Ceres Power saw its share price increase 140% since mid-April following the release of its 2025 annual report and the presentation of a new solid oxide fuel cell technology that enables power and hydrogen production and is particularly suited for AI data centres. In 2025 revenues fell 37% to £32.6m and adjusted EBITDA worsened to -£32.5m, while net cash declined to £83.3m. The company plans to push commercialization and licensing agreements, has partnerships with Doosan, Weichai Power, Delta Electronics and Shell, and announced cost reductions. Despite optimistic revenue guidance for 2026–2027, the valuation — with an enterprise value of £1.33bn relative to forecasted revenues — remains high, and the stock is considered a speculative bet on the success of the technology. » More on finanzen.net
