ITM Power's Loss Guidance Cut Fuels Two-Day Rally as October Results Loom
Published on 10/10/2026 at 07:11 | Editorial boerse-global.de
Shares of ITM Power advanced for a second straight session, with the hydrogen equipment maker's stock climbing 2.9% to EUR 1.12 on Friday. The move followed a 2.4% gain to EUR 1.11 the previous day, when the stock pushed higher even as the broader market weakened. According to media reports, the company's upgraded full-year guidance has been the driving force behind the rally — not any analyst upgrade or price-target revision.
At the heart of the improved sentiment is a sharply reduced loss forecast. For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2026, ITM Power's management now expects an adjusted EBITDA loss of GBP 20 million to GBP 21 million, down from its previous projection of GBP 27 million to GBP 29 million. That works out to a 27% improvement in the anticipated operating shortfall. Revenue and cash-position guidance were left untouched.
Cash Discipline in Focus
By holding its cash expectations steady while reining in the loss outlook, the British hydrogen specialist gives itself added breathing room in a demanding market environment. The prospect of a smaller cash burn is easing investor concerns about sustained outflows, and attention is shifting toward whether the cost discipline evident in the guidance will hold up once the detailed financials are published.
The stock's longer-term trajectory reflects that optimism: ITM Power shares are up 54% since the start of the year, with one report putting the year-to-date gain at 55%.

Key Dates Set for October
Investors will get their first hard look at the numbers on October 19, when ITM Power releases preliminary results for the fiscal year ended April 30. A presentation for analysts and investors is scheduled for 9:00 a.m. the same day.
The annual general meeting follows on October 30. Shareholders hoping to see the complete 2026 annual report and audited accounts at that gathering will be disappointed — the company has said the full report will instead be presented at a later general meeting still to be announced.
CFO Trust Disposal Flagged as Exceptional Circumstance
ITM Power also disclosed a regulatory filing earlier this month involving the executive suite. A trustee acting for Chief Financial Officer Amy Grey sold 111 ordinary shares on October 1 at GBP 1.0053 per share to cover account administration fees. According to the company's statement, the sale took place without Grey's instruction or knowledge, and it was classified as an exceptional circumstance under UK market abuse regulations.
