Are you bought shares in TM1 to make a quick return (2-3 times your buying price) or as an investment with the intention to hold for a year or more?
I've been invested since pre-ipo and ipo. Bought more when they were about 1.5 or so and hold in excess of 10m shares
If you want to make a quick return (which I think is possible) then it's hard to determine exactly when the gains are going to be. They've had the permit news and I don't expect much more upwards momentum until other news comes through.
That next catalyst will, IMO, be the start of production.
This will give them gates fees in addition to the excellent margins on the black mass (see my previous post which covers this).
As long as you're not time-constrained to get a return in 2-3 weeks, then, once the news of production and possible deals comes through, and maybe halo boxes too, the SP will take care of itself. I hope we'll exceed the previous high of 5.2p by the end of June and maybe before. however, making SP predictions is a mugs game as it's down to the sentiment of all investors. From what I've seen, the ones who continually go on about SP gains know the least about how to value a company and are just guessing or ramping.
You'll always get traders/rampers on board pushing unrealistic timelines, but looking at the fundamentals here we are currently undervalued and that's before we start production.
The completion of the recyclus deal will add clarity and I believe that small institutional investors will be looking to take stakes once the recyclus deal completes and the mcap exceeds ÂŁ100m (that will be just over 4p on the enlarges capital share base post the recyclus deal completion).
If you're looking to hold this in excess of 12 months (and hopefully longer) you'll make great returns.
I've calculated the turnover from 1 shift of the lithium plant (based on average gate-fees and the increased selling price of black mass) as approx ÂŁ60m p.a.
The profit on this is about ÂŁ40m p.a.
That excludes lead-acid plant, battery boxes and mines.
If they can increase the allowed though-put at the plant to allow a 2nd shift, you can double those figures.
However, you need to increase the share base to 2378m which give an mcap of ÂŁ57m approx (as they are issuing more shares to fund the recyclus deal).
So, once production starts, the current SP is apprxx 1.5 years profits, which is incredibly cheap.
