RE: Shorting ITM9 Jun 2025 21:03
Helikon have been shorting ITM Power since late 2021 — when the sp was trading over £4.00. They crossed the 1% disclosure threshold on 11 Nov 2021, when the price was around 438p, and later built it up to a peak of 3.31% in mid-2023. As of the last disclosure in Feb 2024, they’re still holding 2.91% short.
So why haven’t they closed? Honestly, imo they’ve simply overstayed and are now trapped. Maybe they thought ITM would run out of cash or never commercialise. Maybe they ignored the market’s shift toward hydrogen and energy security. Either way, that thesis is looking tired.
Now, the landscape is changing fast — HySpeed, HAR2, strategic alliances, and real commercial contracts are starting to move. ITM’s core tech is ready. Government is backing clean hydrogen. Public and private sector money is lining up. All it takes now is contract conversions, and the market will wake up. As we can see already!!
And when that happens, it’s not just buyers who’ll move the price — shorts like Helikon will be forced to cover, adding rocket fuel to any rally.
I’ve held for the long term and know this will be back above £7 in the coming years. The recent daily gains are only a warm-up.
Wishing all genuine holders health, wealth, and strong hands. The next phase could be explosive.
