Looking Forwards1 Jul 2022 14:18
Okay so no one ever likes fundraising via share issues, so I completely understand everyone frustrations. This company really has underperformed considering the all time high (intra-day) of 19p. There was so much promise when those orders started coming through back in 2020. Then it's just been pretty much silence for a whole year, give of take the odd factory theft update :/
But looking forwards from here, IMO it does look like they are ready to turn a corner.
Here are the positives that I can see:
• New joint venture between distribution partner Bradclad Group and Proton AB (the second largest, single ply roofing membrane supplier in Europe).
• Proof new product is wanted & needed: "Verditek has secured the first commercial order for a Single Ply Membrane Roof project in the UK." They've had their first sale of the new panels, and if they can get the word out more sales will follow.
• Increased exposure to larger markets coming in the next few weeks!"at the request of Protan AB, samples will be delivered over the course of this month to 35 of their European sales representatives as they roll this product out across the continent." I don't know what kind of sales team they Verditek themselves, but they obviously weren't doing a great job. Now they'll have Protons team on the case, who are used to generating millions of sales, and who are already established and trusted in their field, with a network of buyers already in place.
• £1.5m raised this week to keep the ball rolling and fund new ventures.
• Director investment: Gavin Mayhew purchased 20m of the new shares for £300,000. He will have an idea of what is around the corner, and wouldn't invest that kind of cash if it wasn't looking rosie.
Potential up and coming RNS updates:
• New order updates resulting from the new JV with Bradclad Group and Proton AB.
• New orders from elsewhere now we've had proof of purchase of new product.
• New Generation 1.2 panels Certification. When this comes through we could see a positive move in the share price as Verditek will have a new high class product to sell and "will open up potential markets for solar roof-top applications in the UK, Italy and Australia."
• News from the collaboration" with Metrotile, who are developing Verditek solar panel solutions for their roof tile products. Both these opportunities enhance the potential for commercial growth in the lucrative roofing sector."
• Potential news from about licensing out their tech "to a larger scale, automated plant and we have received expressions of interest from others to build similar plants elsewhere in the world."
• News about potential success of new products being developed with Paragraf so they can expand their product offering.
Update and news has been very quiet over the last 18 months, but I personally expect to see a lot more little red dots at 7am coming up, and things to get a lot more exciting in the coming weeks and months. As ever I'd be interested to h
