Deja Vu!2 Aug 2023 09:04
Morning all - I first bought this share in 2017...i thought it would be valuable to remind all who are starting on their journey with this company, are still with thsi company and have hope and thent eh 3rd type - people like me - who own still way too many shares. Why the negativity when they have such high hopes for the future? Well :
June 2017 trading update : The Company has adequate cash resources to meet its foreseeable needs and the Board is increasingly confident of a successful conversion of the growing pipeline of high value enquiries received for licensing and manufactured products.
June 2018 TU : The Board of CAP-XX is pleased to announce that as it approaches the end of its financial year ending 30 June 2018, the Company has received a sharp increase in enquiry levels across all product ranges, including its recently announced 3 Volt technology. Total enquiries, if converted to orders, would amount to annualised sales in excess of US$20m per annum,
June 2019 TU : The rising level of sales enquiries, when considered together with our previously announced product development initiatives, gives the Board increasing confidence for the outlook for the next financial year and beyond.
May 2020 - Covid - TU - The current sales order book for the underlying CAP-XX product lines is greater than twice the level at the same point last year. This increase has been driven by the medical, security and telecommunication market segments.
June 2021 TU - The Directors are encouraged by the recent performance of the Company and view the outlook with increasing confidence.
July 2022 Tu - The Board is encouraged by the outlook for FY23 and beyond and expects to see continued strong growth in product sales.
Todays Tu - Although the market remains relatively volatile, with ongoing geo-political impacts coupled with economic headwinds such as inflation and the energy crisis, the Board looks forward to the 2023/24 financial year with confidence. This expectation is supported by a broadly based increase in orders across the product portfolio and a notable strengthening of the book-to-bill ratio in the past three months.
All this confidence has led to a decline in the SP from 12p to 1.4p and huge dilution for the poor shareholders who have - quite idiotically and with only themselves to blame - believed the opportunity afforded by this company and the very obvious 'enlightened future' we've been promised for the past 6 years. I'd just question any one reading todays update and thinking. well the board are optimsitic...its a not a new phenomenon!
Ho hum, roll on 2024 when they will no doubt be really optimistic!
