this has the STINK of ....back to back offerings.........the new trend in the small bio`s this year seems to be small offer, to avoid big sell-off............then pull another medium offer 4 or 5 days later
seen it quite often this year....this big volume , and high open, and sell off all day stinks
bet someone $100 there would be an offering right after the close...lost the bet offer didn`t come till 4:45
i think alot of people drove it up early , thinking cleveland biolabs....CBLI............gla

This will test 2.25 again then go up slowly.
Agreed. Bought a quick 1000 today as a good long term play. Breath alcohol Covid testing and other forms of testing has the potential to be huge if the technology really works . I believe it will and will add to position over time
It does look good.
Nice got in looks good

"NEEDLE IN THE HAYSTACK"
Buyout,merger or partnership is coming in my opinion soon,quite possibly before the Meeting of Shareholders Wednesday, May 26, 2021 9:00 a.m. (Central Standard Time) AT&T Hotel and Conference Center 1900 University Avenue Austin, Texas 78705
RECENT FILINGS
1. 2021-03-03 S-3 FILING registration statement will not exceed $250,000,000

2. 2021-03-15 EFFECT filing (APPROVAL BY THE SEC)
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1001907/999999999521000949/9999999995-21-000949-index.htm
3. 2021-03-18 "to approve an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to increase the total number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock by 200,000,000 shares, to a total of 250,000,000 shares of common stock"
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1001907/000156459021014139/astc-pre14a_20210526.htm
I have addressed the possibilty of the registration of shares and an increase of the authorized to 250 Mil. shares as a possible "POISON PILL" but could be for another reason I.E. for merger,partnership but something is cooking because it is just not normal for a filing like this from ASTC.
DEFINITION OF POSION PILL
https://www.investopedia.com/terms/p/poisonpill.asp#:~:text=A%20poison%20pill%20is%20a,of%20a%20new%2C%20hostile%20party
4. 2021-02-16 10Q PAGE 8 "The Company had two existing facility leases and several small equipment leases. Astrotech leased office space consisting of 5,219 square feet in Austin, Texas that housed executive management, finance and accounting, sales, and marketing and communications." ...
"The lease began in November 2016 and originally expired in December 2023. On August 3, 2020, the Company decided to terminate the lease."
"In May 2013, 1st Detect completed build-out of a 16,540 square foot leased research and development and production facility in Webster, Texas. This facility is equipped with state-of-the-art laboratories, a clean room, a production shop, and offices for staff." ...
"On January 21, 2020, the Company entered into its fourth amendment of the original lease, with the amended lease beginning May 1, 2020 and expiring April 30, 2021, with the option to renew and extend the lease for one renewal term of one year. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2021, the Company has decided to allow the Webster lease to expire on its expiration date and declined the option to renew the lease. "
I have also researched the entire filing the above 10Q concerning THE TERMS "COVID" and "LEASE" and no where does it state that they declined to renew these leases over the Corona virus. As a matter of fact in the 10Q it states on page 13 >>>
"All of the Company’s employees who do not work in a lab setting are currently on a telecommunication work arrangement and have been able to successfully work remotely.The Company’s lab requires in-person staffing and the Company has been able to continue to operate its lab, minimizing infection risk to lab staff through a combination of social distancing and appropriate protective equipment."
CONCLUSIONS:
We have multiple filings recently showing an unusual increase in share activity I.E. Authorizing(to be voted on at the May 26th shareholder meeting) to 250,000,000 shares and the filing for sale of stock up to $250,000,000.
We have office leases that were TERMINATED August 3rd
AND LAST but not the least the WEBSTER facility which I presume was used for manufacturing production of TRACER1000 (sales in Europe,etc.)" This facility is equipped with state-of-the-art laboratories, a clean room, a production shop, and offices for staff" EXPIRING April 30, 2021 in about 1 MONTH from now.
No where in the filings does it state that any leases were terminated due to COVID.
Why would they terminate all of their leases if they weren't ready to make a dramatic change,coupled with the share structure changes they are requesting approval for and the sale of up to $250,000,000 WORTH OF STOCK,which by the way at current prices would be at least $8.00 a share if they sold all of the current 50 Million authorized (prior to the vote to authorize 250 Mil.shares)
It all leads to speculation about much here but one thing is certain
Things are not normal at ASTC ... something is coming
I can't say how it will work out nor can I recommend you BUY SHARES ,that's up to you as always and I am not giving anyone advice as we could all be screwed here too because Pickens does not provide clarity and they have been awfully quiet for months.
I'm just trying to write what I see and someone wants to disagree I'd love to hear a better ,sensible explanation for everything we are seeing.
Don't invest more than you can afford to lose that's for sure
Picking up volume!!! Friday is gonna be nuts!!
First we will see 7.00 and then all the way up to 25.00!!
Looks like Stimulas just passed and we will see a rally back up to 3.00!!! Can't wait to see this break 7.00 again headed up to 15.00!!
Loaded a ton in the $1.4 and $1.5 range
Absolutely love these prices!! I will wait to break 7.00 again!!
Volume is heating up, this is going to be huge going forward.. imo
We broke $3 a share blue skies ahead, earnings before market on Thursday.
$ASTC The publication on GeNose. IMO, our detector is way more accurate and robust https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S221418042030101X

