you guys are a bit late coming to this party don't you think...the sharemarket been raging onwards and upwards for 4.5 years now...NZX50 index + nearly 100%.
ATM up over 10x ....plenty left for u guys u reckon?
EDIT: oh yeah I forgot...yep contributing towards a healthier world.......and a warmer world....so we are going to be healthier, wealthier (ATM rising), and warmer:)
ATM appears to have a good plan ahead, my question was meaning more along the lines of, surely if they're going to be $5.xx longer term then what does it matter if SirPrize bought at 0.74 vs 0.77 or even missing say 0.40 etc if his/her plan is to hold... Therefore do you believe they're not going to make it to $5.xx and why? I appreciate P.E is high but you get my point.
As Moosie said, it's all learning. I don't currently hold ATM or a lot of the stocks I'm following. I'm just trying to learn as much as possible before I start throwing the large sums around :) hence my question
Cheers,
NBT
I agree with Hoop - I'm a couple of years late. Nevertheless I still think it might prove beneficial.
The warmer world link was very interesting. Thanks for that. This might be good for A2 Milk in the future as perhaps we'll have have to pick which cows are more important than others.

Not great seeing the Managing Director sell off 40% and another Director sell nearly 30%....I'm not a fan of that at all, especially considering it is just under that resistance line we've talked about. I know people sell for a variety of reasons, but two of them selling up at the same time is not the best look it has to be said. I like to see directors buying, not selling.
Latest release below, Babidge and Mair selling down their respective holdings. Babidge still has 6 m but currently is restricted on selling 5.5m of those, not sure how long? The part of interest to me is at the end, "In the interest of alignment with shareholders...waffle.. waffle... conditionally approved the issue of another 5 million partly paid shares to Geoffrey Babidge"
Does this mean 5million issued at no cost? $3.5m bucks worth? Or am I reading this wrong? If so seems more than a bit rich to me.
REL: 1135 HRS A2 Corporation LimitedGENERAL: ATM: Approval of sale of A2C shares A2 Corporation Limited ("A2C" or the "Company") wishes to advise that it has approved the sale of A2C shares by trusts associated with Managing Director, Geoffrey Babidge and Director, David Mair pursuant to A2C's Share Trading Policy. David Mair has a relevant interest in 2 million fully paid ordinary shares held by the DM2 Investment Trust. Following the sale of those shares by the DM2 Investment Trust, David Mair will still hold 5 million partly paid ordinary shares with an issue price of $0.10 which were issued to him in September 2009 under the A2C group's ownership-based compensation scheme for executives and senior employees, when he was an Executive Director of A2C. David has indicated that he currently has no intention to sell any of his remaining 5 million shares in the foreseeable future. Geoffrey Babidge was issued with 10 million partly paid ordinary shares with an issue price of $0.10 in August 2010 under the A2C group's ownership-based compensation scheme for executives and senior employees. Those shares are currently held by the GHB Investment Trust. When Geoffrey Babidge relinquished his role as Chief Executive Officer of Freedom Foods Group Limited ("FFG") he forewent the benefit of options in respect of FFG shares. The GHB Investment Trust will use the proceeds of the sale of 4 million fully paid shares to reduce debt and to meet other commitments. Following the sale the GHB Investment Trust will still hold 6 million A2C shares, of which 5.5 million currently remain subject to transfer restrictions. The trust has indicated that it currently has no intention to sell any of its remaining A2C shares in the foreseeable future. Cliff Cook said "I am personally delighted that key contributors to A2C are able to benefit from the incentive arrangements that have been put in place to reward success and align the interests of A2C's senior executives with its shareholders." In the interests of maintaining longer term alignment with shareholders, the A2C board has conditionally approved the issue of a further 5 million partly paid shares to Geoffrey Babidge, subject to A2C shareholder approval. That issue will be considered by shareholders at A2C's annual general meeting which is currently scheduled to take place on 19 November 2013. A notice of meeting will be sent to shareholders in due course.

