Woodford has probably lost motivation in investing after what has happened. But yes he would definitely argue that this stock which he owned almost half the company at one point as "fundamentally undervalued" haha.. now is the time.

Fair point on directors already having enough skin in the game with share options.. may be. combined they own 6.6% of shareholdings:
James Sturrock (CEO) granted 4,400,000 Options at an exercise price of 0.1p holding total 8.8mil options
Tim Parfit (CFO) granted 2,000,000 Options at an exercise price of 0.1p.
At current valuations... their holdings doesn't seem so significant tho?

What's the purpose of MMs making small trades at 0.9p? How does that generate interest?

One thing I don't understand is why directors are not buying at these prices?

If I was Tim Parfitt whom bought 500k Shares for 2.2p two months ago, I would relish at the opportunity to add. Or if I was Chairman Paul Pindar whom bought 10 mil shares at 10p last year. More or less, I would buy some at these bargain prices to demonstrate to market conviction?Could it be that the board could be in potential merger talks behind the scenes which forbid buying activity? Confused.

Consolidation in the industry makes sense. Competition pricing pressures and economic uncertainties require some consolidation.

1) Simba merge- think possible match would be with Simba especially since talks were put on hold in September "not the right time to pursue the potential merger", may be since company is now in better shape as reflected in strong results, now is the right time?
2) Emma Takeover- 2nd best alignment would be with Emma. (Emma & Eve)

Agree... "Which is still double our current market cap in cash balance alone at the end of 2020." also completely write-off any value in the Eve sleep brand equity it has built, spending 10's of millions to build a brand over many years. Surely this is worth something. But assume write it off.. current cash level is 4x market cap. The gap is significant and will only close after the overhang is cleared which will be soon IMO

Recap: Jupitar 5.12%, Link Fund 13.79% = 18.91% (49,832,415 shares outstanding) worth around £400,000. This pocket money of an overhang at these prices; looking forward for these to be swooped up this week.

1st Jan to mid March according to TrustPilot, Eve ranked 2nd after Emma, even surpassing casper and simba.. think what you may but I think this company is worth more than cash on hand (8ml). Only reason for falling to this level is forced sellers, which is a great opportunity if u see it that way.

1) Emma have 53 pages = 1,060 Reviews,
2) Eve have 24.5 pages = 490 reviews,
3) Casper 20.5pages = 410 Reviews,
4) Simba = 18 pages = 360 Reviews,
5) Leesa 1.5 pages = 30 Reviews,

Agree... with such a strong balance sheet of 7.8 mil- the biggest threat in this industry is the competitive nature and pricing pressure. Opportunistic takeover is on the cards for competitors like Simba who has previously discussed and put on hold a merger. Emma and Casper have bigger pockets.. 2mil market cap to them is really pocket money in the grand scheme of things.

I am optimistic with 7.8mil still in bank still!only 200k reduction in cash from year end to end of feb.. which is very positive, it doesn't look like this company is not going bankrupt anytime soon. They have a lot of brand equity invested which is not priced in at these prices. 2mil market cap is an absolute bargain.. overhang will be cleared soon.

Directors should increase skin in the game and just cough up together 400k worth of shares from Jupiter and Link. This will be gone in no time if they do their bit.

Recap: Jupitar 5.12%, Link Fund 13.79% = 18.91% (49,832,415 shares outstanding) worth around £400,000. This pocket money of an overhang at these prices; looking forward for these to be swooped up this week.

Surprising not much trade action today. I think during these negative market sentiment, investors are not in the mood and have no appetite for risk. Coronavirus contagion. ?? Who's feeling feeling confident about tomorrow?

Short term pain for long term gain. Not so long ago, Chief Financial Officer Tim Parfitt topped up 500,000 shares @2.2p for £11k - 2months ago. Now worth £4k. If he think it's worth adding at 2.2p then 0.8p surely is a bargain? After results out, I think directors will buy if in the position to.

Well his opinion doesn't make sense. Should be transparency in results especially during these times on how things are as it is.

Mostly a direct to consumer online play. It will be less impacted than the high street. With 8 mil cash in the bank it will get through the year pretty well. 2 mil market cap makes this one of the most undervalued companies on AIM stock market. Compared to benchmarking competitors valuation for example, the latest fund raise by competitor Simba who Raised $24M from Cartesian Capital Group. It didn't mention the % shares in exchange for $24m but just highlights how undervalued Eve Sleep is right now..

Sudden increase in buys... expecting news?

Can stay at home and monitor Eve sleep price action :)

Today and tomorrow is a critical date for Link and Jupiter to sell out before results day. Looking for bottom now and announcement tomorrow or Monday before rising. 24th Results day looking out for director buys and anticipating at least 50% rise by results day. IMO...

RNS - Jupitar reduced shares from 10.98% to 5.12% (13,515,074 shares outstanding)
Link Fund Solutions Ltd with 13.79% (36,317,341 shares outstanding)
Combined shares outstanding = 18.91% (49,832,415 shares outstanding) worth around £420,000- Pocket money in the grand scheme of things ;)
