Finaly seeing a good price lift, after a good set of results. .

Lower dependence on a few large customers and total number of repeat customers increased by 45%. Airbus test programme continues to deliver encouraging results with generic testing by customer expected to be complete in 2013. Indications of potential aerospace applications for Hardide beyond hard chrome replacement. We increased our marketing spend and will increase it again in the coming year. At the same time, we will further develop our technology for use in new applications and new industries. Our markedly stronger balance sheet enables us to do this with much greater confidence than hitherto. The directors are optimistic that the coming year will see further growth in sales and that the additional development spend will also benefit future years."

Engineering company Hardide (HDD) reported a 49% increase in turnover to 2.91 million pounds and pre-tax profits of 265,000 pounds for the year to September after a loss of 446,000 pounds in the previous year. The improvement was attributed to a relatively small 12% increase in the cost of sales, while sales rose by 49%. The improved margin was down to fixed production salaries and improved utilisation of assets. The company is now looking to increase its marketing spend in order to continue this level of growth. The shares climbed by 0.19p to 1.08p.

Let us hope to see the last of below 1p and begining of a new era.

Long over due,this stock surely needs a rerating,with new customers and new applications,this company is no longer a depended on one major client.What would give it a boost if it opened the facility in the US.

Hardide plc (AIM:HDD), the provider of unique metal surface engineering technology, gives the following trading update. The Board is pleased to announce that further to the updates made in March and June, much of the momentum generated in the first half of the year has continued in the second half, though not at the same level. As such revenue for the year will be at least 45% higher than the previous year and the Group will exceed market expectations for the year ending 30 September 2012. Hardide continues to add new customers and develop new applications for existing customers. Investment in business and market development also continues and the Group's pipeline across the key markets of oil & gas, flow control, aerospace and advanced engineering continues to advance.

Most of the shares have been bought below £4

That would be a good sign if Housten site would reopen,that will give Hardide extra capicity.

I see that in the trades it is shown as a sell,but it is a buy

Got 400000 @ 0.0058,cant believe getting this at this price considering the positive trading update.

I have been holding for a long time,my iniatial buy was at 12.25,my average now is 1p,I hold 7m

Increased my holding by 1m,did not think I would get at this price again,hopefully on the next results,we should cross 1.5 good luck to all

This is an old reasearch,but still valid http://www.hardide.com/documents/mst07.pdf

The sad thing is that the company has not had any media reporting,but anyway,as the company keeps adding new customers it will be less reliant on its major customer,and make the company less risky.Hopefully we will hear good news on aerospace results soon

From trading update worth repeating: Meanwhile the Group continues to add new customers and develop new applications for existing customers. Investment in business and market development also continues and the board is pleased with the continued development of the Group's pipeline across the key markets of oil & gas, flow control, aerospace and advanced engineering.

I bought 1000000 at T 20 @ £9305.20 including all costs,my holding goes up to 6000000

RR they have given a very positive trading update,hope this will give the share price a boost

What I was intrested in the,report was that the aerospace industry is primarily responsible for applying hard chrome plating on a massive scale. Hard chrome plating owes a lot to the aerospace and defense industries maturation from the industrial boon to World War II arms proliferation. Because of this, hard chrome plating success amongst the aerospace and defense and later on other industries such as automotive.