And worse, they then want to issue another 5mill partly paid to one of them, who 'sacrificed' some upside at his previous role.
extracting the urine aren't they?
Welcome to the forum Okay,
I don't begrudge Geoff Babidge selling a few shares actually, he's performed a fantastic job for ATM and shareholders alike. Perhaps he'll build himself a nice mansion, well deserved I say.
Not so sure about just issuing another 5 million more shares though, but we all get a vote at the AGM, if you are passionate about this I'll see you there with you're arm raised.
Yeah I don't like it, why wouldn't every Managing Director just sell their shares if they will be 'gifted' another 5 mil to 'align their interests with the company'....the interests were aligned until they sold the last lot!!!
What a pain, this company looks to be a really good company that is going places and about to make new highs and the directors go off and sell their shares. What don't directors just do their job and send the right messages to the market rather than the wrong messages.
Hi MAC. Thank you for your welcome.
My main issue is the issuing of another 5m shares, $3.5m+. Previous issues were @ 10c quite a big $ compensation difference. If they give him a 10c discount on the 5m that would "align more with shareholders", but even that is 500k worth!
So does this mean there'll be a significant dip?
My view is not significantly SirPrize.
There will be some minor dilution in the issuing of the new shares, but 5M shares represents only 0.7% of shares on issue.
We are all entitled to sell shares, even management, and this is the first significant profit for Geoff Babidge, good on him, he's done very well indeed for ATM.
Thanks for that MAC - I agree, his efforts should be rewarded - and this is just that.
Insider buying is something to get excited about, insider selling could mean any of the things KW said and more. The recent results were positive, and there is a lot of potential upside to look forward to. As others have pointed out the dilution is a minor inconvenience, but if GB keeps performing then I'm sure it'll be worth it
This is not the first time the board has been underhand regarding the issue of shares, in early Dec. 2013 the directors and their associated companies sold down some of their holdings, then under the heading of Capital Raising they issued $4000 million worth of shares to themselves and other institutional investors at a discounted price of $0.05. If I can recall correctly prior to share placement the shares were trading at the $0.67 - $0.70 range. This resulted the share price dropping to around $0.50.
I beleive this was the only way they could have gotten the capital they needed into the company A rights issue may not have worked at 50 cents. I was pretty comfortable with that. Raised the profile of A2 and gained them a top 50 spot etc. And gave the much needed $millions for their expansion into markets they are going into now.
Yes it was a shame for the price to drop from the 67 mark but all on very thin volume and if I remember it was on the alternative market as well.
Another good sign for A2 milk. Below is a list of cafes who are choosing to use a2 milk exclusively. I personally buy A2 milk to make our lattes at home, it makes a better froth and tastes soooo much better. I can see A2 gaining more and more market share in Australia and it will take time but we should see some improvements in the UK next year. Hope they sort out their NZ issues soon as there is no reason it couldn't do well here if properly marketed. Baby formula will be the icing on the cake. Very Happy Holder
From FaceBook Page.
Pssstt…..the good news about A2 is spreading and more cafes are choosing a2 Milk exclusively.
A warm welcome from the A2 family to Café Teena, Café Siyia, Omara Cycles Café, Flock Café, Zoro Espresso Café, Newtown Provedore Café, Taste Food & Wine Café, Tika Café, Café Civic, Stoneground Café, Dundas & Faussett Café, Harold Holt Espresso Lounge, Coffee Rush, and Dolce Espresso Café (Melbourne); and Loaf Shack Café, The Persian Room Café, and Black Mocha Café (Sydney).
It’s pleasing as a long term investor in ATM to see continual ongoing evidence of increasing awareness in the UK market.
http://www.milkintolerance.co.uk/
http://www.thenutritionplace.co.uk/1...inking-it.html
http://www.nutrition2me.com/news/pro...dairy-problems
Of course, it’s also entirely pleasing to see that A2 is now available at Budgens, Booths, Morrisons, Sainsburys, Tesco and Waitrose stores. This covers the entire UK market very well.
