Last Christmas period things moved swiftly to the 65p plus area.
Underlying progress since then has been substantial.
It could well have a run up to beyond 65p this Christmas period in my view - 50% upside - and maybe this time it will hold its gains and keep moving forward to a fairer valuation!
I guess Directors will be wondering why the OPTI share price isn't trending in the 80p plus range, given the value creation from its own businesses and the value of its stake in a rocketing SBTX.
Once the rise begins, then I think the rise could be rapid and significant - perhaps news of funding in place for the next 12 months or so will be the catalyst; and surely there is no shortage of ways in which that funding can be achieved! Having marked time for so long, OPTI shares now look to me to be significantly undervalued.
Interesting times...
Buyers about...
70p test coming again I reckon...
Only you know why you are (currently) making negative comments ... but if I had to guess it is because you sold and are now hoping/trying/ praying for the share price to fall so you can get back in because you know the main strategic risk is to the upside! Hey ho...that's what bulletin boards see each and every day! There are others here who only post on rising prices (largely to keep their morale up I guess and to suck a few punters in if possible). Its all irrelevant noise.
The real deal is the long term investment potential of OPTI ...why not just buy a few and sleep better lol!
Not sure 'investors are continually locked in'!
The last placing for investors was at 40p!
Possibly a few small 'traders' are 'locked in' but Optibiotix is on record as stating that this 'noise' on the share price is more or less irrelevant - hence one of the reasons for looking at NASDAQ listing. If you traded from sub 30p a few short months ago you are sitting pretty. There will always be winners and losers on stock markets.
As for 'locked in' - even for small traders - it should be possible to 'unlock' (there is a fairly ready market) which is not something you can say for every AIM stock!
Well bobbust...you may well be right in the end.
For now, there are obvious headwinds and you would be hard pressed to interpret today's RNS as anything other than, shall we say, suitably cautious!
Few would deny that this is an interesting company with great products ...and that it is in the early stages of what could be great progress...however, the key question is 'what share price does that justify NOW'?
The recent institutional placing at 40p gives a good clue, in my view, and retail punters may be able to pick these up somewhere as low as the 40p's again once the extent of any Q2 (and maybe Q3 too) sales difficulties becomes apparent.
One day Rodney...
Obviously it would be great if the COVID-19 crisis is in no way affecting Q2 sales.
The only point I was trying to make was that one can assume the market must be taking all that into account - hence OPTI hitting near 9 month highs despite COVID-19, which is very encouraging.
Yes all looks very promising.
Q1 sales were solid. I guess even Opti will find Q2 sales tricky but that is probably factored into the share price. Well done to all who took the opportunity to top up in the 25p-50p area so recently!
Triple figures - obviously!
The virtuous circle is that as investors become more excited by 'prospects' rather than more worried by short term news as happened in the second half of last year then any future funding (if required) becomes cheaper and OPTI becomes a club that people want to join. We know that marginal net buying moves the shares quite sharply. Don't forget that people were quite happy to pay 80p plus for a long time before last year's blip. We now have an apparently successful UK retail launch and we have news of USA that could be big for the fairly near future. It really isn't ridiculous to think these could move smoothly into double figures from here in fairly quick time.
They are building a business for the long term - they dont need to give 24/7 360 degree guesses on future results to traders.
The fall to mid 40s was because of disappointment on short term sales...the rise to mid 60s reflects delivery on the company's soothing words at the time. These shares were trading low 80s before the blip and the company is delivering on its statements and is now much further down the line of delivering future growth. In my view, that justifies a price usefully ahead of the low 80s but each to their own...
Interesting what net daily buys of only about c100k shares (£60k) does to the share price.
If the UK retail launch is indeed steaming ahead and if a US launch is indeed on its way then this is will be of serious interest to much larger investors and they will find it hard to buy in size without a placing.
We could see 95p-100p in quick time in my view...and on target sales would give great confidence that it would be upwards and onwards from there.
Director Buying??
Always difficult to catch the low point...but I have started buying again.
Good luck all.
Everything in place now for a sustained trend rise in my view.
Standby...
You may well be correct about a 'return to the 90s'.
Steady underlying buying - and we all know that on breakout stock dries up and the move can be fast.
My own thought is '120p' area. There is certainly a buyer around.
Taken on a 5 year historic view the current price looks 'in the zone' - there was a huge rise early on and big investors are clearly happy to provide capital as required around the 60-65p area, maybe a little higher going forward.
130p looks the aberration, not 65p! A 'good' brexit would help but it is hardly surprising that at the margin there are a few sellers. Will it go below the last placing price? Quite possibly, but presumably not for too long.
Just looking at what might happen if there is a range break to the downside - clearly that hasn't happened yet. The previous range arguably was c62-75p. If the current one of c55-70p breaks then the next might be 40-55p. Clearly, this is not connected to a 'real world' in which fundamentals are improving.
Apparently quite keen selling. Interesting times. Around 55p looks the critical level...strong support after that perhaps not till just under40p?
