Nanoco on the cusp of revenue acceleration

Commercial sales are finally beginning to materialise at Nanoco (NANO). Chief executive Michael Edelman admits that he may have been a little optimistic about the time frame for revenue generation from his company’s novel quantum dots – which can be used to emit light using very little – but says that eight of the commercial programmes will begin generating sales in the second half. Indeed, broker Peel Hunt expects revenues in the 2018 financial year (which ends in July) to be roughly six times higher than the £1.3m generated in FY2017.
