Bear-case history
Risks carried through the record.
high
Warrant conversion uncertainty
Management could not provide clarity on warrant conversion status, indicating potential dilution risk.
Slow ramp-up of new capacity
New 16,000-tonne plant utilized only ~10% in Q2; full ramp-up may take longer than expected.
Working capital pressure from inventory buildup
Working capital cycle increased to 79 days (85 days for CCT) due to global logistics disruptions and raw material shortages, which could strain cash flows.
Global logistics and raw material cost volatility
Management acknowledged container shortages and freight cost increases, which may impact margins if not fully passed through.
Integration and execution risk in CCT scale-up
Rapid capacity expansion and technology transfer to CCT may face operational hiccups, though management is confident.
Dependence on US oilfield market conditions
CCT's growth is tied to US oil and gas activity; any downturn in drilling or regulatory changes could impact demand.
