Ensilica PLC ( (GB:ENSI) ) has shared an announcement.
EnSilica has raised approximately £9.7 million gross through a significantly oversubscribed equity placing and subscription at 47 pence per share, targeting both new and existing institutional investors. The fundraising is split into two tranches due to limited existing share issuance authorities, with the first tranche of 9.66 million shares expected to admit to AIM on or around 17 March 2026 and the second tranche subject to shareholder approval at a 7 April 2026 general meeting.
Net proceeds will be used to accelerate new products, projects and the company’s expanding contract pipeline, supporting EnSilica’s growth strategy in its specialist chip markets. A separate retail offer via the BookBuild platform is planned to run until 17 March 2026, while director participation from the CFO and resulting dilution of the CEO’s holding underline governance transparency as the company broadens its shareholder base and increases total voting rights to over 106 million shares after first admission.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:ENSI) stock is a Hold with a £46.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Ensilica PLC stock, see the GB:ENSI Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on GB:ENSI Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GB:ENSI is a Neutral.
The score is held back primarily by weak financial performance—declining revenue, ongoing losses, and sharply deteriorating free cash flow—despite a reasonably leveraged balance sheet. Technicals are a key offset, showing strong upside momentum with the price well above major moving averages, though indicators are nearing stretched levels. Valuation is also a drag because the company is loss-making (negative P/E) and no dividend yield is available.