ATM have a FY16 market share target for the UK of 1.8%, unless ATM’s expansion into the UK is capital limited or perhaps limited by JV partner Muller Wiseman, this target seems way too conservative to me ?.
I agree it makes for a lot of prospective sales and compares favourably with the present Australian market share of 7.4% of a 23M population.
Muller Wiseman have a 30% share of the A1 fresh milk market in the UK, I just wonder if for them, at present at least, A2 remains a novelty product, perhaps that will change with market demand.
Having said that, with Muller Wiseman having access to 30% of UK fresh milk dairy herds, they make a pretty good JV partner, and an equally good proposition for A2 conversion.
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/n...ectid=11121927 from today's herald. No real new info apart from pricing of Platinum.
I hope they can get their JV in NZ sorted. I've noticed my local Countdown (CBD and the one close to where I live) have stopped selling A2.
Interesting. Our family has been buying A2 milk from our Countdown for a few months and I don't recall it ever not being on the shelves.For some fun, I got seven 8 year old boys to taste and compare both A2 and standard Homebrand blue top milk a couple of weeks ago, without them knowing what they were tasting. 5 out of the 8 preferred the A2, 1 preferred the standard and 2 were neutral. Our 8 yo son who drinks a lot of milk now wants the A2 milk if possible. Only 1 of the 8 boys had heard about A2 milk ! Not very scientific but a bit of interesting fun :)
I can always get a2 milk from johnsoviile countdown
It's also at Moore Wilson's in Wellington CBD. I noticed the other day though all the stock was due to expire in the next day or so, so I didn't buy that time.
This made me wonder how often they got new stock in or whether this was because it had been a slow week and the old stuff was still at the front..
Late last week I wanted to buy some for a friend so rather than go to the stores I went straight to A2 website to see where/who distributed to. But I was only able to find limited information for Australia. Maybe I looked in the wrong place - but surely this information should be able to be found easily on any company's website. Something for A2 marketing team to look into?
Bonnie vie - the issue in nz is that A2 corp only own the rights. These rights are leased to Fresha valley for the next few years so unfortunately it is out of A2s hands for the next wee while unless they renegotiate
Well this is interesting news given that ATM own the intellectual property that they do, and they do already have a UK joint venture partner already.
Although, I don’t recall during my research reading anywhere that it was an exclusive joint venture that they entered into with Muller Wiseman.
http://www.thegrocer.co.uk/fmcg/raw-...349130.article
Am very happy to say that I just purchased some A2 milk from Countdown in Paraparaumu. Well done Countdown. Surprised to see it on the shelves but very happy none the same.
disc, not a holder myself but my father is.
For a 2L bottle it cost me $4.90
Yeah I recently purchased some A2 from Countdown for the purposes of 'investment research' and was pleasantly surprised. It has a very creamy aftertaste....almost like you've just had some unsweetened whipped cream or something. I think they need a trim version asap though.
Hmmm.. is ATM forming a downtrend??
hey baller, I've tried to reply to your message, but it says your inbox is full.
ATM was really hurt by the Managing Director selling down his 40% stake - it changed sentiment from positive to negative, unfortunately. It's all about timing an entry now when sentiment turns positive again.
As an aside, I purchased some A2 milk for research, and then went back to normal milk....but I will be going back to A2 permanently as the taste is just so much nicer. I think they could do with better packaging though - like they have in Australia - the packaging and labeling here looks and is cheap, which is out of place on a premium product.
I enjoy your positivity MAC, but I also agree with blakecb on this one. This is what you can get when directors are granted millions of partly paids.
Big sale at 68cps....could this be the bounce off the primary trendline? I'm not sure, waiting and watching. Depth will tell us a lot, we want to see it move to the buyers' side.
