Boots: Should Skinbiotherapeutics make a clarifying statement re No 7?

With Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX) it seems that what its CEO has for supper is covered by some sort of NDA so who knows what it can or will say. Perhaps he could just comment on whether it is involved in a major launch with Boots, via the obsessive Lemming if not via RNS. A number of folks have sent me messages regarding a 9th April major relaunch of the Boots No 7 skincare product “The UK’s No 1 Skincare brand.”

Futura Medical: producing a rubbish product won’t give your share price a stiffy

It was in August 2023 with shares in Futura Medical (FUM) at 52p t buy that Lucian Miers volunteered to do some on the ground research into Eroxon, its “treatment” for Erectile Dysfunction. It is not as if Lucian, like many grandfathers of his age, needs to use Eroxon, he checked out how it was selling in Boots and the catastrophic online reviews and concluded that if customers do not think a product works they will not reorder and the business is screwed. Today the shares are 18.5p after a massive lack of profits warning.

#Gowokegobroke: Boots wins the Christmas advert clanger

Without Sharon White at the helm, John Lewis has a charming unwoke Christmas advert on out screens, for the first time in half a decade not alienating core customers. On the other hand...

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: rejoicing with Steve O'Hara as Optibiotix sticks its Boots into the bears

Steve will be at Sharestock tomorrow and I think there is a lot more to come from Optibiotix (OPTI) which I kick off with in today’s bearcast. Then the scandal at Regtech Open (RTOP) for which P45s should be flying at the FCA, Vast Resources (VAST) and – a reader request- Falanx (FCS).

BREAKING: MyHealthChecked Covid tests now on sale with Lloyds Pharmacy which has 1400 stores why no RNS?

This is massive. Lloyds has 1400 stores across the UK. And as you can sde HERE it is now selling the MyHealthChecked (MHC) covid test. Boots is selling the test from more than 500 stores and that deal plus sales from MyHealthChecked’s own portal managed to drive sales of c£3 million in May and June alone. So gaining this additional distribution (plus that from partnering with EasyJet) is surely highly material. Why no RNS?

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Another gotcha for the Sheriff - this time it's Bidstack, bailout placing at 2p

In today’s bearcast with myself and Joshua recorded in Metsovo, I comment on MyHealthChecked (MHC), Boots & EasyJet, the blooming Poulden Lenigas bromance, on Zoetic (ZOE) and on Bidstack (BIDS). More ouzo tonight methinks.

MyHealthChecked – Boots deal announced. The numbers being talked about are off the wall

There are no numbers in a latest RNS from MyHealthChecked (MHC) but those close to the company talk of numbers for this year which are off the wall. As such you would currently be insane to sell – when the market twigs these shares will surge well past 10p…

MyHealthChecked Video – you wanted a few numbers and what is this about Boots & Tesco?

Reader SB asks if there are any forecasts for MyHealthChecked (MHC). There are not. Not even from the UK’s leading healthcare analyst Mr Brokerman Dan Levi. However the company does give indications of what sort of sales it might achieve in a corporate presentation video below. There is more and I am not sure what this means and think MyHealthChecked should clarify

Concepta – £2.3 million placing at 3p: what a bunch of (another word beginning with C)

Nine days ago Concepta (CPT) was pushing aggressively at UK Investor - having just re-announced a deal with Boots - and mug punters responded, paying up to 3.75p to buy shares in the market. Last week I was made an insider. Apparently two big funds were desperate for shares and a placing to raise £2 million was underway.

Tom Winnifrith Bonus Bearcast: Concepta EVERYTHING that is wrong with AIM Casino Placings on display

We own shed loans of shares in Concepta (CPT) and they are, in my view, still cheap. But today's placing fills me with utter disgust and makes me so angry as I explain in full. The image below is from the Boots website.

Optibiotix: Slimbiome deal with Boots on the cards?

Critics of Obtibiotix (OPTI) reckon that it is all jam tomorrow and it needs to announce big name deals which see real rollout of its products and commercialisation. Well how would a deal with Boots for its Slimbiome weight-loss drinks and snack bars do for starters?
