Light Science Technologies Holdings plc ( (GB:LST) ) has issued an update.
Light Science Technologies Holdings has secured an approximately £300,000 contract, plus an expected annual £19,000 maintenance package, to refurbish a Welsh university glasshouse into a 29-zone, state-of-the-art research facility with advanced lighting, climate control and irrigation, with revenue to be recognised this financial year. The deal expands the Group’s university research footprint, strengthens its position in sustainable AgTech as it converts a roughly £35 million pipeline, and follows an upgraded Nottingham Trent University vertical farming project now expected to generate about £600,000, contributing to a wider £57 million pipeline across all divisions.
Management framed the wins against rising global concern over food security, highlighting how its technology can help growers cut costs and boost yields as markets move from just-in-time imports to more resilient local production. The growing traction in university and commercial projects underlines Light Science Technologies’ strategy to build scale in controlled-environment agriculture and reinforces its positioning at the intersection of food security, climate-focused farming and technology-led efficiency gains.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:LST) stock is a Hold with a £4.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Light Science Technologies Holdings plc stock, see the GB:LST Stock Forecast page.
