There are plenty of reasons to be cheerful regarding gsf here. Firstly, the recent largely unnecessary RNS released to try and shore up opinion. In this the chair commentated that:
Looking ahead to the coming quarters and years, it is evident that effective capital allocation and our unique diversification strategy have shielded us from the severe impacts others in the industry face.
In other words, other energy storage companies that have focussed on the Uk alone are suffering, but gsf is not. The management have nothing to gain and much credibility to lose by sticking their necks out so far if that RNS is not backed up with fact. We will of course see in time, but with 2024 likely seeing a doubling of the size of the portfolio and a 12% divi to keep us warm until then this appears to be an over reaction by Mr Market and a buying opportunity for those who wish to take it.
Obvious there are lots of bad things that could happen; delays, cost over runs etc but this is true of any company and something we must all factor in to our investment decision. As PIs we have no choice but to trust management at face value. If there were problems, then a sector wide issue and a series of divis being cancelled would provide the perfect cover.
