The trade of 07-Aug-13 12:55:29 (@1.255 1,200,000 Sell* 1.25-1.30 for 15.06k) is marked as a "Sell*" but is actually a "Buy" (verified from a primary source) - I've been watching the buys and sells more closely after the recent directors purchases).

CEO and chairman buy at 1.325p.... http://www.investegate.co.uk/hardide-plc--hdd-/rns/director-pdmr-shareholding/201307091429039355I/

Some positive new test results for AugustaWestland, seeking a replacement for hard chrome plating, and a nice response in the share price: http://www.investegate.co.uk/hardide-plc--hdd-/rns/agustawestland-replacement-test-success/201307010700061769I/

Amongst all the buys and sells, this is the view of N+1 Singer (18June, www.n1singer.com): "Hardide’s interims, as expected, highlight a short term dip in demand in the current year but also confirm significant technical and commercial progress, which should underpin good growth over the medium term. The results reflect a sharp drop off in demand from one major customer as a result of the destocking exercise, which was flagged in the April trading update. We continue to expect a strong recovery in FY14 and take confidence from a 34% increase in the number of active accounts (from 29 to 39), the recent investment in the Business Development team and successful advances with aerospace and advanced engineering partners."

A total of another 1.7 million bought so far this morning... and no sells.

Just totting up the trades on this site (at face value)... the company has seen some sustained buying since 1 March: 4.6 million bought, just 264k sold. The share price has barely moved over this 7 day period, presumably a result of shares traded following the take up of options announced on 27 February? Since the fundamentals look good, I see no reason why the buying won't continue, and with it a new sustained rise in sp (I picked up a further 500k shares in the last two weeks).

I could not attend. But the RNS of yesterday (19 Feb) http://www.investegate.co.uk/hardide-plc-(hdd)/rns/result-of-agm/201302191640012326Y/ states that "Hardide is pleased to announce that all resolutions proposed at the Company's Annual General Meeting, held today, were duly passed". It was an unusually thin trading day, too, with just 13,000 sold.

Seems like a reasonable take up of the share options which started trading Thursday, and which probably led to the easing of the sp over the last couple of days. And it looks like continued buying today in the lead up to the AGM tomorrow.

RNS of 8 February: http://www.investegate.co.uk/hardide-plc/rns/exercise-of-options/201302081532015216X/ stating that dealing in these shares is expected to start today. There are now 1,024,582,738 ordinary shares in issue Thanks for your technical posts on saturday, nikylauda

Hello eddygrundy. I do not think you have missed the train. All we have seen is a bit of an awakening to the company's prospects, and I think it has very much further to go. But as always, do your own research! Cheers, LG

The main news behind yesterday's share price rise is the new blue chip customer EDF Energy use of Hardide coating for the Hinkley Point B nuclear power plant (boilerfeed steam valves), see http://www.engineeringcapacity.com/news101/process-news/treatments/hardide-for-hinkley-point-b This is particularly good news, and more proof of the company's potential. I'm predicting a further substantial rise tomorrow.

Rogerramjetlse: the new major shareholders which have appeared on the HDD www site are TD Direct Investing and Ferlim Nominees (the others appeared in earlier listings)

... is probably in part the result of a sizeable (5%) loan note conversion (and on low volume) http://www.investegate.co.uk/hardide-plc/rns/conversion-of-loan-note/201301161210016863V/

nice spot, RRJ...

...probably the general market rise following the US "fiscal cliff" respite must explain much... after all, still looks like plenty of upside with this one. Happy New Year to all.

... are presumably behind today's activity http://www.investegate.co.uk/hardide-plc/rns/preliminary-results/201212100700070824T/
