Well the broker note hasn't had the desired effect, despite the "ballsy" comments.

How much money do they have?

[robertspc1] 14/1/2025 12:05

The new broker also mentioned a possible grant fund of £15m coming soon. Desperately needed

[robertspc1] 13/1/2025 08:30

BG no doubt selling down their five per cent stake

[rogk] 13/1/2025 08:12

A lot of buying last week but the share price didn't budge an inch. Implies a big Institutional seller IMO.

[robertspc1] 12/1/2025 21:23

Yep I used to work for a broker so know how it works. But house broker coming out with that headline is quite a statement imho. Interesting times ahead and for me the valuation is ludicrously low

[the cronk] 12/1/2025 09:03

That's the broker's job to be ballsy, to attract investor interest and investment.

The "note" also generates the broker revenue through the churn as their clients read it and decide to buy the stock, often having to sell something else to do so, generating two lots of fees for them.

They are, in effect, advertising pieces designed to make the broker money.

I assume a new broker would be well briefed. Going with the headline Quietly taking the lead in the global SSB race is pretty ballsy. Either they know something or they will look very silly

[jonnycj] 10/1/2025 22:04

Broker note also mentioned Apple amongst other companies showing an interest in the technology. Not sure if it was re Stereax or Goliath.

[robertspc1] 10/1/2025 12:13

Added a few more. New broker initiated coverage with note titled Quietly taking the lead in the global SSB race ... very bold statement. Also said Goliath MVP within a year will help close licensing opportunities, for which EU and US premium auto brands are undoubtedly circling. 83p target.

[robertspc1] 07/1/2025 10:08

Added a few to the pension pot. Big year ahead for IKA. I think Cirtec will look to buy the Stereax side of the business as medtech booms in the US and Agratas will take a significant stake in Goliath. Watch this space

[dabblerdale1] 07/1/2025 07:28

Coincidence or not!? Ilika /Agratas

[ivyhedge] 06/1/2025 15:40

I thought about. I read about it. Had another glass of wine, finished off my chocolate orange and bought 20,000 shares to double my holding. Thats what happens when they keep abandoning the racing. Is it a hopeless gamble? its the lowest price ive ever bought or sold these shares at. I think its a good bet but ask me at the end of the tax year if im happy.

[robertspc1] 02/1/2025 21:34

That is almost a positive statement. Are you now a believer

[rogk] 02/1/2025 13:46

Ilika need to get a partner on board or find a licensee to get investors excited again and /or some major breakthrough on the Wh/Kg IMO.

[phil2003] 26/12/2024 17:16

Big Bear Ai up 70% over the last fortnight, Soundhound now +450%
So, thought I’d share Ilika’s energy storage peers, I’ve already chosen my 2025 battery punts.. DYOR

*Adden Energy
*Basquevolt
*Cadenza Innovation
*Enpower Greentech
*FlexEi
*KULR Technology Group
*Powerit
*Innolith

[robertspc1] 17/12/2024 19:24

Management are finally sounding a bit more bullish. I suspect partnership discussions have started

[phil2003] 16/12/2024 20:10

SOUNDHOUND.. +400% since I tipped it, you’re welcome
I say BIG BEAR Ai is the next one to go pop
I don’t have the patience for Ilika’s glacial progress, big news please

[robertspc1] 12/12/2024 20:59

CEO talk at recent Future Battery Forum up on YouTube. Pretty upbeat with some new technical info on Goliath. If only they would get a partner with serious $$$

[supernumerary] 08/12/2024 13:17

Ilika would have a very poor negotiating position in such a discussion...

[robertspc1] 07/12/2024 18:29

Agree Stereax has been a very slow and painful journey towards commercialisation. And inevitably will get bogged down with FDA etc. But if the technology starts getting customer traction then I suspect Cirtec will consider a deal to fully acquire the Stereax IP rather than continue with the current deal. At some point IKA needs $$$ and splitting the business has to be considered

[phil2003] 06/12/2024 21:24

kenjen,
For obvious reasons I can’t mention the company I dealt with the FDA via, but they have considerable clout in the UK.. anyone who describes the FDA as such and says they can speed up the FDA (the MHRA).. is frankly, delusional.. they only dance to their own tune and always to their own timings.

[phil2003] 05/12/2024 16:16

Just wondering if anyone followed my Soundhound tip at $5 in post 5363?

Quite incredible.. market is only now realising the future is ai voice driven… smart drive thrus, just-eat ordering, ai Car interaction (tell your car to turn your washing machine & home heating on, order a pizza from nearest, highest rated pizza shop en route) smart call centres etc etc..

[phil2003] 04/12/2024 22:11

Kenjen,
They don’t need (and won’t have) FDA approval when they showcase the mini battery, it’ll take years from working prototype

[kenjen1] 27/11/2024 09:38

Morning All,

I am a bit stumped with Stereax. How can Cirtec and Ilika showcase the product in Q1 next year as RNS’d without the product being FDA approved?

These are batteries meant for insertion into the human body. Either they have forgotten to request FDA approval (doubt it) or it’s in the bag. Thoughts? does that make sense?

The IONIQ 5 and the Taycan had those charging speeds a few years ago but not quite the range. A few years have passed and both the charging speed and range have improved. The Zeekr 007 has both the range and charging speed that you mentioned and is available now in China and due to arrive here next year, hopefully in the estate version. It bodes well for the future of BEV that that kind of performance can be achieved without solid state so with it we should see the volumetric benefits of solid state come to the fore.
