Fortunately the foundations of this skyscraper are reinforced with Vanadium! I agree that the subjective element here is really down to what gets acknowledged and when.
For me, and again, its only my opinion, even if our value is currently pegged simply to vanadium pricing and processing capacity, the clear and present reality for this business is that yes it has suffered because of the aforementioned falling vanadium prices, but it has also been subject to immense amounts of transactional forces that have exacerbated moves downwards, in a market where those who set the prices are more than happy to exaggerate those same movements.
This has all happened with little recognition of the opportunity and timing this fall has for the future of the energy storage vehicle and the very real positive news and progress that has been coming from Bushveld during the year, much of it focused around the maturing of the business, progress towards Vanchem and general project development. Obviously that creates an opportunity for future value, and I agree with the skyscraper analogy, but I would just add that I think its important the current valuation is considered in the context of all that we have seen take place in the last 12 months, not just the vanadium price. Personally think given the pedigree of horses currently in Bushveld's stable, a value of below £250m just does not cut it, regardless, because VRFB aside, the progress and clear roadmap and milestones already achieved for the Vanadium business alone, demands much more from this ailing market regardless. It is almost bizarre how ostrich-like AIM is being to this company when compared to other businesses with similar financials.
