Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 37% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published October 12, 2025
Good business with a careful entry plan. Short-term momentum looks calm, so buy in small steps rather than all at once. Recent news shows strong sales and a 317 percent jump in profits per share (10-09). A risk is that clean-energy grants may be reduced (10-08), which could slow orders. Over the next 0-3 months, demand and firm pricing could lift the stock, but the funding risk means using clear exit points is important.
Primary drivers
- Price appears near a turning point, so staged buying looks more sensible now
- Sales and profit per share showed strength in the 10-09 company update
- Move toward electric buses improves product mix and profit per vehicle
- Potential cuts to clean-energy grants were noted in the 10-08 news
