Listen to our latest Investing Matters Podcast episode 'Uncovering opportunities with investment trusts' with The AIC's Richard Stone here.
Been holding from sub 8p, so now a bagger for me.
What's everyone's target price on ORPH?
I set myself a target of 20p to sell, but with the CV19 phase 2 situation, there's going to be ever more demand for testing, trials etc. so can see this going much higher, especially with Cathal being so good at keeping market up to date with every titbit of good news.
Somethings happening! Crazy high volume as well with big buys / sells after the bell.
Looking forward to next week.
100p + here we come..
Rich
Big thanks for the summaries Wally, much appreciated.
Hope we can crack and hold 15p today

Tried some dummy buys today. I can buy £10k shares for 64.55p, so there's got to be a big seller out there still - Premier Miton still reducing stake? Would buy more, but suspect price may slip a bit as no real volume of buyers and as ever, no media coverage. A small, profitable and growing company selling medical equipment during a global pandemic, that no one seems interested in? Why
Agree, good to see that the £5m ventilator order for NHS has been fulfilled and that SLE have delivered £7m orders.
I just can't believe this share is so far under the radar - the volume of shares traded each day is minimal. Just needs some coverage by media - who it seems would rather tip companies with bombed out accounts, doing fundraises rather than a profitable, growing company selling medical equipment during a pandemic - doesn't make any sense to me...
I've no idea why people are selling their shares?
Okay making a few hundred quid profit is nice, but missing the bigger picture as this clearly is on its way up and 10p will be broken before end of this week and will hold, before next step up.
I've been holding since 2012 and won't be selling any of mine until we get a deal
Rich
ABF results irrelevant. ABF make bulk of profit on Primark whose shops were shut during CV and have no on line offering.
PFD Q2 results should be good with increased supermarket sales with people eating at home; comfort foods (Kipling etc) and renaissance in home baking.
I can see this being 100p+ by end of year, especially if Hovis 49% stake reduces debt further.
Gradual decline in share price from mid 90s to 84p is just algo trade moving price around on low volume to shake out weaker PI hands.
Definitely a hold for me and may get some more if price drops below 80p.
Rich
Premier Miton reduce holding by 1.56% hence sale of just over 1m shares yesterday. They still hold16.35% however.
Assume they have finished selling now as declared on a TR1.
Hopefully onwards and upwards..
I can't believe there are still some people selling at 66p into the rise. This is a great investment with virtually no risk as I see it. Small, profitable growth company selling medical equipment during pandemic crisis! Hopefully maiden dividend next year.
All it will take is some good media coverage and this will move permanently into the 70ps IMO
Good update again today and lets hope its followed by further updates as the remaining £2m ventilator contract for the NHS is filled.
FTSE reshuffle next takes place 2nd September - PFD will be included in FTSE250, so should see more II buying again for tracker funds.
Delayed buy / sell 5m shares at 85p just shown up from yesterday(?) at 1845 hrs (not U/T). Hopefully if there was a big seller out there, then PFD can now resume move north..
How do IHC manage to write an RNS with 30% increase in sales in H1, but share price falls in early trading? Its because they wrote...
1) Only 40% ventillators sourced (although this was a one off order not expected before CV19, therefore a bonus!)
2) Increase in sales H1 biased.
These guys need to milk the positive news and gloss over the items which some investors (traders) will take to be negative news.
Last time the RNS was issued twice as the same thing happened.
Please BOD, get someone better to write your RNS results / trade updates - frustrating that we can't break 70p+
There will be huge demand for all healthcare equipment in my view. CV19 has made people realise the value of the NHS and they will be more happy to pay more taxes to fund better services in future. With neo-natal care, healthcare providers will spend whatever is needed to look after premature babies; no will argue that this spending is discretionary.
IHC just needs some good media coverage and someone like Simon Thompson at Investors Chronicle to champion. I might drop him an email, flagging up that results are due in the next week.
The trade update is due next week (probably Thursday 13/8 if similar day to last year). I can't believe it will be anything other than good and should be one of the few companies to benefit from CV19 (ventillators and other supplies for NHS) Despite positive news from IHC and recent takeover of another profitable company (with oversubscribed fund raise at 65p), the share price is still langushing. For whatever reason this company seems to get very little media coverage, so daily volume is low. I've just added to my holding at crazy low price of 62.15p. Can't believe there isn't at least 25% upside here in a week. NB this isn't a CV19 all or nothing share, but a solid investment in a growing company that intends to pay a dividend next year and is already profitable. Good luck all holders.
Money taken out of my account for subscribed shares plus also the extras I applied for - this was before the result of todays GM and Open Offer. Doesn't mean I will get all I requested for as share offer oversubscribed so will be scaled back. Hopefully will find out before tomorrow and will get refund if my total request isn't met. Positive news regardless and I expect after a bit of profit taking, that this share is primed to move into the 70-80p band without any further price slippage.. GLA Rich
