There has to be a reason directors sold out as they would have known about the contract news and figures when they did... Now there's a mixed message RNS after the official tender contract information everyone was waiting for. Short term PIs were due some rewards today :) Something not smelling right here and agree re:rampy twitter feeds vs official RNS. MCAP +£170M and sales could be zero or even say get min £50M based on margins profit and EBITDA with the costs to get manufacturing at scale could still be low. Not something I want to be part of compared to Novacyt and Avacta... So going to continue the faith in NCYT, which is cheap as chips at the mo, and in AVCT to track over longer term as licensing royalties will be where the real money is! SP and buyers seem to agree...

Dont understand why the RNS is so NEGATIVE after all these weeks of waiting to confirm actual gov contract. Why Colin K is putting ODX down? Very confusing after all the amazing tweets and hints to simply state effectively selling / manufacturing Zilch for gov at this time. Is it somethibg that UK gov have said they must do? Has to be contractual right? Doesnt make sense when SP was due to shoot to the moon. Still expect some form of SP rise. Alot of LFTs are needed to meet the testing demands post release of lockdown.

The short time period is more to do with the fact GOV will only give out free tests till end June. Then the expectation is companies will purchase and supply their own tests. Who will they buy from???

This is from the official UK gov email if you order twice weekly LFT testing... I have kids at school and they changed the test pick up site to a 40 min drive away. With mass roll out of LFT and the guidance to get a PCR test if positive result, do we expect PCR testing to rise or fall? I don't believe it would go down as a result!

Plenty of business to go around! Thanks for sharing document as very interesting / useful to know global airport usage.

So who are the French using for PCR testing... where they have the best gold standard supplier local at home??? Anyone know?

Also where we know NCYT have big prescence in Germany - has anyone seen evidence of supplying CENTOGENE?

Is now a good time to buy into Lloyds. Was in COVID stocks but wish to differentiate and spread funds across some more stable assets (like banks??). Cant decide between Metro or Lloyds. Seen some significant big buys though today for Lloyds... Is that normal due to the high number of shares and big IIs dealing or quite a surprise?

Thnking of investing in Metro but not sure after the latest financial results following the £3bn Natwest mortgage sale. Seem to be very poor results and bit risky company at mo. But will keep an eye on.

Weak not week! I do wonder what the SP could be like in another week.

Agree with Gazman. Had little keepy toppy uppy myself earlier today and SP has already gone up by nearly 5%... With no RNS. Shameful - imagine what would happen with an RNS??? Or could there be some MM shenanigans at play to force out the week. Stay strong all and hold tight like all rollercoasters sometimes you go up, then down and up again but remember you always end up where you began... So is it worth jumping out before the ride is over? Each individual inveator to decide - but careful not to get out too low as you may just miss the high or the joys of the destination!

To clarify - is PCR testing dead or a dying breed? How come RFU didnt just go with LFTS if they're so good? Both have a place and that's why I'm invested across the spectrum as believe enough demand for all testing. Just need to be patient.

Sourcebio just won contract to supply England rugby... PCR tests!!! So is testing really 'dead' or a dying requirement??? The shift over next 12 months will be public sector to private. Which will have the stronger profit margins?

Not sure how to read morningstar. No change in fund holdings Feb 2021. Increase in II holdings Feb 2021 with alot of new buyers?

HL showing sell 716 and buy 720. But when Itry a sell price goes to 724...

To be fair the video is not as polished or modern as you would expect if compared to advertising in US, its quite a dated approach and very British... Like an old school training video. Does NCYT really need adverts like this in any case? It all helps at the end of the day and the key messages are there. But no tag line or anything that really makes you remember NOVACYT - hope they didnt spend alot on this marketing. I'm sure they could have used a huge chunk of profits to make a much more expensive version but wpuld it have added value for the expected audience

BTW anyone have thoughts on why only q16s are shown throughout and no q32s???

https://www.gov.uk/government/news/new-uk-government-covid-testing-site-opens-in-edinburgh

New test site opened only today?!?!? Why... Surely vaccinations have rolled out and testing is going down... Or so they say! Good luck all!

If the fork lift driver bought or was given shares in Jan 2020 or earlier then he's probably better off than many of us!! Well deserving a place on the video if not as critical to NCYTs success! Hopefully the Americans will love the British accents as usual :)

Any on this board fancy a sales role in US??? $150k plus 20% for commission... They are serious in growing USA!!! Did somebody say "what NHS contract? Its immaterial now?"

So here are the facts... Reading some saying testing is falling off a cliff edge - this seems to suggest its still high and pretty flat on the PCR front:

Only seen this: https://novacyt.com/2021/02/24/correction-research-and-development-update/

Difference didnt seem to make much impact in France with the SP and activity there... Anyone think it will do much for UK side. Pretty late announcement so not factored into yesterdays trading. How could they publish such a big piece of info inconsistently???

Thanks for sharing Porky
