Firstly and I realuse its difficult to write when you can't hear the way I am talking, but there is no condescension or patronisation intended when I write this. Firstly I can totally understand your annoyance at buying a chunk at 209 and the price falls to now 175.30. As with every holder on this board it doesn't feel great when the value of one's portfolio drops over a few days by this much. Believe me in April '25 when my portfolio was worth about 37% of my original investment I was pretty concerned! Being in hydrogen and in particular ITM, my portfolio has recovered a lot and briefly at the end of last week I broke even (though I am now in the red again). From your posts you are looking at a five times return. Assuming the number of shares you have at 95p and 209p are split equally (you of course will know precisely what your average is), your average would be 152. A multiplier of 5x this equates to 760p/s and a market cap of approx £5.25 billion. Assuming for instance you need to reach this in 3 years time and the market reflects a share price of 20 times revenue. For this ITM would need revenue of £262.5m. Or if based on 30 times revenue £175m both for the FY ending March 2029. If you believe this to be possible you could counter the frustration (which I totally get) with if "I zoom to a longer time frame and I believe in the prospects of the company, I'll just stick with it". Just think, the Rheinmetall RNS states several hundred up to 50MW sites. To get to our example £262.5m in revenue thats only about 6 Alpha sales in the year; and they need several hundred. I realise there is a lot of work and planning for the company to realise the start of these sites and one might need to stretch the target to say five years, but thusbis just one stream of income. Basically what I'm saying is don't beat yourself up about the 209 (easier said than done), but just manage your expectations by giving yourself a realistic time frame to make your 5 bagger. Personally and whilst I was really concerned in April 25 that I'd never be able to retire, the hydrogen market has reawoken and we are seeing real traction. Best regards.
