Hi AJP the reason I favour a free for all is that it is a fairer reflection to the company on what are the frequent issues of concern to investors. There is no limit on the number of questions anyone can submit. I would urge everyone in this forum to raise questions and get things of their chest!

Whilst an organised list has much merit, it means each issue is only raised once so the company can’t tell what are the most burning issues for investors.

With the upcoming investor meet company in mind please can we use this an opportunity to ask what they know about octopus investments, as they are a major institutional shareholder for Itaconix. The continued sales by Octopus Investments are the main factor preventing share price growth, despite all the good progress being made by Itaconix.

Sometimes questions get missed so I would be grateful if a number of us could raise this important issue to ensure we receive a response.

Yesterday this website also didn’t publish the RNS for the other company I follow on here, until much later. The site is very unreliable for both RNS and trades. I just come here for the discussion.

Yes interesting that the presentation is a day later. I feel this is a good thing. Strong results followed a day later by answers to the many questions we have built up over recent months.

I would strongly recommend to everyone, getting your questions in early so you have more chance of them being incorporated into the presentation or included in the Q&A session. It’s great to be going into this event on a high.

Reading through comments here it is clear that “everyone’s a salesperson”. Either they want to see the price rise or fall!

I make no secret of the fact that I’m extremely bullish on Ilika so am definitely in the glass half full category.

I respect that Buzz is open about his views, which are definitely in the glass half empty category.

Sometimes no news is good news. The company has been very quiet on its plans for Goliath this year and that is unusual.

Stock markets selling off hard today, particularly tech stocks. Whereas Ilika is a sea of blue up 7%. Draw your own conclusions.

“The company is completing final defence testing of the solid state technology with selected partners ahead of a production ramp-up in the second half of 2026, aligned with qualification and integration timelines.”

As AJP says “everyone is a salesman”.

For me I focus on the company not the surrounding noise and I buy the dips with confidence.

Amazed but not totally surprised that there has been some selling this week due to geo-politics, but frankly it’s bonkers when we have a massive update coming at the end of the month.

So by all means keep on selling as I was planning to add more at 125p but I’m even happier to buy your shares at 110p 😄

Monte there is a raft of environmental legislation that the Green Party would like to bring in. This would undoubtedly include banning forever chemicals. In fact even the current govt is already working on a plan for PFAS.

The Green Party winning the recent by-election means the govt has to start appealing to their voters and do more for the environment. A ban on PFAS would be a good start and this would directly benefit Itaconix.

Environmental problems are not going away and the recent de-investment in green tech due to USA politics will be reversed in due course.

Glad to see the majority of us holding firm despite the wider market sell off. If price does dip I would see it as a golden opportunity to add more. I believe Itaconix is very well stocked up on raw materials and holds a large inventory so if there are any delays to shipping they can take that in their stride. Other than that I don’t see any material bearing on the company.

As people here already know I have already dedicated a large proportion of my portfolio to Ilika. Despite that I have loaded up today as this is so oversold and the market is waking up to this.

The figures quoted by Neon below are very achievable and when good news comes the share price will jump up instantly so this is too good an opportunity to miss IMO.

I’ve noticed a few times now this site is saying there are transactions which later get minused out. For example today -10,000. These appear to be corrections. Therefore do not trust the share trade info on this site and instead use the official London Stock Exchange website.

Waking up to the news that the Green Party comfortably won the Gorton and Denton by-election demonstrates what I meant in my post just a few days ago on 23/2/26, when I commented “Those headwinds will in future become tailwinds when future governments reignite environmental priorities. Very interesting that here in the U.K. the political party after Reform who is picking up the most votes is the Green Party. Just because current leaders have placed the environment on the back burner does not mean that people have stopped caring for the environment and politics and markets are very cyclical.”

Hi Neon it is actually even better than that. The slide from their 22nd Jan presentation shows 27 NDAs/MTAs for Goliath:

17 Automotive

3 Consumer

4 Aerospace

3 Tier 1

Hi Neon, as you know I am extremely bullish on Ilika and looking at today’s price action it does seem to indicate last night went well.

I just wondered what was the source of the reports from the event, which you mention in your message?

Absolutely agree Elsol but it’s to our advantage in the short term. We all know a torrent of good news is coming so being able to buy at this price is a gift IMO.

If you look through recent week’s trades it is apparent that Octopus Investments are selling blocks of 10,000 shares with a limit price of 120p. That is why despite the vast majority of transactions being ‘buys’ the price is still in the 120 - 125p range. Once Octopus Investments are done, the share price will no longer be suppressed. It may seem somewhat frustrating at present but it is an amazing buying opportunity.

Whilst I may not like the current share price, I do like that the company appears to be giving careful thought and consideration as to their commercialisation strategy. It will be interesting to see what transpires from this evenings event.

The company should also start to receive feedback on its 10Ah samples in the coming weeks which will help inform whether or not a 50Ah sample is required for the auto sector.

It may also yield the first licensing deal(s) for Goliath. I think there is a strong chance they will land a household / electronic appliance or defence contract as the 10Ah battery is already the required size for these sectors.
