RE: BEING SOLD ON THE CHEAP, EXTREMELY CHEAPLY!!?25 Jul 2023 16:41
The novacyt share price cannot be chalked up to buying Yourgene 'on the cheap'. What you have to understand is that prior to this news there were doubts whether Novacyt could use the £87m cash they had or whether it was ring-fenced due to the DHSC dispute that now has a court date for June 2024.
With absolutely no news from the company the market cap trickled down from about £180m fifteen months ago all the way to a ridiculous low of £25m a few weeks before the acquisition RNS. Obviously the news has caught the market's attention as novacyt buy a competitor with decent potential, pay off all their debts, and still have over 75% of their cash left in the bank.
