Yeah odd how all the "it's $5 on the NY market" people have slinked off.
Probably realised they could force the price upwards quite far on low volumes and not much outlay.

ST traders and retail investors taking profits after big rise. LT story remains intact and coverage should bring IKA to the attention of new institutions which don't or can't invest in small caps below £100m

The Americans want your shares, don’t sell.

Big order being filled again here

[shstt1] 29/12/2020 13:39

At least you admit it

QS might have to buy IKA to obtain the patents covering the vapour deposition processes used in solid state batteries on the cheap. For a 45bn company,....or A.N.OTHER... a few billion should be a snip


.....kind of underpins the current mkt cap of £c345m dont you think?

I see our old friend is ruffling some feathers on the tool thread. 😂

US opening gonna blow the doors off!

'Fraid Ilika's vapour deposition is irrelevent to large batteries.
Their screen printing tech might be, though:)

Graeme Purdy told us, “Well, if you look at the roadmap of some of our competition, they are not dissimilar to the ones that we’ve been publicising and talking to partners about so in terms of the availability of our Goliath prototypes for evaluation, we’re very much on the same track.

Well the point about this statement is there is nothing noted, presented or even hinted about their results! The QS results were significantly better than anything achieved before in the the area of SSB..

The respective roadmaps of each company in terms of scale is neither here nor there. To me at least! I note that they have backing so there must be some results of note!

Might sell a few shares on the day of the ribbon cutting ceremony in a few years :0)

QuantumScape $3.3 billion IPO, can Ilika plc’s Goliath compete?




DirectorsTalk caught up with Graeme Purdy CEO of Ilika plc (LON:IKA) to ask if its Goliath solid-state batteries can compete with such well-funded competition.

Graeme Purdy told us, “Well, if you look at the roadmap of some of our competition, they are not dissimilar to the ones that we’ve been publicising and talking to partners about so in terms of the availability of our Goliath prototypes for evaluation, we’re very much on the same track.

One of the reasons for QuantumScape’s large, planned IPO is that actually they’re planning to build their own, let’s call it a ‘Gigafactory’ with the capacity to be able to manufacture those batteries. So, rule of thumb is that these plants cost between half a billion US to 750 million US per gigawatt hour, so they’re big investments. That’s part of the reason why QuantumScape are raising such a large amount of capital in order to fund that.

We’ve chosen a different route in that we will be going through the UKs national facility, the UKBIC, as the first step and then scaling up through a JV with an existing cell manufacturing company to get to the gigawatt scale.

So, we haven’t quite got the same demands for capital investment and I believe that we’ve got a very skilled, perfectly formed, development team in our organisation and we’ve made great progress over the last six months and expect further progress going forward.”

Ilika plc is a pioneer in a ground-breaking solid state battery technology able to meet the specific demands of a wide range of applications in MedTech, Industrial IoT, Electric Vehicles and Consumer Electronics.

Why are you talking rubbish Rogk, IKA has many patents for their battery technology. Do some proper research.

[officerdigby] 29/12/2020 12:20

IS there any IKA technical performance results on their batteries.?

QS revelled some exciting cycling results at pouch scale level a few weeks ago. That was a significant advance on the SOA. That indicated that SSB might actually work in the car market.

Can't see any thing on the IKA side apart from Graeme's quote from a while back.

Perhaps, this surge is driven by hype from US since QS results.?

[shstt1] 29/12/2020 11:49

👍 Yes I think quite possible

[jjmills56] 29/12/2020 11:42

Earlier today you talked of a $5 share price and I agreed in follow up text .

[shstt1] 29/12/2020 11:38

Sounds like it, reckon u sold before the main event. The Americans will own this co before long. Trading volumes are already much greater there.

[jjmills56] 29/12/2020 11:36

For the record I am a holder and positive on the company it's ceo and it's prospects .

[jjmills56] 29/12/2020 11:34

???? Rns today has referred to two previous RNS statements and added nothing new today .

[shstt1] 29/12/2020 11:31

jj that is not what they say, I read that as we know why it’s rising and we know it’s undervalued
