SDS gets instos on board

Drilling supplier SDS Corporation's recent capital raising looks to have reworked its share registry in a major way, in addition to creating some liquidity in the stock, with three institutional shareholders coming onto the registry.

Westpac and ANZ banks have come on board in recent times with JP Morgan understood to be taking a 15% stake.

SDS raised $16 million in December 2003 by placing 30 million shares of the tightly held stock at 55 cents, with founder Fred Moir, who while having sold down recently still has a sizable 44 million shares.

The move increased the company's issued capital by 52.3%, and lifted its market capitalisation to $48 million.

It also recently announced a 60% lift in revenues for the half year period, earning $41.5 million.
