Our live Investing Matters Podcast Special which took place at the Master Investor Show discussing 'How undervalued is the UK stock market?', has just been released. Listen here.
There is a significant amount of global lifescience/health/med tech R&D effort ongoing for Enhanced Drug Delivery/Inert implant based medical tech and woundcare tech. applications so its another place ITX can play in for sure in the future
Thx DB. not seen this video before, alot of good history. I did not know this was a stereoisomer based chemistry (chiral) for our key subject of matter patent. This is important for the functionality aspects and maps to other innovations for drug NCE development to improved efficacy and safety. (E.g. a few years back an anti sickness/vomiting drug was launched by GSK which had only one of the bio active isomers in its composition. Cheers
Hi think this is the non polymerised molecule not subject to itx patented tech. SODIUM POLYITACONATE. I think the latter is our ingredient but they are using the former also in some preservative use from what I understand with very aqueous formulation. The patent gurus can confirm tomorrow....
Certainly makes us much more attractive for near term or medium term M&A target for a large dirty hydrocarbon non green player at a high price premium as upside but longer we are solo the more premium we eventually get.
I think people are getting the fact now that 2024F is already baked into the fundamentals of the business (quasi-zero delivery risk) since sticky customers are gaining market share/volumes and they cannot now easily reverse and switch out of ITX supply chain/branded technology now its out there in their product portfolios. So anyone valuing this baby needs to assume 2024F is reality now and it will breach profitablity thresholds soon its only a matter of time and volume dependent. My advice to you enjoy the reversal of share price fortune over time and don't sell your shares too cheaply since we are only at 4p old money pre consolidation now with bags of intrinsic value upside.
I could be wrong here but there maybe a private/corporate investor gently accumulating in the background - seems many very similar volume blocks/chunks being purchased in a continuous periodic trend gently soaking up sellers as the price rises.
Thanks AJP08, hadn't seen this. Looks like some orders already flowing or in very near pipeline for niche leather and paints areas. John looks like a very contented cheshire cat right now. He disclosed why the USD10m placement was made to fuel/derisk medium term diversification growth, and adding a stable cash platform to get that delivered..excellent. Thx
Hi clueless, all investors have different investment horizons. So many here like me are waiting for a much bigger return that as you point out could now happen at any time with a trade offer/M&A bolt on transaction from a bigger spec chems fish, BUT the exit price will be well well above 250p since all market players want growth and market access and to perhaps protect their existing cashflows from displacement from ECO advanced functional polymers. Now we are growing strongly and with John boasting about his prototype leather shoes using ITX production methods in testing during his recent interview. I think we are in for an exciting ride in 24/25. Hoping to hear on prospective opps. soon with full final results disclosure.
RB as an innovation business in early stages of market diversification and on the cusp of exciting new revenue channels, CEO focus on S/T "earnings" are probably destroying value instead of the CEO & MGT TEAM pursuing rapid acceleration in market access development/ investment to achieve ITX's full market and shareholder value potential.
Agreed I think the value of the company with its BS cash should be at least GBP35m with near term 2024 F revenues. So at some point we should see a shift back to its higher average mean as seen in 2022/23 once investors see this is well oversold last year
At some point if we grow our revenue line significantly there will be a lucrative exit for all shareholders for sure. It will come from bulk up with another synergistic eco chemicals player or a company we are displacing from their existing markets. That's our future. Growth = value = cash in your pockets. AND it won't be just driven by absolute EBIT quantum. This is an innovation driven business with a different value proposition.
There seems like a misconception here about shareholder value maximisation and undue focus in profitability. What would you rather prefer a 6% EBIT margin in Fy24 for 3 years with a 10% compound revenue growth or a 2% EBIT margin and 25% revenue growth. Think about it...I know what I would want.
It is possible to predict revenues from deliveries in principle but there could be fluctuations in stock level to mitigate risks for transportation and supply. Its a good idea to follow the medium term trends in supply as they must correlate and inform future orders/revenues and profits...