ASTROTECH’S SUBSIDIARY 1ST DETECT WINS GOLD AT ‘ASTORS’ HOMELAND SECURITY AWARDS AS BEST CBRNE DETECTION SYSTEM
Austin, TX - December 21, 2020
Astrotech Corporation (NASDAQ: ASTC) announced today that its 1st Detect subsidiary has received a Gold Award for its TRACER 1000 explosives trace detector (ETD) in the Best CBRNE Detection System category at American Security Today’s ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards program.
“We are honored and humbled to receive the award, as it is a recognition of our core philosophy of differentiation through innovation,” said Raj Mellacheruvu, Chief Executive Officer of 1st Detect. “It has long been known that mass spectrometry is the superior technology for detecting explosives. We have solved the ease of use and ruggedness challenges of traditional mass spectrometry and we now have instruments deployed and in service throughout Europe. In addition, with our near zero false alarms, our instruments cost less than the competing technology and we are quickly becoming recognized as technological leaders in the industry.”
The Annual ‘ASTORS’ Awards, now in its fifth year, is the preeminent U.S. Homeland Security Awards Program, highlighting the most cutting-edge and forward-thinking security solutions coming onto the market today. The program is specifically designed to honor distinguished government and vendor solutions that deliver enhanced value, benefit and intelligence to end users in a variety of government, homeland security, enterprise and public safety vertical markets.
“Today, the United States is increasingly focusing on protecting public spaces, as well as IT/cybersecurity networks, and they are calling on innovative companies like 1st Detect to help them do so,” according to Tammy Waitt, co-founder and editorial director of American Security Today. “‘ASTORS’ nominations are evaluated on their technical innovation, interoperability, specific impact within the category, overall impact to the industry, relatability to other industry technologies and application feasibility outside of the industry.”
The TRACER 1000 is the only certified ETD that uses mass spectrometry, the world’s gold standard instrumentation used to identify complex chemical compounds. Checkpoint and cargo certification was received from the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) enabling TRACER 1000 sales in Europe and much of the rest of the world. Additionally, on September 9, 2020, the TRACER 1000 passed the non-detection testing of the U.S. Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) Air Cargo Screening Technology Qualification Test (ACSQT). Upon successful completion of detection testing, which is the next and final phase, the TRACER 1000 will be added to the Air Cargo Screening Technology List (ACSTL) as an “approved” ETD for sales to the cargo screening market within the United States.
“After many years of hard work, innovation and investment, we are poised for continued growth in the security industry which will be followed by product introductions in the fields of agriculture and medicine. This is an exciting time as we begin our scale cycle and we are pleased to have our superior technology be recognized by a leading voice in the security industry,” concluded Mellacheruvu.
This is going to be huge, already moving up nicely awaiting news.
the 2 dbags that run congress, have set it up for an invasion......as pelosi would say "the optics"........however they are flagging people that were at the rally , and prohibiting them from flying....this will give ASTC an edge and a short term BOOST , as their security devices have been approved by the NTSB....and provide an additional measure of safety for all the a** h**** that are flying in to D C

Rapid COVID-19 Breath Test a Game-Changer
“Breath testing is noninvasive, non-intrusive, and can be performed repeatedly as needed,” Dr. Dweik notes. “It does not have a dose limitation like x-rays, an amount limitation like blood or saliva tests, or a timing limitation like PCR [nasal swab], blood and urine tests.”
Cleveland Clinic researchers, led by Dr. Dweik, will work with the BreathTech team to further develop the company’s BreathTest-1000™ mass spectrometer, which is based on the company’s core mass spectrometry technology currently used for explosives trace detection. It will be developed to detect metabolites associated with respiratory disease, including COVID-19, and potentially screen patients within as little as 60 seconds.
The partnership brings together the breath analysis expertise and clinical resources of the Cleveland Clinic team with the scalable technology and deployment experience of the BreathTech team. The joint team plans to open a clinical trial with the technology in the coming months, starting with a Phase 1 open study to verify detection sensitivity in hospitalized patients with COVID-19.
“Creating a COVID-19 breath test addresses an urgent unmet clinical need today while also setting us up for a better response to the next global pathogen threat,” adds Dr. Dweik.

It would be nice just getting back to the stock sale price they sold at. ASTC
Target $25.00?? Looks like it! In predicting price targets of as low as $25 and as high as $25, analysts are in agreement on assigning the stock over the next 12 months average price target of $25. Stock’s current price level is 1143.78% above from estimated low price target while it is 1143.78% below the estimated high; and even if the ASTC’s share succeeded to reach the median price of $25, then the outlook of +1143.78% could come to the excitement of the investors. https://stocksregister.com/2020/10/30/astrotech-corporation-astc-is-sitting-on-a-potential-gold-mine/
What happened that ASTC is giving back all of its gains???
don`t like companies that pull back to back offers, but interesting tech.....bought a 4k starter just before the close for $2.02.....think i`ll sit on it for a spell .....glta
