Ceres Power Holdings shares (LSE: CWR) plunged 16% on Friday after the fuel cell technology developer warned that 2023 revenue would miss expectations.
The FTSE 250 firm forecast revenue of £20-21 million for 2023, down from £22 million in 2022. Ceres said an expected licensing deal had not materialized in time to be counted in 2023 revenue, despite “good progress.”
