I've followed this share on and off for a long time. It is a long term buy but even the house broker FinnCap hasn't increased its price target of 25p, nor increased forecasts: "We are making no changes to forecasts and reiterate our
target price, preferring instead to monitor progress in the rapidly changing competitive
landscape and to determine more clearly the next steps. Suffice to say, the market
opportunity for a cost-effective high-volume antibody test is significant." Be wary of buying this at the top as it will drop back.

Hi Bud,

Taking a break from SEE and just a question of waiting for it to release big contract news. The hard work in making the markets has been done.

Re. React, it is profitable and set to grow substantially now that most realise the importance of high quality deep cleaning. It appears to be on the path to winning some big contracts in the near future as it leverages its relationships with clients. Hardly a sexy share but that is no bad thing.

In the aftermath of coronavirus a lot of things are going to change. People will be washing their hands a lot more (about time too) and deep cleans will be here to stay. The latter will be good for React. The problem with this stock is that so few people have heard of it and even less is actually known about it. The good news is that now is a perfect time to buy them sub 1p.

Very positive trading update. Vindication is sweet: https://www.investegate.co.uk/react-group-plc--reat-/rns/trading-update/202004060700108172I/.

News is coming, I feel sure of it. Of course, this is likely to bobble around until then. Unlike many CEOs of Aim-listed companies it seems Shaun Doak prefers to 'walk the walk' rather than 'talk the talk'. Makes a refreshing change for an AIM stock although it gives traders little to play with...lol

Just one positive trading update. That is all it needs for this to really fly. Holders should email them and encourage them to let us know how they are doing. By all accounts Shaun Doak is hot stuff so I'm sure he isn't one to let an opportunity pass him by.One problem is that hardly anyone knows of this company and it gets overlooked while investors bet on 'sexy' stocks. Well cleaning is now a la mode here in the UK. I bet even Bob Geldof is washing these days.

Price here seems stuck. This site has a lot of technical issues.

A delayed trade from yesterday, right?

Looks like Windsor Castle, Balmoral and Buckingham Palace are going to need specialist deep cleans. That would be a contract worth having.

I am sure the company is very, very busy dealing with demand for deep cleans. They have nationwide coverage via partners so revenues must be way above last year. Given the slow state of testing in the UK demand for deep cleans should last long after peak Coronavirus. Not that we've even reached the peak yet. A little more patience required as we're in volatile markets.

Afternoon all!

This is in React's neck of the woods.

Still, must be plenty of deep cleaning in every hospital across the country.

Time for a trading update, surely?

Today's rise is good. Still, this should go a lot higher over the next few weeks as it sinks in that regular cleaning is one way to beat any virus. Were React to put out an RNS confirming what buyers believe must be exceptional demand for its specialist cleaning services this will really fly.

Big buy at 13.39 for 1,395,325 shares at 0.89p not showing up here. Why is that?

World is obsessed with coronavirus. Nationwide cleaning service such as this will surely upgrade forecasts in due course. They're even shutting McDonalds and Nandos. Deep clean opportunity...lol

I didn't see any money mentioned in that RNS. Well done if you've made some today.

I expect by the end of the week this will be a lot higher as the numbers of those affected by Coronavirus rise in the UK. Here's a neat site to keep an eye on those figures: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

Look at Italy figures. Could UK really be there in 2-3 weeks?

Article mentions that regular cleaning is really required. I think that the surge in demand for specialist cleaning as provided by React will continue long after Coronavirus is off the front pages. Should lead to a permanent step change in demand for its services. Extract from The Atlantic article:

{A school or an office is ultimately only as germ-free as the people in it. A complete disinfection can buy temporary peace of mind, but it’s no substitute for routine, ongoing cleaning. “As soon as we get done with our work, you open the door and somebody walks in,” Storrer says, “and boom, it might be all over.”}

Interesting article, indicating the surge in demand for 'deep cleans':

LSE appears not to be showing all the trades in this stock.Compare to Morningstar: https://tools.morningstar.co.uk/uk/stockreport/default.aspx?tab=0&vw=st&SecurityToken=0P00007WQ6%5D3%5D0%5DE0WWE%24%24ALL&Id=0P00007WQ6&ClientFund=0&CurrencyId=BAS

Does anyone have level 2 here?

I expect that, like Byotrol, they will benefit mightily from the coronavirus effect. Any trading update should confirm this.

Now schools and universities are closed I expect vast majority, if not all, to have deep cleans over the next few months. React must have order book that is full to bursting. They should update the market.
