Perspective Required4 Aug 2020 11:04
I really do think that some are missing the bigger picture here and placing too much emphasis on a couple of contracts handed out yesterday. They are not the only NHS contracts being tendered for, there will be larger ones handed out over the coming days. Also, whilst we all want to see transparency in such awards (which can be sought politely), there is seldom any benefit in shareholders openly calling a company's customer corrupt etc. (especially when larger awards are to come!).
Also, some are jumping to assumptions without even knowing the facts. We don't know what NCYT even tendered for - they may have chosen to sell their finite number of tests into more profitable markets, or they may simply have been 'sold out' to existing customers. Let's not jump to conclusions without the facts.
As it is, we've seen a very small drop in SP (easily recoverable), yet the company's excellent fundamentals remain.
SPs never travel in a straight line. No company has a God given right to win every contract and, far more importantly, successful organisations tend to pick and choose which contracts to chase.
This is a very good company, with excellent products selling into an extremely strong market. Patience required.
Strong HOLD for me. DYOR.
