global IP for supercapacitors,new production line in process of being set up, progress report and production update due anytime soon,

:-)

Schroders buying in the 40-43p range on Friday to add further to their holding, ho much more I wonder , a fraction under 24% so far....I think we all see a great deal more added value over coming weeks :-)

thanks Oogle , we should be due an official update anytime soon :-) pull back on sp not a surprise as most of us would expect, however it provides opportunity to add at lower price clealry for those who see future value closer to 70p+ (pre market crash) and with AIR expecting a sharp upturn in business on lockdowns easing, as they are starting, then the sp should recoverand then some imo as the market for private charter will be bigger than before as folk do thier best to avoid crowded airlines and airports...possibly never been a better time to consider an investment in private charter flights than now due to the virus issues imo ....

missed the rns today.......however Schroders now increasedm to a fraction under 24%

and with at least a further $33m in addition to where we are today investment in the 3d side, current mcao £33m, looks like a great deal more value here (almost twice)

article from last year announcing the initial move by Stratasys and looks like we are arriving at the later stages of investment and transformation for XAR :-)

Stratasys Xaar Investment

The new investment in Xaar is substantial. They explain:

“… an agreement with Xaar plc to purchase shares of Xaar 3D Ltd. that will increase Stratasys’s stake in Xaar 3D from 15 to 45 percent, with Xaar plc, through its fully owned subsidiary, Xaar 3D Holdings, having the remaining 55 percent. In addition, the agreement includes an option for Stratasys to acquire the remaining shares of Xaar 3D. The transaction is subject to Xaar plc shareholder approval.”

So it seems that Stratasys is very confident in recent developments at Xaar 3D and wishes to push it along as fast as they can. Also note that they likely intend to absorb the company entirely by purchasing the remaining 55% at some point in the future.

Mass Customization with Xaar?

My suspicion is that this will eventually lead to a new line of manufacturing products from Stratasys using the Xaar HSS technology. These will be huge machines capable of mass manufacturing of custom thermoplastic objects. That’s something we really haven’t seen yet, as 3D printing of today can produce custom objects only at low volumes.

If this move is successful, it could boost Stratasys’ revenues significantly, as the manufacturing business is vastly larger than their current market,

thanks Chas , I'll let this play out here over coming weeks personally, as Schroders have secured over 20% and rising and ceo took £49k at 39.5p last week, Stratasys are clearly lining up XAR for bigger investment, almost twice our current mcap and the figures speak forthemselves for those who can hold onto their investment in XAR...a small pull back on price would be expected, however, anyweakness imo should be seen as a buying opportunity as clealry much greater value appears to be upcoming and with the likelyhood of lockdown being eased, revenue and work load will increase and then things will start warming up further over next few weeks :-)

new report finds over 1300 private jets flown in and out of UK during lockdown

''rich families were also chartering private jets to reduce the risk of exposing their families to the virus by avoiding commercial flights and busy airports.''

“Over the past few weeks, there’s undoubtedly been a rise in demand for short notice on-demand charter relating to the coronavirus Covid-19,” he said. “We’ve had a very significant number of inquiries for group evacuations and from corporates and individuals.

“Initially, inquiries were focused on evacuations from south-east Asia and other affected areas. But, increasingly, we are now seeing clients looking to take a private flight between a variety of global destinations, to avoid exposure to crowds in [commercial] cabins and airport terminals.

and with at least a further $33m in addition to where we are today investment in the 3d side, current mcao £33m, looks like a greatdeal more value here (almost twice)

liked the overview and confirms why I invested here, looks like we jumped the gun on improved google rankings by a week or two but clearly all looks like they are acting on the plan and confident of achieving greater value going forward, happy to hold and wait a few weeks for a rise from these levels :-)

bit of profit taking today and why not, we've jumped back to more sensible levels and with CEO's purchase of £49k @ 39.5p it suggest confidence in the figures and his determination to drive on from here over coming weeks to return even greater value...

agreed saint p, position patience :-)
