SDI - SDI Limited

Jump to new
I hold a little of this one and think it is a good business, as they accelerate revenues out of amalgam and into aesthetics which is now 45% of revenue.

However, they have just announced their business has been impacted with closure of many dental studios. This means NPAT likely $3.5-4.5m vs $7.3m last year. But at $83m market cap and little debt, I think its likely to weather the crisis ok.

In the short-term, may well retest 50c lows though, which would make it very compelling buy because likely a snap back in dental restocking once studios do reopen.

Also, the low AUD is now a strong tailwind for the Aussie-based manufacturer.
 
Nice update at the AGM, SDI doing well considering the impact of Covid. Rewarded with a nice little pop in the SP on an otherwise pretty red day.
 
Solid announcement from $SDI, guiding for up to 100% increase in NPAT for FY21 from FY20
 
SDI exceeded guidance, hitting 110% increase in NPAT, report looks strong on first pass, I like that they also compared metrics to last normalised year (2019), businesses with significant financial impact in 2020 should do this more often.

another 'bottom drawer ' stock for me

i bought in @ 45c in January 2018 , so while not doing double back-flips , it does raise a smile

now if all these silly disruptions cease ( probably the 12th of NEVER ) ...
 
I have been in them since 2016, my average cost is a bit higher than yours, but also happy to hold with a smile!
 
H1 2022, SDI showing the same results as many businesses we hold, increased revenue, big decrease in earnings, negative cash flows, all blamed on a combination of covid, supply restraints and labour inflation. I think its going to be a year or more before we see if there were actually structural issues with some of these businesses, or if they bounce back and recover.

 
Identical paste of revenue and earnings to EGN !??!

MELBOURNE, Australia - SDI Limited (ASX: SDI), a leading dental technology company that
conducts research and development, manufacturing, and distribution of specialty dental

one of my few healthcare plays

a tough sector to find value AND returns
 

$0.35 increase over 4 years. I also hold at a profit, I like the company but still a plodder.

evens out the volatile stocks ( and their patchy divs )

You should have a look at DDR. Great dividends, and the company is growing strong.

always seem to look at it the wrong time ( when the numbers don't crunch attractively ) the last time i went stalking with intent i ended up buying RFF instead ( i was chasing 3 monthly div. payers at the time )

however there should be further in this downturn maybe this time

cheers
 
SDI FY 2022 results out and my commentary for the first half is basically my thoughts on the full year!



Interesting that although they increased the divvy this year its still only just over 50% payout ratio.

 
New purchase -

 
A better year from SDI and signs that they have managed to weather the storms of the last couple of years. A fairly soft FY2023 result, debt continues to be a concern, used for the purchase of land for new site. Will need to continue watching closely. Level of conviction now low. One thing of note is the comment that as Amalgam has become increasingly a smaller part of the overall market, SDI's share has become larger as competitors simply withdraw from producing it. That's an interesting thing to consider with dying markets, can be an advantage if you have a way to leverage. I suspect because other players are much bigger businesses they have just dumped Amalgam products once they dropped to an irrelevant size in the overall business.
