@asimpleinvestor and swervington ,
Guys, I am not posting here to create fear, I merely suggested my reasoning for the drop as "sell on news", brigade who do this as routine and they are disciplined this way, by derisking the have taken gains , some may sell up compleely in the hope that if there is a funding announcement they can sit outside and wait for the share to bottom .
The ATM raised around £878k, is a facility that controls the issuance to lessen the impact of dilution over time, however it is not unlimited and with ALRT's ambition there will come a time where more funds will be required, how they arrange that is either institutional backers, which vould mean more shares allocated or they raise by coming back to private investors.
My estimation is they had a healthy cash balance going into 2026, approx £2.8 million, typical cash burn for a company this size annually around £1.5 -2.5m, so they may have funds to extend beyond 2026.
But each RNS absent of contract win or revenue generation keeps the clock ticking and the cash reserves dwindle.
I think short term we are seeing the business forming into a specialist defence agency , embedded deep within Government, long term prospects will only give back meaningful returns to investors once the contracts get signed and they build a solid portfolio of Defence partners generating income.
