17th January 2021 – share price 74.50p
Holding steady at £500m, but over the next quarter, up, up and up.
Plenty of news coming this quarter, Fuel Cell systems shipping to clients, final results (with loads of detail on projects etc), and likely more strategic/client deals signed (see the Adam Bond video from December on Proactive Investors)
14th January 2021 – share price 81.60p
There is no reason why we would not see orders for more systems any day now.
There is no need for many clients to wait for any trials, they can most likely see the Extreme E and Acciona systems built and fully functional by now at AFC (how do you think they got ABB and Ricardo signing agreements without seeing those systems first??). Along with the CH2RGE system that was taken on the EV roadshow, AFC still have it!!
From the RNS snippets below it is perfectly clear to me that:
AFC have a commercial pipeline
AFC have a binding agreement with BK Gulf for production
AFC will have first production units from BK Gulf in Q1 2021
The new factory was available for system assembly from 23 November, there was no need for AFC to wait for fit out, as that is more about office space and other facilities, note the phrases "will be utilised immediately" and "at any point in time" in the RNS snippets below, that means they do not have to wait for the fit out to be finished.
I posted that IMO AFC would need more cash to achieve their ambitions – the response was:
7th January 2021 – share price 81.20p
No chance, the funds raised were to cover building systems to fill orders for delivery over the next 12-24 months, they have what they need, plenty of cash.
More cash was raised within the next couple of months
