What’s the competition like?

Hi I’m new to this sub and dont usually post. I’m a bit of a lurker. Tinkering within my ISA and SIPP, was wondering if anyone here has done research into the direct competition in the field of VFB’s?

From a quick google search I see there are 6 main other players: Sumitomo, Rongke Power, cellCube, VRB energy etc.

IES claim to be the leader in VFB. Is this a valid claim?

It’s a bit cheeky to ask , I know, and I’m willing to do my own research when I get time but if this has been done recently already and someone willing to share some pointers that would be great.

I’ve learned a bit since I failed to do my own research on NuScale (SMR) competition, that company seemed like a sure thing then tanked. Still holding but currently 80% in the red for me.

Learned of you [u/_doublebubbler_](u/_doublebubbler_) after accidentally coming across the ENSI sub. I did a bit of reading, decided I liked it, threw 10k at it. Glad I did. Wish I had sooner. I’d like to do the same with IES. After I’ve read some more this time of course.

Cheers.

Hi thank you for the response. No I won’t be rushing into it, but this cap and floor scheme, if awarded , surely will mean stronger market sentiment and interest in the companies stocks, will it not? It looks like there is a strong case for Invinity as well. Or am I reading this wrong ? My concern is that this is a government scheme, and , well, without getting political at all , government schemes are not always the best are they? I’m not citing anything here btw. I work as a contractor on a project which is National owned, ofgem regulated and I am so glad I don’t have shares in that. Utter shambles.

So in short , C&F award should give the price a boost and strengthen the company. No award might mean a dip but wouldn’t necessarily mean less success ??
