This firm develops materials like graphene which are used by various industries including the technology sector.
Ooh graphene! The wonder material made from pencils and sticky tape! Although itβs purported to be useful in most βthingsβ (from better electronics to filtering out the colour from whiskey).
if cost of production decreases and mainstream use increases, could potentially be good long term investment?
Who are the other companies producing graphene and what do people generally feel about itβs long term viability?
Iβd ask where the market is first and foremost.
Are there too many players looking to enter the market early? Youβd prefer someone to enter the market when itβs mature enough to start generating returns. Itβs not clear how long this might be, if ever.
Assuming the product cost, for unclear uses, is higher than existing cost. Whatβs the incentive to switch to graphene? Ideally you want it to be 10x better than what currently exists to generate significant returns and forecast positive future cash flow.
It all seems a bit too fuzzy for me at the moment.
This could definitely be a good stock to get in on early as its looking like this will be the route most battery tech could be heading. It should allow for smaller more compact batteries that can also hold more charge and actually be charged faster than conventional Lithium-Ion. I remember reading articles about graphene ages ago (Iβm based in the tech industry/world so constantly read up about items like this).
Versarien has taken a pretty nasty hit this year? Is this anyoneβs entry point or is it due to fall more?
Is this a close your eyes and hold your nose type of investment?
So I have held VRS for 18 months and yes it is a speculative stock. Thereβs little doubt graphene could develop into a huge industry and VRS have built extensive links to key actors in the industry. Whether they convert this into solid results is yet to be confirmed, hence the wild swings.
I do know an early days significant shareholder who went in @ 0.007Β£ though and heβs still delighted as you can imagine!
I hope he sold out at Β£1.5β¦
Looking forward!
Thereβs been some news regarding ceo recruitment and business development which has seen the shares climb to 52p off a low of 25p.
Even better news, the shares have rebounded to 68-70p.
Aviation could have a big benefit this technology and to be fair all transport could benefit especially with the EV market
