I’m not invested in NCYT currently but having read the RNS I think once the dust settles things will recover a bit.
Clearly there is a dispute ref a contract that expired end of last year, but there may be a legal route to recoup that revenue.
They delivered product in Q1 to the same customer, it however seems this shipment may fulfil the demand from that customer for the remainder of 2021.
Sounds to me that the customer is happy with the promate product but covid rates falling will lessen demand in that area. So only expect further sales in 2021 to them if rates increase in the 2nd half of the year.
The testing market is pivoting clearly towards the private sector to facilitate travel and hospitality needs. This makes up 50% of the Q1 2021 revenue and is a market that will grow in size.
NCYT are well placed to take a chunk of this market margins may get squeezed but the margin was pretty healthy to begin with.
Don’t forget the wedge of cash they are sitting on enviable position to be in.
