The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring Jeremy Skillington, CEO of Poolbeg Pharma has just been released. Listen here.
@CalderKate has given a decent opinion, which from what I've understood is that she is positive about the future of ODX.
DM me, it's not that difficult. You didn't get the RNS of a placing. It's now over 2 months late.
THERE IS NO PLACING
@benny-hill finnCap are better at valuing companies and are very well known in the industry. The ODX non-covid business is valued at £105m - £155m alone. I'm not saying that the select few who disagree are armchair investors and novices, but finnCap are very good at what they do.
Of course we will get quotes from the finnCap note, stating something generic, but to allay that, this quotes are not relevant.

Clearly looking at this differently to a select few, but I would in my opinion say that Omega Diagnostics could be bought out soon @ c. £275m, but I would say a cheeky offer anywhere between 90p to 165p could well be tabled.
ODX have been very quite of late, they are expanding fast with their jobs and are certainly in the growth phase.
But as it stands, the finnCap puts the sum-of-parts valuation at upper end of £155m (without covid-19 testing). Lansdown have expanded ODX partnerships beyond DAM Health and across multiple countries. Adding to this is the CE-mark approved for self-use along with FDA application. Potentially 2million tests production capacity would generate revenues at £300m-£700m from the covid-19 testing. Could well (with some discount applied) add a further c. £125m in value.
@CalderKate, a very good question.
New Variants of Concern are a very high probability along with the Rest of the World is still under severe duress. Number of deaths exceeds 13,000 per day.
Until the world becomes vaccinated, testing and other measures will become a part of the global way of life.
"And what's the possibility/ probability of a new variant of concern arriving of a virus which is becoming more contagious ? Untill a bigger % of the world population is vaccinated the likelihood of a new variant will remain"

As I said previously, it is interesting that PwC predict medical device sector to have >$25 billion in M&A.
Bodes well for many UK companies.
@unionpacific choo choo indeed. PwC predict c. >$20 billion M&A activity for this year.
@TWatcher. You lost me at Pop...
So didn't get the 7am RNS you wanted. Shame - THERE IS NO PLACING.
Thanks for the link @lagmassive, they are not the FDA but a US based regulatory news. They have been around for 50 years, and it's good they are picking up the ODX news on CE-mark for self-test.
@TWatcher where is the RNS you've been predicting for more than 2 months? You linked price action with your fictional placing, where was the placing RNS this morning?
Non existent, because THERE IS NO PLACING
Sorry can't take you seriously as you don't understand cash flow, can't read contracts or financials, don't understand the fundamentals, don't know what a growth company is, can't value a company, don't understand M&A, no experience but lot's of predictions.
Buyout is coming
GL
This has proved very useful for people inorder to understand the buyout:
Interesting that Omega Diagnostics has a lot to offer investors, but the true value of a business is understanding the business in parts and as a whole.
finnCap analysts exclude valuation of the lateral flow business from their target price, but put a sum-of-parts valuation for the rest of the business at £105m – £155m. That's >58p per share.

Current announcements include CE-mark for self-use that opens the #ODX market to 440million EU citizens.

They are also weighing up FDA self-test application.

Letter from the DHSC indicates Omega are able to use the equipment to allow the business to grow and provides strategic capacity for *future pandemic preparedness*.

ODX confirmed that they are still in conversation with the DHSC
From recent ODX presentations, Lansdown Strategic Capital (LSC) were engaged to expand commercial lead. ODX partnered w DAM Health (focusing on Spain, Mexico and many other countries) and LSC have new partners lined up!
Although some speculation exists on #ODX Gov contract, the contract states nothing is owed to the Government if contract expires. See in depth view:

With 2million production capacity per week, £3-£7 per test, the revenue potential is between £300m - £700m p.a.

ODX is not just a covid business the diagnostics arm includes HIV detection and allergy sector (markets in $billions)...

Recent RNS, #ODX state:
“…there is no immediate need to raise additional capital…”
i.e. “…no immediate need to raise…” = medium/long term
Many have missed the above points as #ODX have a good runway.
https://twitter.com/marik_investor/status/1488049742710194182
ODX have a revenue stream with new sales coming online in the near future. There is no immediate need for a fund raise and current market cap (<£20m 11p/share) is well under true value. This looks like an opportunity missed that could well hit many multiples this year.
Do you remember when Damon and Columbo claimed CE-marking had failed back in December? Couldn't read the SP action then, doesn't bode well right now.
Ketchup HTK version as opposed to the HNWI sauce.
The sauce who spread the placing rumours said there would be news today by 9.30. That just didn't materialise. Why?
- a) because the sauce was wrong. and b) because the it was out of date by 2 months, 2 days and now 5 hours.
Same goes for @Twatcher, who claimed an RNS at 7am this morning.
Where is it?
You lost me at Twatch...
Thanks @CaptainSwag nice balance today.
Looks like buyout is coming.
@Latino, the guy who started the rumour claimed it would be by 9.30am today. Nothing!
@Prime yes they are looking up. Could be something similar to this for ODX:

@unionpacific, Chris Lea knows his stuff. Great CFO.
@TopCat1953, the share price would move up.
