From Cenkos Note out today….
“ Comment: We see today’s announcement as significant despite being a non-binding LOI. This is because a leading worldwide supplier of automotive interiors to Tier 1 manufacturers will be a large, sophisticated entity and will have not only performed significant diligence to get to this stage, but will provide significant expertise to help progress the development of new solutions for the automotive interior industry using graphene. We see significant value to OEMs, for example, in more thermally conductive materials to enhance seat comfort (cooler feeling seats). Another example, post pandemic antibacterial and antiviral coatings will also be of interest for high frequency touch points. Lastly, whilst the automotive industry has historically been slow to adopt new technology, it is going through a revolution with a much greater rate of adoption of new technology and reduced development and qualification times. In particular we believe new materials for seats, for example, could well be introduced mid-product lifecycle. This new market opportunity provides significant future potential for Directa Plus, the value of which is not reflected in our current forecasts and 280p DCF based valuation. ”