Well for better or worse I am back into ATM, but will have a strict stoploss on this one as I do not want to see it break the primary trendline. I'm hoping for a bounce off the primary trendline and that this is a low entry. To be honest, the technicals and even the depth don't look great, but for whatever reason, I've decided to get back in. I hope the release of the annual report today reminds all the punters of how promising this company is. Now that I am actually choosing to pay more to buy A2 milk on a personal level tells me a lot.
Lots of things going on technically. Most notably it has broken out downwards from a Bollinger Squeeze (sell signal), however there is lots of support in the 68 area (previous highs and trend lines). There is also an ascending triangle pattern (a continuation pattern) which is getting quite far through so is well worth watching. Some good coin to be made trading this puppy :p. Hoop may kindly give us a pretty chart and his much more informed analysis.
I watch and wait.
The market in China just gets better and better;
http://www.interest.co.nz/rural-news...orcing-it-impo
Yes this is interesting. It will be very interesting to see how A2 infant formula will be marketed and received in China. Could be a biggie for ATM & SML.
I just hope the exclusive distributor China State Farm Holding Shanghai Company is the right partner and comes up with the goods, as they have exclusive rights for the "Greater China", which no doubt includes Hong Kong. A huge and very important market for ATM.
I’m picking that Philip Wohlsen was head hunted by the new Chief Marketing Officer, Susan Massasso, both have previous recent Campbell Arnotts and Unilever experience on their CV’s.
https://www.nzx.com/files/attachments/182682.pdf
There a pretty high spec team forming within this company, it just reinforces my view that ATM will be one to continue to watch over the next few years.
I picked up a bottle of A2 at the local Countdown over the weekend. Tastes good but I had to look hard to find the little A2 logo!
And, the growth just keeps going, going and going;
- UK sales set to exceed £1M this week from the now 1,000 UK stores.
- Australian market share now 7.9%, up from 7.4% reported on 29th August 2013.
http://www.thegrocer.co.uk/fmcg/fres...349894.article
Looks like A2 baby formula is now on sale in OZ. The below was posted on Facebook and will probably be a common issue for a lot of parents - toooo expensive. Will hopefully not be a problem in China as they are happy to pay over the top for foreign baby formula anyway.
Nathanand ********
Just wanted to say
I CANNOT believe how EXPENSIVE your formula is!! It's more expensive then algery (lactose free etc) formula. $36 for ONE tin of stage two formula?!?!? I wanted to buy it for my 9 mo & the toddler one for my two year old but there's no way I could afford it!! I figured its cheaper to buy the normal one for my toddler & my 9 mo will just have to stay on karicare. Very disappointed. I honestly don't know how a average Aussie family could be expected to be able to afford to buy it!
Might be repeating a question? But I've had a quick search
what sort of premium are they paying for a2 on top of the normal milk price for their New Zealand sourced product?
I think Whipit was refering to the price A2 pay for the milk they've sourced, what premium they pay for getting farmers to separate the A2 producing cows.
NBT
Cheers,
I was referring to the farm gate price but the retail is also very interesting. It's not that far out of the pack.
I'm just interesting what their agreement is. Are they paying A2 farmers a premium on top of the independent milk price? or whatever?
In that case rising WMP commodity cost might start eating into profits etc if a good portion of it starts to come out of NZ. Mind you this is no different to any other consumer milk.
http://www.betacasein.org/?p=type1-diabetes
That linkage between type 1 diabetes and A1 consumption is quite compelling, looking at the graph, it’s not difficult to see why ATM are targeting Australia, New Zealand and the UK, it would seem entirely logical that the next markets to enter would be the USA and Scandinavia.
With the market share in Australia now at 7.9% it would be interesting to see some research as to if A2 may potentially now be starting to lower the incidence rate of type 1 diabetes.
Here is a link to Coles in oz for the A2 baby formula which shows it as being temporarily unavailable. I hope this is because they have sold out.
http://shop.coles.com.au/online/national/baby/formula
Here is a link to the China State Farms website who are selling A2 baby formula in China. If you use chrome you can translate the page into english.
