Cheers Theosus - IMO, the only thing that changed since peaking at £40 was sentiments and uncertainty caused by MW. Now if the company did mistakes, it will correct them thanks to MW. But the business itself is pretty unique and strong cash generative as it is located mainly in a very wealthy region. Each patient has to pay his/her treatment upfront so cash flow is really excellent as they do not need to chase payments as they do in most businesses.

As we said before, just the hospitasl, medical equipment, doctors, nurses are worth a few billions. As NMC is flagging up strong business activity (due probably to worries about Coronavirus as people checking their health more than before), the company unique business model is something that many funds would like to have in their portfolio. So regardless of SP daily fluctuations, the business is sound and Muddy Waters issue could be considered as an awakening call to do things in a better way than before. So I would hold on to my shares regardless.

MW may also be considered a very positive issue as from now on everything will be more transparent. For such a business there will be no lack of bidders. I am thinking also about Saudis as they would like to expand in their country.

in any takeover bid, the number of hospitals, medical equipment, nurses and doctors and how much treatment per patient is paid upfront alone is worth a few billions.

What the law says regarding those using lies and deception to steal millions to pension funds and shareholders ?

Destroy the hyenas and the viruses before they destroy you ! This is the right way I was hoping will happen. Attack them and unearth all their Sh....t !!! No stone will be left unturned. Even if we go bankrupt !
"Regarding this matter, KGI is talking to other shareholders who are not satisfied with recent actions by hedge fund Muddy Waters to join our complaint. Based on our conversations, lot of shareholders don´t understand recent developments and are interested in joining our complaints, because they are sure that fundament is strong behind NMC Health."

Agree they cannot reply as they may receive thousands of Emails, while they are so concentrated on preparing their defense against MW accusations. Then any email could from anybody meaning any misplaced word or comma could have a meaning. So I am for a total blackout of information coming from NMC until their response is ready and released to the market.

For those comparing NMC with so many fake companies that do not even exist (small oilers, biotechs), theu need to check their website. They provide healthcare, have fertility clinics end treat every illness.
19 Countries - 200 Facilities - 2,000 Doctors - 20,000 Allied & Nursing Staff - 8.5 Mn Patients Treated.
Every hospital has an address that can be checked.
What is really happening is their business model is so great and cash generative the sharks and hyenas, in a concerted effort, would like to destroy its share value to take it over with peanuts.

As everyone is now baffled by this drop, people will also not understand when it will bounce and will not stop rising. These things happen all the time.

Shorts are now at their lowest level (2.26%).

A share is not for a few hours. It is for years.

NMC said the business was doing well. So what's the problem is one is long ? Those who sold by watching the fluctuations every second may well regret it.

There are more than 20 companies where share value was destroyed by MW. Many without any sound reason, just via lies and deception. Why all these companies do not join forces and take together MW to court and bankrupt it ? This is the best way to defend against these vampires and vultures surviving on prays.

I only hope he did not overlook or even underestimate the management quality and experience and by which expertise they are surrounded.

JAdam - NMC are not dragging their feet with the review. This is a serious issue. They are accused of something they haven't done and their response will require time, accuracy and facts. Employing a FBI man for the investigation means they are taking this seriously as they are accused of committing a crime. The question nobody has asked is this: Assuming NMC are right and MW are not at their first attack on other companies using sometimes deception to manipulate the share price, don't you think a few people may end up in jail and their company will have big troubles to survive ? Everybody neglected this scenario and this should be taken into account as it can definitely happen. You cannot accuse wrongly someone without facing the music if you are wrong ... Think about it.

I followed the SP trend for a few days (am and pm behaviour).
I have a feeling today it will close blue.

Added too as in addition to the present weakness, there is an excellent dividend. There will be a recovery of some sort as nothing goes non-stop down or up.

Shorts closing fast.

The founder of NMC Health is looking to buy out his Emirati partners and return to an "active leadership position" at the embattled hospital group, according to people briefed on his plans.The 77-year-old Indian-born entrepreneur BR Shetty is conducting an operational review of NMC ahead of formal talks with shareholders and regulators, these people said.Shares in NMC, which owns and operates hospitals in the Middle East, have fallen more than 60 per cent since short-seller Muddy Waters last year questioned its asset values, cash balance and debt levels. The claims have been rejected by NMC, which has appointed former FBI director Louis Freeh to carry out an investigation into the allegations.Mr Shetty stepped down as NMC's chief executive in 2017 but remains the largest shareholder. On top of the NMC share price decline, he has also been hit by a sharp decline in the value of his other main business, financial services group Finablr, which has fallen more than 60 per cent in the past few weeks.One person briefed on Mr Shetty's strategy said the businessman had made the Abu Dhabi government aware of a potential plan that would see him partner with new investors to buy the shares owned by Emirati investors Saeed al-Qebaisi and his relative Khalifa al-Muhairi, who control a stake of about 24 per cent in NMC.Last month the pair sold £375m of their shares to repay debt owed to Deutsche Bank and Credit Suisse to meet margin calls as the stock price collapsed, reducing their stake in the company.A spokesman for Mr Muhairi, who is executive chairman at NMC, said: "Khalifa remains committed to the financial success of NMC as a business. Given the ongoing investigation he is unable to comment at this time."Private equity firms, including Apollo, have previously considered taking a stake in NMC, according to two people familiar with the situation. Apollo declined to comment.Bankers are sceptical about Mr Shetty's ability to fund any transaction, saying he would need financing to raise his stake in the FTSE 100 company he founded in 1975.Finablr was affected by the Muddy Waters attack given it has a similar shareholder base to NMC. Its Travelex currency business was also the target of a cyber attack that forced it to shut down over the new year. Finablr came under further pressure last month when it disclosed that more than half of its stock had been used as security when buying the currency platform in 2015.But the people familiar with Mr Shetty's plans point out that he has retained his 15 per cent stake in the healthcare group throughout its recent crisis without having to sell any NMC shares.One of the people close to Mr Shetty said that the company should strengthen its corporate governance procedures depending on the outcome of the independent investigation carried out by Mr Freeh."If there are lapses, it is important that we work together with other shareholders to remedy any such governance failings," the person said.
