Fact check:
#Novacyt Exsig underwent Clinical & NHS validation

👇 Wrong:
"So in essence if you look you will not find a document (that I have ever seen) saying Exsig formally passed its in service trial in relation to the contract whereas you will find one for Promate"

#ALNOV
For supposed researched person, he's lazy. His thesis called out #Novacyt's 3rd party manufacturing for lowering margins

#ALNOV "invests in infrastructure to bring previously outsourced work in-house & to drive further automation, leading to improved margins & process controls"

That's nice. PROmate, as part of the national microbiology framework has it's own contract.

The £4m amount until next Year has been announced by @NovacytGroup a few weeks ago. But without any minimal amount secured as stated.

Novacyt has over 550+ tests.

So why haven't they been doing billions in revenue like their peers, and why are we expecting them to go mid cap like other diagnostics companies, now.

What's changed and why have investors been backing sustainable mid cap revenues?

#NCYT #ALNOV
When Novacyt acquired PrimerDesign in 2016, it was for their portfolio of tests and the talent within that team.

However those tests were research use only (RUO), and PrimerDesign themselves were not structured as a business that could sell into the clinical use market.
You have seen how much PCR tests cost. But you have also seen the accuracy needed and competition in that market. That competition exists for good reason - it's worth billions and has a 17.5% CAGR from 2020 to 2027.

Extremely bullish by SourceBio this morning.

Novacyt is always extremely conservative with market communications, though they're at two different stages. Novacyt is making mid cap money, but talking like an uncertain micro cap in RNS. Hence the chaos.

But..

#NCYT #ALNOV Image
If you look at non-market facing communications from @NovacytGroup at the moment. They're extremely bullish and confident about who they are and what they're doing.

Led the way on swine flu, covid and the horse meat scandal. Strong USPs. Image
Sales director role with heady focus on NHS sales. Many roles are NHS facing. So many people are confused over the procurement dispute. That's just one contract, and just one part within that contract. Not a breakdown in a relationship. Image

Bad spells are a show of character. You learn about people from it, on all sides of the equation.

Same with the brokers' reactions

SP Angel actually did the decent thing and held back from putting out a target until Mullis has had a bit more time to update them 👍

#NCYT #ALNOV Image
Numis taking a moderate view, which although ridiculous around £5.70 for a company like this - they are starved of info on the next product and revenue streams, so can't fault them too strongly until sustained revenues are made official.
ODDO though.

Almost a parody of a dodgy brokerage, complete opportunists. They will have a clue a news flow period is coming up soon. Mullis has made that much clear - new tech and contracts in process for covid, and a longer sustained business plan.

That all the main players have an advertising budget. I notice it because of the website. But Roche, Thermo, Qiagen etc are always there in my face. Constant ad spend, even on low volume blogs..
Smaller players, SourceBio etc.. all advertising.

So that's it. We can all move on now from the DHSC albatross around Novacyt's neck.

People selling off, shorts and MMs sticking the knife in.

But after that settles, we've actually got some good material in this RNS.

#NCYT #ALNOV #NVYTF Image
We have multiple COVID-19 LFTs coming.

Now confirmed by RNS so we will have a complete revenue stream for COVID-19 that only large caps like Roche have managed to output.

We actually will have a wider range than some large caps ie. Thermo & Perkin Elmer.

Very impressive.
We've done £30 to £40mill in Q1 2021 from private testing sales and have yet to launch several new products, including LFTs which are currently en-vogue.

Novacyt's team is expanding and pushing into new territories so 2021 revenues without DHSC are still mid cap level.

Major flex by Novacyt today in response to ridiculous market conditions.

Decentralised testing flex.
Centralised testing flex.
LFT flex.
Validations flex.

Non-covid roadmap in Q2 will get the hype train moving shortly too.

As always with a Novacyt infodump it takes weeks for the gravity of it to settle. All this tech will be realised in 2021+ in terms of revenues and growth. But it's all in there.

Initial thoughts?
LFT modification to 'extend the revenue horizon for COVID-19'.

Many antibody LFTs on market simply haven't been selling. Uptake isn't there, especially in the UK. The requirements for these have changed, and the major rollout won't be until we have greater vax numbers.

sent another reminder to Eurobio-Scientific (#ALERS) about my questions about the PCR test.

I received an answer this time:

"It is company policy not to communicate with specific investors in order to maintain equal access to information."

"I cannot answer your quite detailed questions."

Uhm, I'm only asking about the products, not about sensitive financial information.

Why not disclose this information?

First, the FY2020 results are better than in the last forecast.

Actual vs previous forecast
Revenue 311m vs 287m
Cash 101m vs 79m

The cash accumulated will allow them to develop themselves into a "high margin clinical diagnostics" sector.

Revenues and forecast.

Things are really important here.
We Can see the revenues decrease until 2023 on this forecast.

But look at the cash accumulation. This will not sit in the bank and wait !

So, when they use this cash for aquisitions for ex.,

Novacyt.

Coming clean.

There's a deceit that goes around the social media game when it comes to pushing stocks and many of us are admittedly a part of that.

#NCYT #ALNOV #NVYTF
The 1st deceit is the lack of emphasis on how extremely volatile the market is for any particular stock on AIM - it only really gets discussed after the fact, like today for example.

30% and 40% swings in a week is extreme.
You're better off trading that.

We all know it.
