It is the ARM MODEL.

I remember many moons ago, buying at 60p after a profit warning but selling way too early!

Agreed. This one seems to fly under the radar for most.

Bloom energy popping at time of writing. Sector bounce

In auction. Crazy day but good!

Seems that way again today!

Another upgrade. Always after the big ruses….

Jefferies raises Ceres Power price target to 460 (205) pence - 'buy'

Another good upgrade by Barclays. Nice rise again today

JANUS HENDERSON GROUP PLC have taken a 5% stake from zero prior. Nice move up today

Should be good. Bloom up 7% post market. Let’s see….

£3.30 seems a bargain dip price at the moment. Let’s see!

I can’t believe how few posters there are on here, after such a huge rise the last few weeks. Good in some ways as not many silly pumpers and dumpers and petty arguments!

Not with the way the US has opened I think. Let’s see

Just remember how Arm Holdings performed over the years from 60p. Similar business model here with high margins.

Now we know some of the reason for the large rise recently. Amazing deal!

Definitely agree with the USA buyers and Bloom.

Another surge again as US markets open. To think this was below a £1 not long ago.

There’s no top to this at the moment. MMs are really playing catch up on a far too depressed price. The company has a model like ARM and see how that moved over time

No stopping it again today. Follows Ballard again I think

Sector also back in favour of course. Both Ballard and Ceres are up around 82% up over the last month, close tracking
