I maintain Attractive Risk/Reward profile2 Feb 2021 19:05
In calculating the value assigned to hydrogen, you obviously have to deduct from the market cap the value of the legacy business. This latter was valued by the market at £5m pre announcement. The legacy business is profitable on a normalised basis - and the market had assigned it a 5x EBITDA multiple just before the hydrogen RNS. That’s a low multiple. In a post Covid world, that multiple should rise back to 8.5-9x as it used to be, meaning: the value of the legacy business would rise to £9m.
The market is now valuing the hydrogen opportunity at £11m in a Covid world; and implicitly at £7m (16 current mcap less 9m) in a normalised post Covid crisis scenario.
Needless to say the hydrogen opportunity is priced for a black-sky, when you think of the enormous upside potential!
I maintain that the risk/reward profile here remains clearly attractive.
