Sorry daft post.

How can the directors commit to buying shares a couple of months before these results. It doesn't make any sense

[purple_helmet] 25/9/2024 07:08

Delisting, no take over

[imjustdandy] 24/9/2024 07:11

Results tomorrow - bit under the radar since the 18p placing.

[babbler] 04/7/2024 13:46

How does soon now hold 39%. Crazy. And no takeover?

[timbo003] 02/7/2024 06:21

Looks like the BOD (just) managed to get the special resolution passed on Friday (resolution 3 - disapplication of pre-emption rights) so the fundraising could go ahead - so this is now a three year hold for me if I wish to benefit from the EIS tax breaks

[timbo003] 27/6/2024 09:19

The GM to vote on the fund raising is being held at 14:30 today, I have have subscribed for a few (EIS) shares in this proposed placing, so I am hoping the BOD have managed to muster enough support (75%) to get the resolutions through.

I do find it incredible that the BOD did not previously consult with all major shareholders concerning the proposed placing before agreeing to going ahead, but judging by the RNS earlier this week, apparently they did not.

You are asking the wrong question.

Do clothing manufacturers want to produce longer lasting clothes / jeans ?
Do concrete producers want to produce concrete 50 - 100% stronger ?
Do tyre producers want to produce stronger tyres that last longer ?
Do paint producers want to produce longer lasting paint ?
Do asphalt producers want longer lasting tarmac ?

It's the same answer for all the above and more. Graphene in different forms will solve all those questions but users don't want to reduce the volume of future sales so progress is very,very difficult.

Not the worst price for their placing and if their guidance is correct re EBITDA positive approaching even better but will wait and see...

"The Company has a significant current pipeline of opportunities and tenders at various stages of development and across all verticals, including the participation in a €44 million two-year contract being sought by Setcar. Accordingly, the Company expects to deliver material revenue growth in future periods as these crystallise.

Management retains a positive outlook for the Company and, subject only to the timing of the expected major contract award described above, has confidence in meeting current market current market consensus revenue expectations for the year to 31 December 2024 ("FY24") of c.€17 million. Taking into account the further, incremental investment in the business made possible by the Fundraising and the anticipated margins assumptions on larger tenders, the Company expects to achieve its target of turning EBITDA positive in 2025."

Wouldn't expect the below to effect the share price but good to see its credentials recognized all the same.
Hopefully will help the sales team at least.

A Graphene-Enhanced Recycled-Plastic Asphalt Mixture Modifier: Two Case Studies in the United
Kingdom and the United States of America

Abstract
In addition to heavy and frequent traffic loads, climatic conditions pose significant challenges for asphalt pavement designers. The situation becomes even more challenging in areas with high average temperatures and extreme climates, greatly affecting design parameters. This paper introduces an innovative asphalt mixture modifier made from carefully selected recycled plastics and graphene nanomaterial, which has been trialled in both the United Kingdom and the United States of America. This modifier, applied through a dry method/process, enables the production of a high-performance asphalt mixture, especially suitable for areas with heavy traffic loads or those located in hot climate regions. From the environmental perspective, the resultant product exhibits a remarkably low embodied carbon, as demonstrated in the corresponding Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), making it a sustainable alternative to other common asphalt modifiers. The test results presented in this paper reveal that asphalt mixtures with this modifier exhibit a higher modulus, increased strength, superior resistance to permanent deformation, comparable or better fatigue performance, and improved low-temperature performance when compared to their counterpart reference asphalt mixtures. In addition to its environmental benefits, this asphalt modifier has been rigorously examined and monitored in numerous projects over the past few years. It has been successfully employed in many large-scale projects both in Europe and the United States of America. Most recently, the Virginia Department of Transportation placed a field trial featuring the use of this asphalt modifier as part of their ongoing effort to evaluate “Sustainable Surface Mixtures Incorporating Recycled Plastic Waste.”

Presuming by the fact its an RNS not a nonRNS its another decent contract for gipave. 15 Kilometres sounds pretty good imo as is the fact they're pushing the greenness of it all. If they can get it accepted as part of the road to net zero they should do well in europe I'd of thought?

[arthur_lame_stocks] 14/5/2024 17:46

The cash comes in, the cash goes out, but nobody knows whence it goes.

[dogwalker] 09/5/2024 10:29

FY23 results must be out any day now. Will be interesting, I hope.

[bad gateway] 12/4/2024 06:10

Nice visible contract for them re gipave today. Sounds impressive on the energy savings hopefully will get noticed by bigger customers.

[rock star] 22/3/2024 07:08

Been cynical for a few years. The tech is average rather than groundbreaking imo.

An industrial company rather than a tech one.

[lawson27] 20/2/2024 16:31

joined you @18 for the recovery here, GLA

[bad gateway] 14/2/2024 15:15

Cavendish did a 29 page note on these end Jan mainly focussing on Setcar. They're still bullish and give a 177p price target.
Worth reading for the indepth on Setcar imho esp with the share price so down in the doldrums.

[babbler] 12/2/2024 07:58

Moving into defense.... Sounds good.

[dogwalker] 12/2/2024 07:08

An upbeat update this morning : great.

[bad gateway] 08/2/2024 15:10

£1.50-£1.60 at its peak two years ago. They did a video interview claiming Setcar was tendering for €50M in contracts that came to not a lot.
Still think myself Setcar may do well as it keeps coming up with decent sized contracts but when is the issue imho as the markets got bored of waiting and sees better plays elsewhere judging by the share price

[kickingking] 08/2/2024 14:56

Has there been any graphite company that has been any money for shareholders?I don't mean a quick trade. Over a long period. Definitely not here. Remember these around £1 mark. Another share to eventually be bought for fraction of pennies

[9degrees] 31/1/2024 11:42

surely contract renewal is good news - dont understand this drop in share price- market makers playing silly??

[babbler] 20/12/2023 07:51

Very nice news at last.
