Rating:52Neutral
Price Target:
24.00 p
▲(4.35% Upside)
Action:Reiterated
Date:07/24/26
The score is held back primarily by weak financial performance (persistent net losses, declining revenue, and worsening free cash flow) and an unattractive negative P/E. These are partially offset by strong technical momentum, with the stock trading above all key moving averages and positive MACD.
Positive Factors
Operating cash generation
Consistent positive operating cash flow provides a durable liquidity buffer that supports ongoing field operations, maintenance and regulatory obligations. Over the next several months this underpins operational continuity and reduces short-term refinancing needs despite accounting losses.
Negative Factors
Revenue and profitability trend
Prolonged revenue decline coupled with annual net losses erodes retained earnings and limits the company's ability to reinvest. Persistent unprofitability pressures margins and forces management to focus on survival and cash preservation rather than growth over the next several quarters.
