SDV - SciDev Limited

[Faramir]

I am going to choose SDV for June 2020 Tipping Comp.

Tues 5 May 2020, this announcement gave a slight and brief upshot.
Services Agreement in the Infrastructure Sector

This is work in Melbourne's Metro Tunnel Project.

I wonder what it will take for SDV to test its highs again?

 

[BroncosXR8]

Picked this up today at 0.60c after being recommended it a few weeks ago.

June report should tell whether it was a good recommendation or not.

 

[Faramir]

For July Tipping competition, I am choosing SDV again despite its drop during June. (Real reason, I can't think of anything else.)

Here is an announcement from last Friday about some delays Canadian Oil Sands trial.
44jzh7r2469sth.pdf
Can't blame them for their decision to delay sending staff over there.

Oh well, things will be better. I do not hold. If only I had specie funds?

 

[Faramir]

I wished I picked SDV for August Tipping Competition. If only I gave it one more month but I didn't

It is up 17.6% now right due to this announcement. Even though it is a trial, BHP Olympic Dam looks like becoming a major client one day.

SDV in closing yesterday @ .67c was able to bounce off its 200 day moving average, an important long-term support line.

SDV New Canadian trial imminent:
Scheduled to occur late Sep/Oct '20, SciDev SDV commented that the trial could generate as much as $1M+ of revenue and is anticipated to last for approximately 2 weeks.

During the trial, the focus will be on using SciDev’s chemistries in Syncrude’s CND$1.9 billion full-scale Tailings Centrifuge Plant.

SciDev further pointed out that its staff will be on-site in the Canadian plant to support the trial and ensure it is successfully performed.

The company added that fluid tailings management is an area which has been placed under increased regulation in the Canadian Oil Sands industry.

Commenting on the transaction, SciDev Managing Director and CEO, Lewis Utting said:

“The order from Syncrude represents SciDev’s first entry into the oil sands sector, a significant potential area of growth for SciDev. We are pleased that our offering is continuing to be recognised in the oil and gas sector, which we believe is an exciting area of growth for the Company.”

Back in late February '20, SciDev released its 1H20 financial results whereby the company reported revenue of $6.12 million for the half, representing a massive +382% increase on the prior corresponding period of 1H19.

Then recently in August '20, SciDev raised $7M in cash @ 0.65c to advance near term growth projects. Huge potential growth projected into 2020/21 and beyond imo as ticking all the boxes.

Gees with overseas markets deep in the red unfortunately impacting our SDV price action/chart as it appears bearish in the short-term imo we just nudged 0.645c this morning (below cap. raising price).

market depth sadly reflects this:

23 buyers for 106,253 units vs 61 sellers for 529,406 units

SDV is one of my picks for Y2021 Comp.

Scientists cleaning up after everyone who drills, digs, spurts, slurps or tunnels could sum this little monster up.

Thanks @Faramir and @Dona Ferentes for bringing SDV to my attention during the year.

I like them .... HQ is 8 Turbo Rd, Kings Park, just past Blacktown (can't even find signage according to Google Maps)

 

[Faramir]

@Garpal Gumnut Can I pick SDV as one of my four stocks for Tipping Comp 2021? I didn't think I actually made much of a contribution. I just like companies that can clean water. Trouble is, Governments, companies (and mainly people) expect water to be free and are not willing to pay the real cost of getting it cleaned.

(I think by the time I will seriously think about putting a specie about of funds into the stock, FOMO will hit me and I will miss the boat. Whenever I feel FOMO, I freeze and do something else instead of buying stocks.)

In this COVID environment, how do they drum up more business in USA?

It's a record sales!

Here is a chart:

If they kick a few more goals next year, I am expecting the volume to increase.

I believe SDV would be a good pick for you for the 2021 Comp.

I'm certainly more conscious of the need for investors to look at the ecological consequences of companies in which they invest and SDV for me ticks many boxes. It just makes sense. I have it in my SMSF and sold WPL to get a decent stake.

Plus they walk the talk and make a quid out of it.

SDV is my top pick for the 2021 competition. I'm liking this purely based on technicals. Nice ascending triangle on the weekly timeframe, 8 EMA is holding above the 21 EMA and I'm also liking those wicks coming into the ascending trend line producing higher lows. All going well, this should provide for a nice 2021 for SDV.

quarterly out: firing on several cylinders

Q2 FY2021 Highlights

[Dona Ferentes]

Three year chart, daily, for SDV:

First year and a half, Jan 2018 to June 2019, boring. Only punctuated by a Split (S) in Dec 2018. Getting house in order.

Then a few nibbles early in 2019 until the volume spike late June. (no discernable event, stale holders moving out? Tartana?) Marks the beginning of the rise, to become close to 10 bagger in 9 months.
After which Covid laid all good plans to waste.
But a quick recovery and growth trajectory.

What I want to do is figure out if Jun/ Jul 2019 is predictable, for an outsider.
30 April - New MD
May - USA initiatives, new Board member
Jun- Jul. Tartana (19.9% SDV) failure to IPO
22 Jul - US oil & gas first sales
Aug - Sep - sales growing
Aug / Sep - Iluka LT contract and first sales
Sep - Cap Raise at 26c ($4.6mill)
Oct - acquire ProSol
2020
Jan - acquire Highland Fluid Technology
Jul - Placement & SPP @ 65c ($7mill)

SciDev is focused on fine particle separation chemistry (colloid chemistry).
SciDev Solutions
... solids-liquid separation in the Mining & Mineral Processing sector.
... recycle, reuse and minimise oilfield water waste Oil & Gas.
... reduce costs and operational downtime in the Construction & infrastructure sectors.
... Wastewater - treatment and products for the industrial, F&B, and municipal water sectors.

Anything discerned?
The biggest sector doesn't necessarily get the sales. O&G is where growth is happening
Lots of little jobs = demands on sales team, contacts
Need to hold inventory
Getting to scale, or still a small outfit in a set of dispersed industries, each with their own needs?
Institutions on board - holding for longer?

Nov 2020 shareholder composition
Nuoer Group 6%
Board and Management 8% <------- low
Institutional 21%
Retail 65% <------ high
