RE: another RNS20 Oct 2022 08:20
Several reasons actually.
1) a recent placing of £1.5m done and out of the way, so they have cash for a while.
2) a Director buy of £300k. Surely no one in their right mind being in such a position of close proximity to the company’s operations would get such a call s
3) from the recent Interim RNS : Verditek has seen an encouraging growth in enquiries from potential customers in the six-months to 30 June 2022, and around 50 projects have been delivered in the period, a combination of commercial and trial projects.
4) in light of the current and ongoing energy crisis and rising cost for fuel I thought this is a sector with huge growth potential
5) Successful certification should allow our panels to be sold in most countries
6) The Group is currently developing its Generation 2 panels with enhanced fire-resistance, with a target of producing the world's first lightweight semi-flexible Class-A rated fire-resistant solar panel. This will open up potential markets for solar roof-top applications in the UK, Italy and Australia.
7) Verditek also continues to sell panels direct to businesses; we are delighted to announce that we have recently secured an order to supply 120kW solar panels to an international logistics provider in Thailand who will use the panels on one of their distribution centres. The order uses standard sizes panels from existing inventory, which will be modified according to the specification of the customer. Verditek expects to deliver this project in Q4 2022.
8) collaborations and partnerships still ongoing with Paragraf, Metrotile and PROTAN AB as far as I’m aware.
9) We are in discussions to license our manufacturing technology to a larger scale, automated plant and we have received expressions of interest from others to build similar plants elsewhere in the world.
10) Despite recent challenges, we continue to see positive opportunities develop for Verditek and believe the significant investment into the development of our flexible, lightweight solar panels will soon bring about meaningful financial reward.
In this last reason I chose to see an emphasis on the word ‘soon’.
I do not believe Verditek had yet seen any contracts or revenue generated by the association with Bradclad and so current revenue levels should either continue or, as stated by the company, increase in the near future. I therefore cannot see how yesterday’s announcement suddenly puts the company in danger of administration - were VDTK in danger before the Bradclad announcement? - or warrants a drop of 40% in the mcap & sp. These were at higher levels before the Bradclad announcement so I choose to see yesterday’s price action as an overreaction and us now being oversold.
I think the BOD are highly experienced and well connected in the sphere and most likely have a far longer term view than many pis and are willing to bide their time for success. They have a huge amount of shares so value increase will benefit them mor
