According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GB:AMP is a Neutral.

The overall stock score is primarily influenced by the company’s strong technical momentum and positive corporate events, which are offset by significant financial challenges and poor valuation metrics. The strategic growth in battery storage projects and positive market sentiment provide a promising outlook, but financial instability remains a critical risk.
