Personally I cannot see the SP dropping below £5, ( a) psychological barrier and b) lots of recommendations for £6+)

(Sharecast News) - Ceres Power tumbled on Thursday after Panmure Liberum downgraded the shares to 'sell' from 'buy'.

"To be crystal clear, we still believe in Ceres technology," the broker said. "However, as the shares are now up 8x in just 12 months and 244% year-to-date - we also believe this share price now ignores execution risks.

"These include: 1) Ceres relies on partners to scale manufacturing, limiting control over the pace of commercial rollout; 2) Early SOFC (solid oxide fuel cell) production remains operationally challenging, with yields and costs taking time to stabilise; and 3) Conventional power technologies may catch up before Ceres' ecosystem scales sufficiently.

"As a result, we move from buy to sell with a target price of 590p (from 475p)."

Panmure said that more partner progress and/or a rebasing of the share price would make it bullish again.

Also in that article:

"Manifold's removal came a month after almost a fifth of BP shareholder votes were cast against his election.

Shareholder advisory group Glass Lewis had called for investors to vote against him because of concerns over governance."

INTERESTING TO KNOW MORE ABOUT WHAT WERE Glass Lewis' concerns and also why they weren't discussed with the Chairman?

What is it with BP board members ????

I hope to goodness that they appoint a female Chairperson next time!

Meoryou,

Thank you for comments. Well meaning I'm sure, but I worked in Shell's Stanlow refinery for 10 years

Re "Heavy crude is needed to make bitumen and its like."

Yes, but the principle yield and aim of distillation (cracking etc. (in terms of profit etc.) is to maximise gasoline output.

That was possibly the Orange Pillock's plan from the start. Meanwhile the Iranians are talking to Putin. Personally I wouldn't expect too much Venezuelan crude coming onto the market in the next year, added to which bear in mind it's not an attractive crude to process (heavy).

Re "David Satterfield, a former US diplomat who advised the Biden administration.

"My assessment is the Iranian clock is longer," he told the Today programme on BBC Radio 4 earlier."

He'll be excommunicated by the "New Pope"!!

Both BP and Shell, particularly Shell have increased in SP this PM (after the Yanks have arrived); I wonder if the Orange Pillock and his cronies have been dabbling?

Re "How many shares do you have to have to be able to vote?"

In theory just one share should entitle you a vote. Best to get in touch with your broker to understand what arrangements are in place.

Isn't today (16/04), the day that the dividend is paid?