Plenty of advertising about it but it doesn't appear that you can buy it online yet. I have sent an email to them to find out when it will be available but not sure if I will get a response as the email was in English.

Sorry misinterpreted the question, try this link http://www.ruralnewsgroup.co.nz/dair...more-suppliers
A2 CORPORATION pays a premium for its A2 milk of 8-10% above the farmgate price of standard milk, says managing director Geoff Babidge.
I'm no expert, but it's share price seems to have dipped slightly below the support trend line, theres heavy selling pressure at the moment, and as someone said earlier, its in a bollinger squeeze, which all indicate its in for a bit of higher volatility, I would guess downward. Am i right? or just being pessimistic? I've been considering buying into ATM recently, as its had a good long term uptrend, but at the moment I'm guessing it's going to downtrend a bit... before probably carrying on with it's long term uptrend. Well thats my newbie prediction anyway. Will probably be proved completely wrong, he he.

I have been watching the amount of A2 milk on sale at my local Countdown store for the last month and I kid you not they must be selling 8 bottles every two days. Not huge numbers but not bad considering the price, poor packaging and lack of advertising. Word is slowly getting around here in NZ, imagine what sales would be like if an effort was made to push sales. The quicker Fresha Valley comes to an agreement with A2 corp here in NZ the better.

Statement released from Muller Wiseman Dairies
Müller Wiseman Dairies confirms that all of its employees are accounted for with one member of staff treated on site for a minor head injury, following a fire incident in the low voltage switch room at its Droitwich dairy in the Midlands during the night.
The company is implementing established contingency plans to ensure the continuing supply of fresh milk products to customers, including increasing production elsewhere in its network of dairies.
Müller Wiseman Dairies operates a total of six dairies throughout the country, including its facility in Droitwich.
In co-operation with appropriate authorities, work to assess the cause and impact of the fire will be undertaken as an initial step towards putting plans in place to bring the facility back into operation as soon as is practicable.
The market seems pretty flat and relatively indifferent to this news, and it would be hard to imagine that an electrical room fire would be an impact of more than just a few days. I’d be interested though to know what production priorities Muller Weismann would have in meeting back orders when they are back up and running.
https://www.nzx.com/files/attachments/183431.pdf
Milford are certainly buying heaps. Pretty much all the off-market trades are likely to be them buying I'd say. Still waiting for my buy signals to get back into this one - I'm sure it will treat me well when they go off.
I half suspect that maybe Milford are just buying more to keep the price up and in that uptrend. Will be interesting to see if it can break that 75/76 resistance in the near future (long term I'm sure it will). Maybe the market is worried about the major shareholders unloading more of their shares - a real concern.
Following the fire it looks like Muller Wiseman are making up production from other facilities. Given they have 30% of the UK milk market, one plant out of service within their fleet probably isn’t a big impact.
Should keep all that good A2 flowing into supermarkets also.
http://www.thegrocer.co.uk/fmcg/fres...350784.article
I don’t begrudge Geoff Babbage selling some shares and taking a well deserved profit after growing the company to where it is. Although, perhaps it would have been a little more prudent to issue new shares, as a bonus, after meeting a significant goal, perhaps after reaching the $280M in revenues by FY16 target. Then, who knows what is in his contract with ATM and what the goals are.
But, at the end of the day, it’s been as good a reason for short term traders to cycle the SP back to the longer term trend line as any other.
The fundamentals and growth outlook for ATM are not affected whatsoever, and each day that goes by the extraordinary acceleration in growth that ATM is achieving continues.
Consumers in Sydney, Melbourne, Manchester and London continue to buy up A2 milk in ever increasing volumes, new products are coming on stream at a furious rate, we should get an announcement regarding market entry into the US and Canada any time soon. Let alone infant formula selling now in Australia and China.
