Hi Omert� and welcome. Good to have a fresh contribution on this board. I'll try not to waffle in response.
Yes it does look as if Mills could've been behind last months rise as the size of the trades were likely institutional.
I wouldn't say CD4 is of paramount importance. It will be transformational when it happens but we already have a solid profitable growing business here without it.
In terms of my expectations for the upcoming trading update. I hope to see continued growth across all LOB's. I would like to see more progress in their various projects (particularly Visitect CD4) but also other RDT's.
In terms of your last question - diversification is key - given this is such a small company it's still something of a global business so various types of cultural, political risk are spread. They already operate in many stable regions successfully and are now spreading into Africa (as you may have seen).
Financially they keep a tight control on costs, are cash generative and reinvest their profits back into the business. Basically what I like is that you have the buffer of a solid good quality profitable business with a range of products but the blue sky opportunities (for example Visitect CD, Allersys etc) in for free. This imo is an undervalued company
I would obviously recommend the corporate website but also the Hardman reports.
Most importantly though DYOR. HTH
