(ShareCast News) - Oxford Instruments shares should be sold, said the Sunday Times' Inside the City column. The high-tech device maker spun out of Oxford University in 1959 needs to operate right on the bleeding edge of technology, and often depends on acquisitions to stay relevant - but not even that strategy is guaranteed to deliver reliable profits. The company has suffered two profit warnings in the last year, blamed on the sanctions on Russia and China's economic slowdown.
Although OxInst is trading at an attractive discount to rivals on a price-to-earnings basis, the balance sheet is a worry. With the squeeze being felt from weak Japanese demand, slowing industrial sales and lower prices for superconductor parts, management cut 7% of staff last year and recently negotiated better credit terms from lenders. Broker Jefferies has warned that the company's leverage ratios could get close to the higher level its banks have allowed, which any worsening of the Chinese economy, for example, will land OxInst in big trouble.

(ShareCast News) - Shares in Oxford Instruments fell sharply after Goldman Sachs downgraded the stock to 'neutral' from 'buy', noting it's trading close to the bank's unchanged 700p price target.
The brokerage said that since being added to the 'buy' list on 26 September 2012, the stock is down 49.4%, compared to the FTSE World Europe up 19.9%.

For full-year 2016, Goldman said it expects adjusted earnings before interest and tax of £43m, compared to Reuters consensus of £45m.

"Weak demand in both the nanotech tools and industrial products business have impacted the shares, and more recently signs of price pressure related to overcapacity in superconducting wire," it said.

Goldman said the group has developed a strong portfolio in the area of nanotech tools. This is a niche market and while it is vulnerable to high short-term volatility, it could offer attractive long-term growth potential and/or strategic attractions for larger instrumentation suppliers, it added.

At 1013 BST, shares in Oxford Instruments were down 8.4% at 607.48p.
