I can't work out why this is tanking so much - they've never been busier, sales must be soaring.

Both major parties are promising to built lots more homes; and will probably introduce house buying incentives like reducing stamp duty. If it happens it should help the profitability of house builders and so the price should go up.

All very simple

Congratulations everyone who got in at 16p. I wasn't brave enough. Bought at 22+ on Tuesday, sold at just over 26 today. Made 16.5% in a day. Nice (If anyone is interested that's equivalent to around 100 trillion trillion % per annum. That is a nice return!)

"The company should issue a RNS giving an explanation for the huge drop in SP." Only if it is because of something they know which the market does not know; and if the market does not know it, then it can't have caused the drop.

This is a volatile share - get used to it.

I see he's buying the same shares as me.

What is this REX platform? Is it like Primary Bid? Does that mean we can't buy via brokers? I didn't see a timescale for applications. (Probably missed it.)

Davand, you're judging, the performance of the company by the share price when you say no progress in 20 years. At the finals in 2019 the order book stood at £5.6m. At last year's finals it stood at £160m. That's a 28,500% increase in 5 years which were badly affected by Covid. The turnover last year was over £30m, most of the time in the last 15 years they've struggled to break £10m. The pipeline of realistic business they are working on has gone up from £220m in 2019 to £1.4b at last year's finals. that's over 600% rise in 5 years.

It has been "jam tomorrow" for many years, you are quite right, but in the last couple of years, things have changed, and the growth is real.

Over the years I have asked several questions by email, and Simon has ALWAYS responded personally within an hour. I doubt there is any other plc where that would happen.

If you doubt it then why not test it - send in a question. Then you'll be able to speak from experience.

And the market is now reacting positively to the RNS. Not sure I'm brave enough to buy any more just now though.

Webcast is on Monday - not today

The management team should know by now that dealing with foreign Governments and inter Government finances always takes much longer than it should. Changing the year end was a waste of effort. Work out how long you expect things to take, then triple it!

But there is good news - none of the forecast income has been lost, just delayed, and much of the pipeline gets closer to formal orders. In a few months time this may seem like a brilliant buying opportunity.

Hi Monty,

Just querying your "one mini disaster after another." Apart from the Philippines, what other min disaster have we had? And we're not sure that is a disaster - indications were that it was still on schedule and still going to profitable.

The high volume yesterday seems to have come from Gresham House

Big rise today on a large volume. Any ideas?

Not much of a discount, and with the share price going down to meet it, they may struggle to get enough takers. If you can get shares on the open market for the same price (OK you say stamp duty - is there any on Ilika? - and dealing costs) it hardly seems worth it.

He might get round to installing some EV charging points one day (Manchester, I believe, has the lowest density of Public EV chargers of any city.) He can't blame the Tories for that.

Well it has reduced the number of syllables by 67% - quick to write & quicker to say.

All we need is Tommy James singing a theme song now (for you older readers!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkMgs3lFwkQ

It also increases potential risk/reward with exchange rates.

Very Interesting development. Moving outside the UK for the first time. No doubt they'll get the begging bowl out for shareholders again soon.

Thanks Alpha, I did realise that, that's why I said Ceres "primarily" make fuel cells.

The fact is Governments around the world are throwing money at the Hydrogen sector,. Ultimately both businesses should benefit.
