I was unimpressed with the presentation and Q&A. They lost me right away when it was clear this was audio only so wouldn't be able to see the whites of their eyes. Kind of important when determining if one can believe them this time. Then, the very first slide they put up was a bunch of 5 or 6 KPI's (revenue, ebitda, etc) but after only 2 of them did they show last year's KPI's in brackets for comparison. Come on, do they think we're that stupid? Listening to the rest of it didn't improve my mood much - after years of mismanagement, was I convinced it'll be different now? Not really. The best I can say is at least there's a new CEO/management team, which is a necessary part of any reset. Sorry, I'm sure there's room for differing views on this chatboard.

More than many I'd say!

I also wasn't bowled over by the Results. I'd describe them as middling, but with no big nasties at least. Expectations though were v low, so a bit of a 'relief rally' today.

Let's see what Baines & Co have to say for themselves at the Q&A this afternoon.

Looks like the sp is inexorably headed back to the one year low of 317p on 25/03/25, not the achievement any of us hoped for. I'd feel a bit better if I was earning an income off this share, but they don't give a t*ss about shareholders in their allocation of capital. A nice little earner for management though.

It's a fair point, MMs may have bumped up the ask to accommodate the large trades on Friday.

Still, I hate Totally.

Shockingly leaky this company - the rise on Friday clearly the result of insider trading - another thing I hate about Totally.

...or buy synthomer.

Recent placing at 975p starting to look like a good bit of business.... lol. This market is merciless!

Indeed! At the very least, electronic transfers of cash may be required...

Taken a punt at 61.98p. A Friday gamble.

Likely legal dispute between company and CEO, arising from uncertainty over her previous statements. Was close to buying this morning on yesterday's weakness, but now the share price is tanking...

Apologise for this left-field question, but does anyone happen to use Hargreaves Lansdown for their charts? You don't have to be a customer. Is the "Charts" tab working for you? Mine is down whether using Chrome or Safari as a browser. Thanks.

Agree about AIM, but I also think the 'ST factor' doesn't have the allure it once did. Don't get me wrong, he's clearly a smart analyst, but he's also (inevitably) suffered quite a number of duds in the past 2-3 difficult years, which will have lost investors, including myself, money. Fair to say the IC itself also doesn't have the cachet it once did.

Hasn't been this low since May 2018. Almost all 'AIM 100' stocks, (supposedly the largest companies on AIM), are suffering, mostly for reasons of sentiment, not performance. Divi yield now approaching 6%, I can see no reason to sell. If this continues for much longer, I'm sure many companies on the AIM 100 list will gravitate to the main market

"A resilient performance for 2024 against a backdrop of very challenging market conditions", says our esteemed CEO, Rod Flavell. This time he may be right. That's not to say that I see this share going on a charge, but we may be through the worst.

And I'm very pleased to join the party on today's price weakness. Hoping this is just another wave of negative AIM market emotion, which will eventually wash through.

Always a slight worry when a company has < 5 years history, but the metrics all look good.

Fair points all posters. What matters of course is the quantum of share based remuneration payments, whether from treasury or issuance.... but I don't know what that is ;) I do know that I've held this stock for 2 years and I'm down 30% with no divis earned. Swallowed that water detection sector and bring the franchisees in-house story. Someone explained the historical reasons for it, but the listing country situation needs to be addressed. Also, < £100m market cap, no institution is interested. Trade buyer? Put us out of our misery?

Ah thanks SB, I'll take a look, been too fixated on EKF.

A week to go and the sp keeps dropping... doesn't augur well for results day, does it? Alternatively, the sp might be so beaten-up by then that there'll be a relief rally. Hoping for the latter, but it's all hope and fumes with this share now....

...at a large multiple to the NAV. Looks like this was an investment by the Schroder Juniors, credit where it's due.

Well, well, well, first bit of good news in........... years?

No worries, daltry, not offended at all, you were making sense.
