I won't be surprised that BIG has not made the $$$ expected by the market.

I also sold my holdings at 1.33. But if it goes down later...I'll really like to pick up again. It is stable with good potential.

Sold most of my holdings. With the rise from 1.10 to 1.34 today. It is time for a correction - will come back again when it corrected to between  1.25-1.27

Arguably a rising wedge is forming if we take the  peak on   March 9 as part of the upper resistance line. Rising wedges are one of a sure sign of reversals. Good luck folks.

Good observation ``Investor`.   I still cannot fathom out the reason for their(FDL) recent sales and the quick  repurchase??. May be they know something good coming that we don`t know. You described the recent uptrend as slight but I see as  quite ``explosive`` which is probably intiated by the  Nobori stent approval in Japan and the recent  recruitment of the new talented CFO.  Most of the members of the senior management of BIG are now Asian and such move indicate that BIG are switching their focus into China now. Great transformation  is coming , I believe.

A lot of people may not have noticed this. When Fidelity sold their shares on 30th Mar, the number of shares that they hold after the sale was 54.921 million.

In today's announcement, before the new purchase on 8th Apr, the number of shares that they own is 65.729 million. That is between 31st Mar to 7th Apr, they actually increase the number of shares by 10.808 million, without the need to report, as the total number of shares in Biosensors has increased, due to the new shares issued to the 2 new shareholders, and hence they have not breach the 5 % limit.

That could be the reason, why the shares have been on a slight uptrend recently.

Not a call to buy/sell.

1.30 will be hard to cross. May have to pull back before going higher.

Interesting...... they(FID) had just recently reduced their stake in BIG last month to just below 5% ( check company announcement in SGX March 2011) and now they may have realised it is a  mistake to sell and decided to buy back again.

BIG potentially can go up to $1.50 soon as the new CFO  has very good tract record in M& A and this augur well for BIG next strategic development.Sit tight for M& A and good news.

    Nobori stent approved in Japan

    Nobori stent approved for sale in Japan…

    International Group (BIG) announced that Terumo Corporation

    (Terumo) has received approval for the sale of its Nobori drugeluting

    stent (DES) in Japan, based on a document released

    by Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. The Nobori

    DES uses the stent technology and proprietary Biolimus A9

    drug licensed from BIG (similar to BIG's BioMatrix DES) in

    exchange for royalty payments. Currently, BIG already enjoys

    a stream of licensing and royalties revenue from Terumo for

    its Nobori DES which is sold outside of Japan and U.S. We

    note that Terumo had entered into a revised licensing agreement

    with BIG in Apr 2008, whereby it agreed to pay BIG US$40m

    in exchange for a reduction of the revenue sharing provisions

    applicable to sales of the Nobori DES outside of Japan. This

    suggests Terumo's optimism about the growth prospects of

    the DES market as well as its ability to increase its penetration

    rates, in our opinion.Biosensors

    …means higher licensing revenue for BIG

    has not announced or rolled out its plans for the launch of its

    Nobori DES in Japan, we estimate that this should happen

    sometime in the early part of FY12. Hence BIG would be able

    to reap higher licensing revenues from Terumo when this

    happens. The DES market for Japan is estimated to be worth

    ~US$600m and is currently dominated by the four U.S.

    medical technology giants. We believe this is now likely to

    change after Nobori's approval in Japan. Strong penetration in

    the Japanese market would be underpinned by (i) the proven

    safety and efficacy of BIG's DES technology and (ii) Terumo's

    ability to leverage on Japanese physicians’ loyalty given that

    it is the first local firm to rollout a DES.. While Terumo

    Appointment of new CFO

    hired Mr. Ronald Ede as its new CFO. Mr. Ede was formerly

    the CFO of Mindray Medical International, the largest medical

    equipment company in China which trades on NYSE. BIG

    believes that Mr. Ede's expertise in the M& A area would be

    invaluable in the group's future development as inorganic

    growth is expected to play a key role in its expansion plans.. BIG also announced that it has

    catalyst for growth following the approval of Nobori's sale in

    Japan. We update our assumptions for BIG's licensing

    revenues and bump up our FY12F revenue and core earnings

    forecasts by 7.3% and 10.6% respectively. This in turn raises

    our DCF-based fair value estimate from S$1.32 to S$1.48.
