Immunodiagnostic Systems Holdings (LON:IDH) - Fog on the Tyne
Jun 28th 2012 - Edison Investment Research today published a report on Immunodiagnostic Systems Holdings (IDH.L, LSE:IDH, LON:IDH) entitled "Fog On The Tyne". In summary, the report says:
FY12 figures show sales up 7%, but this is irrelevant as the restatement of 2011 sales makes comparisons fog-shrouded. Write-offs amount to £7.7m. The putative new CEO may either have to merge to get market traction or fatten Immunodiagnostic Systems (IDS) for a trade sale. Technically the products seem to be good, although finding independent verification is tough. The automated hypertension and 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D assays are firsts, but IDS needs time and cash to develop the markets before DiaSorin.
