all figures expected, ..very good, new team in place as we know and Stratasy with the option of a complete takeover, John Milss and the new team is why Investors Chronicle highlighted XAR as a bargain share at 35p to 40p because the old team had lost it's way, he is very succesful as posted by another poster and with £25m cash income of £49m and no significant impact as yet by covid all is as expected and why XAR is also a net net stock, new team who are starting to get the business back on track from the olsd one and good financials picked up by John Mills since he started a few months ago.....will stratasys go for full blow takeover ? they have 45% now I would suggest with 3d printing an ultra high growth area it's almost a cert and with 65p being the highest price in last 6 months so far and lockdown beginning to lifted in various countries we have an intersting and potentially profiable opportunity going forward..John Mills has good form :-)

and I got the impression on that previous post you were in cash Bryn, no problem with that and clearly you share an interest in XAR as cheap as possible, we all do, you may or may not get that opportunity, markets are volatile at present but incerdibly hard to judge, as they say it is often time in the markets that achieves over time rather than trying to time the market... here's a bit from Schroders, who have so far invested enough to secure 20% of XAR recently, they also see the potential as we do, they were buying a lot higher than current price too.....

Hi Bryn, thanks for reply, Stratasys still have the option of another $33m stake of XAR having already invested £10m so far, and as detailed in an article in erlier posts 3d printing is anultra high growth sector and expected to grow at speed going forward and as you say financials are and will be important as we progress out of lockdown and XAR's trading update of only 4 weeks ago confirmed they are in an excellent position prior to the lockdown and will be ideally placed coming out, it is no small matter for Investors Chronicle to highlight XAR as a bargain share for 2020 as they too see the potential ahead.....very decent revenue, no debt, cash macching mcap alone and nothing priced in for future earnings, it is clear the figures speak for themselves :-)

Hi Chas, not on my phone today so can't help re ads ....nice recovery from the silly drop...and clearly someone consistently loading from the off with those block buys of 10,000 -20,000 :-)

just added a few more to holding ;-)

nice volatility today lol... If google rankings are up in June -July we'll be much further north here clearly, however, today needs to settle and with directors with there £400k extra shares at 29p Premier taking 15% ...there's clearly more of a story here to run imo...not every day can be a winner but the dust will settle and personally I'm holding and I can see someone already sneaking in 10,000 block buys on the drop :-)

Hi Bryn
I'm all for open debate but i think your recent disengenous post re 'dead cat bounce' post was a contradiction to your post on 19.2.20 below....

''Mkt cap is effectively the same as cash in bank.... I expect someone will make an offer soon at this price, I was hoping for 200p . It would be a shame to be hoovered up for 50p...''

I know markets move and change but with the guidance of the trading update stating 'The Group expects to report revenues 49.4 million for the year ended 31.12.19. Group cash balances were £25.3 million ' nothing has changed since your hoping for £2 post and the cash still covers mcap alone. :-)

RNS as per previous guidance and trading update, with this little note in there ''Management remains optimistic that a number of premium sites will be re-ranked and fully operational during H2 2020'' ...we're one month into H2 maybe why Premier increased their holding to 15% in last few weeks (their average in low 32p -33p it appears )

Hi Dirky, all part of the journey of a share price and importantly today's drop was not XAR specific it was a general market drop across most stocks and if anyone believes in the financials and potential it provides opportunity at cheaper prices, investing in markets usually requires reverse psychology and although we all feel better buying on a rising sp it is often those who secure when it's quiet and dropped who ensure better gains, easier said than done as we know...gl

always pay to be cautious, particularly on a general market drop day :-)

results due anytime soon, trading update 23.03.20 may provide a clue .....
XAR making good progress & re-iterates the preliminary guidance for 2019. The Group expects to report revenues £49.4 million for the year ended 31.12.19. Group cash balances were £25.3 million

key factor is mcap= £25m

yup, soleman, the dropped ratings back in January led to the sp dropping away to 20p ish (combine covid etc).As detailed in earlier posts by others re last know capital levels against mcap (pretty good financials) and continued revenue, cancellation of tresuary shares last week and the recent gobbling up of shares from 8 to 15% in a couple of weeks by Premier Investments also add in the £400k purchase of shares by the two directors at 29p in February all provide a reasonably positive view of their confidence in returning the sp to higher levels, as clearly we have been a great deal further north of here not so long ago......the risk is they have not upped the google rankings and do not expect too as shares have a forward view it would be hard to imagine that they have not improved the situation, they have extra skin in game, £400k, Premier have bought 15% just recently so if they are clues we'll be ok..it is often said follow the money and we're not dealing with an aim company that has no finances large debt etc.....always important to know the risks keep eyes open and try to read between the lines, so far all clues point to improved position ...game on

maybe I've been locked down too long lol

when I said we're all adults I assume that is correct and did not mean to be disrespectful to anyone :-)

it's been a frustrating and costly wait with investment mony over the past year treading water in CPX as 99% will know sofrustrations will happen but as ever in the markets it's the slowburners that one day light up the market with massive moves, you need a low base to achieve that abd under 3p we're pretty much there and I'm sure even the largest critic would see under 3p as no fair reflection of this share looking forward ...patience is a skill required in investing as we know, few have it, however, it clearly is one CPX holders will be able to say they have in abundance and should finally see those rewards at some point soon :-)

here's the one I should have posted lol

lol...I think we know 2019-2020 is expected to be transformational year, virus aside, however, no one has to stay the course, unless you a have a belief in the future prospects here of course, there are many other opportunities in the market today ,clearly and I see many people getting positive and acting on those opportunities, some are even building stakes here while it's quiet...we're all adults who can make choices for ourselves ..mine is an increased investment in CPX ;-)

should have read, yup Schroders increased their holding ..etc

you, the increased their holding by the same stretegy at low's, we pi's noticed and price rose so mm's will be working hard to increase their holding where they can ahead of results being released I'm sure, why build a 20% stake in something if you don't see a return from here , they clearly do as do Investors chronicle who also note XAR as a bargain share at 35p for 2020 and it was trading in the 50p -60p+ just a few weeks ago before the market crash, so yes expect a few 'games' from mm'sbut with justa £25m mcap against income cash etc as stated before the figures speak for themselves for anyone who can hold for a few weeks :-)

yup results held over as requested by fcs, last update 23.03.20
