Nanoco disappoints sales hopes

Another disappointing trading update has sent the group’s shares down more than 8 per cent
August 15, 2018

Investors hoping to see a substantial increase in revenues at Nanoco (NANO) in upcoming final results have been sadly disappointed. The shares remained unmoved at 43p as the quantum dot specialist has revealed that commercial sales are still an evasive target and revenues in the year to July 2018 will only be £3.3m – well below broker Peel Hunt’s £7.5m target.

IC TIP: Buy at 43p

Still, it’s not all bad news. The group has signed some impressive partnership agreements in the past 12 months and its newly expanded Runcorn manufacturing facility should start delivering commercial sales in the final quarter of 2018. Substantial revenues aren’t expected until the end of 2019.
