The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring Jeremy Skillington, CEO of Poolbeg Pharma has just been released. Listen here.
I have trimmed my holding a little in anticipation of a dip, but I know if I sold out fully, everything would get announced and I would miss out!!
The pain of investing!
I think UKRTC / ABC-19 is a tarnished brand with all the GLP / Lord Bethell noise around it.
Lots of other antibody test providers, including Surescreen who I would imagine would be chosen ahead of ABC-19?
I remember that one ??
At least it is 4.30pm this time
That article is laughably bad!!
Talks about cash burn increasing but not the reason why or the revenue post EoY.
I think my 11 year old could do a better analysis!
Next week was stated by Luke Salters - a business development associate at DAM - couple of people messaged him after he posted on LinkedIN:
"Exciting new partnership with Omega Diagnostics. DAM Health can now offer the most accurate Antigen testing equipment on the current market with 96.4% in sensitivity. We are now offering the GOLD standard for all Antigen test kits."
In a couple of messages with enquiring Omega holders, he confirmed that next week they would start to use the Visitect test that would be approved then.
We wait and see.........
The other thing I am excited about is that we may finally find out our capacity - we know it should be 2m per week, but surely the work Toyota did has increased that further - looks like we will find out soon (assuming Col decides to tell us!!)
Friday tomorrow - you know that means FOMO time!!
I have some money coming in tmw so plan to open a small SB which means either a barnstorming RNS or I place my SB and it drops to low 30's - apologies if the latter happens!
Funny few days - ABDX 40% up yesterday, 20% down today
AVCT up yesterday and suddenly jumping up today about 20%
NCYT was at one point up 9% but now down about the same
Rises all on the back of no news..............almost like 2020 again!!
ODX staying pretty static throughout though - hopefully our time will come!
AVCT have said nothing either, though sentiment is better than here.
It will come............hopefully!
Only link I can see is that the govt perhaps is going to cough up as they owe both NCYT and ABDX (and us a small chunk from that ABDX money)
Interesting to see if that means the contracts will also get supported - that would be very nice for us with regard to the ABC-19 test........
Up 10% after a painful few days for them too.
Hopefully some positive news about ABC-19?
"i suspect there was colin - who played down the gov contract"
I think he played it down the govt contracts as at that time he knew the contract was for the Mologic test, but the test had failed Porton Down and thus, any manufacturing would occur later than anticipated.
Take from that what you want!
I have been hoping that for months!!
God knows what they are doing / planning!!
As I said, to get an EGM you need to have 10% of the holders request it (and then the board approve it).
As most shares are in private hands, and 183m in total, you need to pull together enough holders to have 18.3m shares - can't see that being possible tbh............
They are opening up booster jabs to 40+ and potentially giving 16 & 17 year olds the 2nd dose (I didn't realise until yesterday that 16 & 17 years olds currently can only get 1 jab which when travelling, means most countries dom't see that as vaccinated so you still have to test / quarantine!
I am looking forward to:
- learning the value of the Surescreen revenue - I am setting a min of £10m
- learning some more about the DAM contract
- updates on the approvals ( I would be happier with getting at least 1 under our belt prior to 25thNov!)
But agree this could be a painful meeting if its just 'waiting for approvals' and 'its all coming'
you have to apply for professional test and then self test in the US...........
Lets hope so as the SP has momemntum to the downside - I remain invested as I believe the research I have done but at the same time, have some concerns about what is happening and the speed - its November and over halfway through a 'transformational year' - the DHSC contract has not started churning out tests and currently we can only sell our test professionally into Europe.
We have a lot in place that are positive - DAM contract (dependent on test approval) DHSC contract (dependent on test approval it would seem) - being realisitc, it is not a given that the approvals will pass? Thats not deramping, that is healthy risk managament. We have not had a great record with approvals in the past - ABC-19 waiting for home use approval - never came / Mologic antigen test failed at PD in Q1 2021.
AVCT have Medusa don't they - they seem pretty solid?
Some good analysis again by Shredz - so stage 7 of 9 - getting close to the business end of things - been a long slog but maybe some light at the end of the tunnel?