Disc: Buy
Hi all,
I'm looking at buying into ATM, but i see from some of the recent posts that while everyone seems to have a positive outlook for ATM there is some differing opinions on whether now is a good time to buy at its current SP.
I know its achieved good market penetration in Aus (and still going) and is expanding into China and the UK. It also had good growth in FY13 compared to the previous year. And I'm going to assume (and hopefully not make an ass out of myself) that this growth should continue, based on the expansion and sales plans. From my research so far the management also seem very competent, so no issues there. Taking that into account, and the fact that ATM gets (most of) its income from royalties, what other factors have people taken into consideration when valuing this company? Any help/assistance/guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Also, JonnyTheHorse, I as wondering what you were meaning when you were waiting for your buy signals? Does this mean a lower SP, a change in overall market conditions or awaiting some announcement from the company (I get these are all linked to some extent, just want to get an idea on what others see as being triggers to buy).
Cheers
CD
Basically with this company I'm just using the charts (technical analysis) to determine when to buy and sell. It is well worth learning the basics of this (I am nowhere near an expert at it). With that said, I do like the fundamentals of the company and think the long term success should be pretty good. Currently there is nothing that says to me ATM is a buy from a technical perspective - it has broken out of an uptrend an appears to be going nowhere for the time being. My main issue with holding this one is that I reckon that the major shareholders will sell down - that hammered the stock the last time that happened.
Thanks JTH. I've got a couple of books on TA and charts which I hope to make a dent in over the long weekend.
I'm keeping an eye out for it in central London, haven't seen it yet. But according to their website it is in a number of places. Central London supermarkets often aren't much bigger than corner stores, so with competition for shelf space I don't have high hopes of seeing it.
Is there a link with a rundown on the history of the management team. I don;t doubt they are doing a good job I just want to know more about them. Can't see any info on their website. Only a list of names.
When and where is their AGM? I know someone here will know...
AGM is on Tuesday 19th November @ 2pm at the offices of Simpson Grierson, Level 27 Lumley Centre, 88 Shortland Street, Auckland.
I may go to this one, first ATM agm for me, it's always an inconvenience to go to Auckland, but I'm interested in gaining some insight and to hear how they will enter and tackle the US and Canada market, it's just such a big continent to conquer. JV's ?, territories ?, licences ?

The official launch of A2 Platinum in China, would have been a nice lunch I'm sure in the 'Great Hall of the People in Tiananmen Square'.
http://a2corporation.com/a2%C2%AE-pl...le-in-beijing/
"a2 Platinum - will be sold at high end baby maternity outlets in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chongqing and East China before progressively expanding to further major cities plus Hong Kong and Macau".
"The Chairman of CSF Agribusiness Group, Mr. Li Ya Cheng said "a2 Platinum infant formula expands the range of premium agricultural and aquaculture products CSF distributes throughout China. We are confident consumers will recognise the unique benefits of the a2 proposition and CSF will achieve significant distribution throughout China."
Any one catch the A2 baby formula commercial during one news tonight. Looks like it is now on sale here in NZ also.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHYVcPAhLr0
Yes it's for sale they just keep building up sales. If all goes well then this will be a great investment.
hold shares.
I have no doubt it will be a great investment and a great company.
Will be watching with interest to see the results of the below study due out in december.
The scientific journal Infant reported last month that studies have linked a digestive product of A1, but not A2, to an increased risk of type 1 diabetes in some infants, adverse immune responses, digestive disorders and respiratory dysfunction.
Sheep and goats also produce A2 milk. “It is considered safe and nutritious and has no known negative effects on human health,” wrote clinical nutritionist Sue McGarrigle in the British Association for Applied Nutrition & Nutritional Therapy newspaper.
The full effects are still being unravelled, with a definitive study to be released before Christmas on whether the A1 protein is harmful.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/b...-1m-sales.html
Yes could be interesting report I feel a2 however prefers not to bash a1milk but push a2 as an alternative. Think they are worried about getting into scientific battle with big milk companies.
