("KBC" or "the Company")



Directors Dealing



The Company announces that on 30 October 2013 it received notification of the following dealings by a director of the Company and his related parties in the ordinary shares of 2.5p each in the Company (the "Ordinary Shares").



Kestrel Partners LLP ("Kestrel") acquired 75,000 Ordinary Shares at a price of 89.55 pence per Ordinary Share on 29 October 2013 on behalf of Kestrel Opportunities, a cell of Guernsey Portfolios PCC Limited ("Kestrel Opportunities").



Following the transaction referred to above, Kestrel Opportunities holds 7,378,863 Ordinary Shares, representing 12.48% of the issued share capital of the Company.



Oliver Scott, Non-Executive Director of KBC, is a founding partner of and holds a beneficial interest in Kestrel, the investment manager of Kestrel Opportunities, and is a shareholder in Kestrel Opportunities. Mr Scott therefore has a legal interest in a total of 7,378,863 Ordinary Shares, representing 12.48% of the issued share capital of the Company.

Simon T of IC today - I also noted that Kestrel Partners, the investment manager of Kestrel Opportunities, has just acquired another 75,000 shares at 89.55p to raise its stake to 7.38m shares in KBC Advanced Technologies


(KBC: 92p), a consultancy and software provider to the global hydrocarbon processing industry. Kestrel now owns 12.48 per cent of the company's issued share capital. Oliver Scott, non-executive director of KBC, is a founding partner of Kestrel and holds a beneficial interest in Kestrel Opportunities. It is fair to assume that Kestrel was given the green light by KBC insider, Mr Scott, before the above transaction took place.

Clearly, Kestrel was impressed by October's bullish trading update from KBC

Simon T of IC, I have upgraded my earnings multiple driven target price from 100p to 116p within a 3 month time frame.

I am encouraged by the way this stock continues to increase its SP without any fuss or RNS - Simon T looks to be spot on - 116p by 1 Feb looks to be likely.
Petob grateful you change name of BB which will I am sure get more on board

nice rise today

Simon T today of IC - Upgraded target price

So with investor sentiment positive, and KBC set to issue what will only be an upbeat pre-close trading statement next month, I feel the current rerating has further to run even though the shares are riding an 11-year high. In fact, I believe that a rating of 15 times 2014 earnings estimates net of that cash pile is not an unrealistic valuation. On this basis, I have again upgraded my earnings multiple driven target price from 116p to 129p. Offering a further 17 per cent upside to my target price, the shares rate a buy on a bid offer spread of 109p to 110p. My time frame for this trade is two months.

Thank you for that - most encouraging

Tipped by The Naked Trader I believe, he must have been reading your posts on this thread dreamcatcher!

I will have to send him an invoice. lol

Hammer bottom tonight a good sign.

Dont understand the lingo - but you seem to be right !!!

KBC Advanced Technologies PLC (KBC:LSE) set a new 52-week high during today's trading session when it reached 116.70. Over this period, the share price is up 177.86%.

Bit of a late starter - found this little gem after research in May 2013 so only up 45% but delighted !! A good statement in Jan may see the 129p.

More to come I reckon.

Thanks doodlebug4 -


Beat you by a mile Naked trader in at 64p :-))

Naked trader -

So first off is KBC (KBC) where I bought 5,000 at 100 and a few more live at the seminar too a bit higher.

Profit are on the up, and it has cash too. And it's in a good area of the market with plenty of potential to win new contracts and possibly could be seen as a takeover target too.

I think the shares are worth at least 130 but I reckon they have potential to hit 150 in time.
