And just as importantly debt is not going down. It remains stubbornly high despite 'cash generation'

Trading update tomorrow, surely going on previous years releases? Been very subdued here recently. Looking for a bullish positive update

We are well bid indicating strong background interest. Gone are the days of the Hardide overhang! Bring on those Airbus deals.

ODX ticks all those financial boxes then. ;)

Having performed poorly for the past two months (never a good sign with Shanta) this is now at a crucial support level. If it breaks down conclusively below 8.75p then the long term uptrend is broken.

"Really exciting opportunities" in North America..... It just gets better. Could PK be referring to the O&G sector, Aerospace (Boeing) or both?

A decent article written on Hardide as a minnow to watch last year. Clearly things moved more slowly than perhaps hoped for in 2016 but given we now have the crucial Airbus approved supplier status this could well be the year: http://www.iii.co.uk/articles/284116/minnow-watch-2016 Interesting reading DYOR

Good to see long term holders coming on expressing some satisfaction at the progress now being made. And richly deserved for their commitment and loyalty. AND goes to show that some have recognised the potential here long ago. My holding is not as big as yours Team83 but decent nonetheless. We have the interim results next month which should be substantially improved on last year and we could well see the first Airbus order before that! Very excited about the future here. Long term Hold.

Very good trading update - right across the board. Extremely encouraging that Hardide rushed it out so soon in comparison to previous years. Of particular note is the strong indication that we will soon hear on Airbus deals!

It looks to me like there's an overhang of shares. The platform this operates on will automatically record any trade that is executed under the mid price at that time as a sell because it cannot differentiate between the two. This is an old chestnut that has often triggered complaints. I think the fact that you could buy under the mid is a classic symptom of either an overhang or possibly an order being filled. I'm pretty confident it's one of the two. Once demand begins to exceed the supply, which we are not seeing yet, then the price will move. And I have a strong feeling that the SP trigger will be that first aerospace order resulting from the Airbus approved supplier accreditation Have a good weekend

Viking - in my experience, and I've attended plenty of investor shows, company attendance and presentations rarely have a material effect on share price. Most people are curious but will probably already know enough about the company for a talk (which will not contain anything new) to change their mind. That said its not a bad idea for them to attend. What do you think about their new proprietary technology platform?

Thanks Richie and very much appreciating your contribution to this board. I agree with you re the £10m revenue pa as I read a report some while ago that estimated £7m pa and I believe that was on the conservative side and did not include other aerospace customers. I know you have touched on this re IR but I think this is one of those stocks that the market 'doesn't get'. Yet. Its something of a niche product in a probably little understood (coatings) industry. If it was an oil or resources exploration co you'd have PI's crawling all over it. That said I think PK has made a positive start in addressing this by interviewing with Directors Talk, and it was a very good interview. Hardide need to do this to draw the markets attention to the quote 'enormous growth potential' here. This investment is long term for me. I take my hat off to LTH's who have shown incredible patience. I've been very fortunate in terms of timing to take a position at a low attractive price with so much growth to come.

Quote Phillip Kirkham: "Delighted to have this. Completion of a long process. Can't really overestimate the significance of this. Key stage enabling us to go forward commerically with Airbus. We are currently in discussion with a number of Airbus sites over about specific components on a whole range of aircraft. Aerospace is a key market for us and this should enable us to be seen as credible throughout the whole industry and open up some opportunities in other aerospace companies other than Airbus" Just a snapshot but it gives a very clear picture of the huge significance of this approval status. It now means Hardide are in a genuine position to receive production orders from both Airbus and their suppliers. Phillip Kirkham, a long time ago, stated that there was enormous growth potential in the aerospace sector for the company. Well, that time has now come. Just a matter of time. Watch the market explode here when that first order drops because this is going to be sticky revenue make no mistake. HDD has a tiny MC so there is now a fantastic opportunity to invest in a great UK small business with market leading - leading edge technology. Do yourself a favour and DYOR

http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/news/AN_1490788610795251800/hardide-joins-airbus-approved-supplier-list-for-components-coating.aspx This is transformative for HDD. Only a matter of time now until the first order drops. Then the next. Then the next. And this kind of revenue is far more predictable than the main current source of HDD revenue which is O&G

I'm going absolutely nowhere mate. This is a nailed on winner IMHO.

Lionel - a clue they weren't sells but nearly all buys.

baz agreed. And serious investors (rather than gamblers and punters) is what we have here.

Yep and with our new manufacturing base in Pune India we are perfectly placed for opportunities in the Far East. Not least with CD4 test production - in the millions - and we have plenty of capacity. Happy Days.

Yes but I don't really want to see herd turning up here. They'd find it very hard in any case. There just isn't the stock available. Which is ALL good for those of use who have patiently built up nice largeish holdings and can now sit back and enjoy the ride.

Nice find. Yes I like the bit about 'expansion'. 😉 Good to see.
