our year end targets! Cannot believe the sp....anyone would think bad news had appeared whereas it was the opposite. What are they going to say at the AGM?
Morning Botak....alive and kicking thanks, which is more than can be said for our beloved sp? Cannot believe the news we have all been waiting months for resulted in...zilch on the sp. Yes I know the potential and once TexRAD starts to produce the income & profit that it must in the next year or two then it won�t matter who owns the shares (TB or not TB....sorry) there will have to be a serious rerating to reflect the market value. As a growing tech growth stock when profitable the PER should be at least 10-15x, so an sp of 30p+ is easily expected....but oh the waiting game and shenanigans of mm�s, never easy with FDBK is it?
Hi jimbo, that makes a lot more sense than TB selling directly. Why would he depress the sp now when waiting a few days would likely allow him to sell into a ? 50% higher margin? Think the MM,s are trying a risky forward sale....if it doesn�t move red faces all round. Anyway if we now look further ahead the sp will be nothing like this in 6 months time. Need the BOD now to actually promote the merits of TexRAD to investors and outline future Agreements and product pipeline plans. This could and SHOULD be massive.
