Good idea. I want to see this company succeed and if we collectively drive in confidence we will all see the benefits. I believe in this company, it’s pitched right we’re the market need is and is ready to go. Its also green and clean so if that message gets out will attract a large pool of investors.
That’s a good point BumbleB, the announcement of AlkaMem in November is obviously leading somewhere, possible an RNS to tee up shareholder day. The company is almost certainly going to make the event a highlight!
I’m confident this one will fly and won’t be held back. I’ve mentioned it before but it’s worth mentioning again for prospective new PIs based on some of the posts we’ve had lately. People have different motives with posts so base your decision on the RNS, the prospects and readiness, market conditions, recent share placement price, strategic partnerships and the fact that there is good news in the pipeline for shareholder showcase, strong hints at commercial contracts and of course Southern. I wouldn’t be surprised if this was made simple and very cost effective for AFC - Rolec as prime with its established reputation and provenance and AFC as supplier into Rolec. Rolec are already a big player so it’s not all down to AFC marketing. So for prospective new PIs, don’t focus on opinion of bulletin board posters go straight to the RNS and work it out for yourselves. I’m pretty sure you will arrive at the same conclusion. The time is ripe for AFC, the potential gains are high, it is derisked already, it has huge potential upside.
The value of a company at a particular time is determined by what people are prepared to pay for it, like any commodity. If you try to work it out from assets and profits alone you’ve missed the most important factor: potential future earnings. One of the best indicators at any point in time is the last placement price as big investors are privy to more information and therefore future profitability. Therefore AFC is no undervalued as it should be 20p based on fridays placement and from there is expected to increase in value (investors don’t invest thinking it’s going down). I think this is heading upwards and will move rapidly on the next announcement so it’s the ideal time to buy now. I said the same a few months ago and anyone who took that advice will have quadrupled their investment and I say it again now, it’s on the cusp of big things, perfect time to buy. We know it’s true worth, there is a brief opportunity to buy at less than placement price, and then it’s onwards and upwards.
Only small volumes on trades now this is going to turn. We know small volumes are amplified in their effect in AIM, so equally expect a significant upturn with the next good news - shareholder day around the corner, EV contract imminent and let’s not forget Southern. If you’re not in best get in now as it will move so fast you’ll miss it! Won’t take much to boost rapidly.
I think AFC have a good strategy for cost management going forward. They are not about to set up a new manufacturing facility just for themselves as their strategy is to use other established manufacturers to make their products. Denora are established on the electrodes and Rolec will have key relationships with manufacturers. Therefore they only need to manage their operating costs for now which they have done remarkably well with the placing at 20p. There won’t be another placement for a while and so I’m looking forward to further rises over the next 2 months as we know for sure there are planned events. I think PIs will gain significantly long term if they hold their nerve over the next couple of weeks. It’s normal to bounce around the placement price or just below until it’s out of the way so by next week it will be released again. There are always those who bring a doubt with their opinions so I just recommend people check the facts, the maturity of the technology, the huge market that is ripe for this product, the strategic relationships in place with world leading companies Rolec and Denora, board members bought in, a reinvigorated marketing team, investor videos hinting strongly that contracts are just around the corner (AB hinted one this year). This is AIM, it’s bumpy but it’s the chance to make very big, and this company is probably better placed than any to make it. So if you invest in AIM there is no better option than AFC
BumbleB did you put in for the shareholder day? I haven’t kept up with all the posts so apologies if it’s already been discussed, but in any case sounds fantastic so if anyone on here is booked in please report back on what you see.
This week has been a major confidence boost in AFC which in my opinion is going BIG. The share price has seen significant rises recently based on a growing realisation that it’s a company with huge potential, a market demand for electric cars that is about to go exponential, and a product that’s ready to go and will be showcased shortly. The SP has responded very predictably as pretty much every share will migrate to a placement price on notification, and we are now hovering around 20p so that’s normal folks. Over the next few weeks with more good news in store and renewed confidence from investors - we’ve seen some pretty big buys recently which spells confidence to me! - we can expect an imminent SP rise into December. Looking back at the proactive investor interviews I’m pretty certain there will be some big announcements coming up. It’s been a long time coming and I’m a long term investor here but I like the technology, I’m happy to invest in something that’s green and clean and I’m delighted with the prospects - check the facts folks if you are in any doubt it’s all there: world beating technology, strategic partnerships with big players, huge market, and above all the timing is right here right now!
I think you’re right there chippyjo, sellers will get caught out on this one for sure. This will bounce and bite shorters and sellers. The indicators are all extremely positive, nothing has changed on the prospects, and this is just a temporary manipulation. Just have faith.
Definitely! Nice summary to bring everything into perspective. Whichever way you look at this one all the ducks are in a row and it is ready to fly! Major investors don’t buy in at 20p if they think this one is heading south. This one is heading north all the way, prospects are first class!
Looking at this placement today it’s probably the best confidence boosting news for a long time. Firstly we’ve got it out of the way, but more significantly it is at an incredibly high placement price at 20p. There is clearly a new investor onboard willing to shell out a lot of money who recognises the potential. I can see the SP pushing to 50p by the end of the year. AFC have managed this one well. Looking forward to more good news in the coming weeks!
Glad for you and others who had the courage to buy back in - this one is going places. AIM is not for the faint-hearted but it's where the big wins are. Right now I can't think of a company better placed to make it to the big time and that is significant for AIM investments as most of the derisking has already happened. It was a bold shift in strategy to focus on off-grid EV charging, and us long term investors had to live through the delay that caused, but in hindsight it was probably the best decision they made! For me what clinched it was teaming up with Rolec who are the biggest name in EV charging points and not just in this country - everywhere I go now I come across Rolec charging points. I think the rise we have seen is both a rebalancing of where the SP should have been because it was held suppressed by a few technical delays, but also more importantly it is also now a recognition of a company that is well positioned and on the cusp of commercialisation and the big time. There are several key announcements to come this year (we are not done yet) and the possibility of a very big contract.
Another awesome day for AFC shareholders! The future is looking very bright for this one now - more announcements in the pipeline, a market crying out for the technology and teamed up with world players Rolec and De Nora. Just want to say thank you to BumbleB and those who kept faith in the earlier part of the year when it was a struggle to keep perspective, and thanks to Chippyjo for organising the PI 'collective'. I would agree with BumbleB, the most important thing with this company is to read into the RNS and make your own judgement of the potential and keep faith in it because we don't always know the motives of posters. I reckon we will see this head north of 50p soon and who knows it could go massive - when these tech companies come good, they come really good!
Not posted on here for a while but what an awesome week for AFC! Well done to all those who kept faith. This company has persevered and finally come good. Great strategy, knows where it is going, got the timing right with technology to satisfy growing demand, teamed up with major players and finally getting its marketing sorted. This will hit the big time very soon, it all looks good from here!
I think the SP has responded as expected to the negative PR aka the doom mongers, who ironically are moaning about the company and the ineffectiveness of the.... PR machine.. would make a great Private Eye cartoon. But in all seriousness the prospects look good. The last series of announcements have all pointed to huge potential and a roadshow this year for an EV Charger with great prospects, and delivery of the first commercial fuel cell to Southern. It is summer hols so we can expect some quiet time but the prospects haven’t changed. In my opinion, Q4 2019 will see a massive jump in the SP. Watch this space.
