OK, I’m setting myself up for loads of sxxt comments but unless I am mistaken, today’s price action and finish counts as a ‘key reversal’ in charting terms.

This is always regarded as very significant and usually presages a significant future rise in the SP.

We shall see………..(or not).

Note that Amiral Gestion have bought another 100k today. I guess they must be confident the deal will take place.

Very interesting to see the RNS showing Amiral Gestion as a holder of 4.7m shares. They are a French wealth manager. The possible bidder, Keensight, are a European buy-out fund with a good mix of French executives on board……..

Agreed, 81p is a steel. Let’s hope a rival comes in with something more sensible.

‘divi in the balance’ - what a stupid comment. If a deal does not happen why would Niox not pay a dividend?

In every sense, Niox appears to be a very clean company from the financial perspective. It has cash, no debt, strong margins and free cash conversion plus excellent growth prospects. It also has around £600m of tax losses so profits for the foreseeable future futures will be tax free. What is not to like?

So the only issues can only lie on the medtech side but Niox has a dominant position with its Feno device.

I simply cannot see that the bid or potentially a higher one will not proceed. At 75p the market is seriously understating these prospects and the shares are a bargain.

N.B. The RNS indicates the possibility of negotiations with other parties.

What the hell has been going on today? The trades look most unusual and manipulated.

I’m just starting to wonder whether the lack of info/RNS is all about our new FD/CFO having taken a critical look at the numbers and not liked what he has found.

Wouldn’t put it beyond the previous idiot to have taken completely unrealistic assumptions that will no longer pass the auditors scrutiny.

Well that was a star move……..

That’s as may be but it’s pretty clear that our dear not so good friends at Heights Capital have a standing order with their broker to dump any good quantity of shares they hold as soon as they can shift them. That is probably the reason for the SP being held down.

The rumor mill has been at full speed this morning and I suspect sellers are going to regret their actions. A little bird has told me that the previous brokers are involved with a placing for another company and certainly NOT AVCT. Someone has either mischievously or in error put 2+2 and made 5!

Chairman has his sights on rather more than £1!

The annual report and audited numbers should be published at the end of April. We now have an CFO with great experience of NASDAQ and an obviously talented US citizen as our CEO. Added to which we have today’s highly positive RNS to wet the appetite of US fund managers.

My prediction is that we will see an announcement of some sort of introduction/IPO to NASDAQ when we see the final results coupled with the disposal of DX.

How tight for a strong upward ride….

NIOX continues to deliver growth, profits and cash. It has around £600 million of tax losses so pretty well all its profits are tax free. It is starting to open up the vast potential of the USA market and has an exciting home use product in the final stages of development which could add enormously to revenues. There is no real competitor for the NIOX product.

What more could an investor possibly want? BUY, BUY, BUY!!!

Intriguing tweet by CC today ‘ Next chapter for AVCT now loading ….stay tuned’.

What exactly does this augur? Some imminent major announcement?

On 22 October someone bought 850,000 shares at 9.5p for a cost of £80,750.

Now given the dire state of this awful company, the almost complete lack of marketability in the shares coupled with the gloom surrounding AIM shares WHY ON EARTH WOULD ANYONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND DO THAT? Surely, absent other factors it was a one way bet to making a nasty loss?

Or is there something else going on here that is imminently about to be announced? If so, the above mentioned trade looks highly suspicious and may well be INSIDE TRADING.

Or the rise may be being caused by the short closing out? Much more likely.

Can this note be posted in full?

Taking a simplistic view of recent events, why on earth would a CEO of a company expose themselves to ridicule or even criminal charges of misleading investors/the market by making the positive comments she did in the 16 September RNS?

As has been said elsewhere, the so called analyst of DB either doesn’t understand the science/process involved or has another agenda. He is most likely to be proved a complete and utter idiot.

Yes, obviously a bidding war but if you have a starting price of say, 150p is it realistic to expect an eventual takeout at many multiple times that figure?
