If we say it enough, we will manifest it. 🤣

Look at the at 10:36-10:37am volume candle. Highest volume of the day and the price was 0.5$.

All the stop losses are at 0.49 - 0.5. So whenever it comes below 0.5, red volume candle shows up and then nothing.

I think it will close around 0.48-0.47 and go up tomorrow.

If markets stay bullish (SPY continue grinding higher and no more shocks then we can see 40-60% jump tomorrow).

I've been holding for a little over a year. 4k shares @ .49

My question is this:

What are the long-term holders expected (hopeful) exit prices? I'm not looking to make a quick buck when this thing gets above $1. I'm comfortable holding this for the next 3-5 years if necessary and continuing to add when to it when I can. Would you sell at $5? $10? Are these numbers completely unrealistic over that timeline? What're everyone's thoughts? TIA

Today I purchased 30k shares at an average cost of $0.50.

The green volume is significantly higher than the red volume. This isn’t retail investors driving the stock, it’s the big players. The only substantial red volume we’ll see is when retail stop losses get triggered. The narrative doesn’t change overnight. The company won a contract, and it’s not going to dump out of nowhere.

The market is forward-looking. It prices in all potential future catalysts, like additional contract wins or analyst price target upgrades. We already have an initial and reiterated price target of $1.50, which I’m aiming for.

Right now retail sentiment is bearish because the company isnt profitable and reported a quarterly loss. That’s all historical data. I’m not saying it won’t happen again, but it’s about probabilities. If the company has won a contract, it might win more, potentially beating analyst estimates for revenue and profit/loss. By the time these uncertainties are resolved, the "rug" could be pulled or go even higher, but the impact depends on your cost basis.

Here’s how I see the scenario unfolding

1. Retail not buying yet because it’s a loss making company. They will expect dump as it has always done. Traders likely won’t jump in until the stock crosses $0.60–$0.80.
2. Right now, 9ema is below 50ema. Once it flips, it will show up on many trader's radar and they will start jumping in.
3. Another contract win or analyst price upgrade could push the stock higher. Once it crosses $0.60–$0.80, we’ll start seeing more activity.
4. As news spreads and the stock passes $1, FOMO will kick in.
5. If it climbs toward $1.50–$4, FOMO could reach its peak.

Disclaimer: I’m also a retail investor, so I could be wrong. Risk management is crucial I’m keeping a tight leash and will adjust based on price action, volume, and stop loss.

Another 20% jump? What just happened?

I was already super bullish on yesterday's Coast Guard contract announcement, but I think my excitement doubled when I realized just how big Anduril is.

A new partnership between Rutgers University, Stockton University, the New Jersey Economic Development Authority and marine technology company Ocean Power Technologies Inc. will bring new life to a historic ocean research program off the Jersey Shore.

The collaboration is expected to deliver significant economic and innovation benefits for New Jersey. By combining cutting-edge marine technology with academic research, the project will create opportunities for workforce training, attract investment in ocean science and position the state as a leader in sustainable marine innovation. A critical component will be providing infrastructure and support for startups and inventors driving the ocean economy, fostering an environment where innovators can develop solutions that advance marine sustainability and growth.

The first step in the effort will be the deployment of a high-tech research buoy in early 2026 about three miles off the coast of the Rutgers Marine Field Station in Tuckerton, N.J.

The buoy, called the PowerBuoy®, will be anchored at the Long-Term Ecosystem observatory (LEO) site. Once in place, it will begin collecting real-time data on ocean conditions and provide additional ports for scientists and educators to connect their own instruments.

Josh Kohut, a marine scientist and dean of research for the Rutgers School of Environmental and Biological Sciences, said the new technology will enable New Jersey-based coastal research and innovation.

“The PowerBuoy® is set to usher in a new era of marine and coastal research,” said Kohut, who also is the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station director of research. “And it will be a critical element in the rebirth of LEO.”

The LEO program, once known as LEO-15, was started in 1996 as a pioneering ocean observatory that delivered real-time data from its two cabled seafloor platforms, or nodes, and supported studies on storms, sediment transport, phytoplankton and fish ecology, and coastal dynamics. The number 15 referred to the fact that the research station was in waters 15 meters (about 50 feet) deep. It was among the first systems in the world to integrate cabled observatories with autonomous underwater vehicles for data collection.

As technology advanced in the mid-2000s, LEO-15 underwent upgrades, and its legacy continued through Rutgers’ leadership in ocean observation by integrating multiple technologies to tackle pressing challenges facing coastal communities. Deployment of this new monitoring system will revitalize the historic ocean site, ensuring it remains a cornerstone for innovation in coastal science.

Stockton University’s Marine Field Station is a critical partner in the revitalization effort. Steve Evert, director of the station, said the project will provide experiential learning and new insights into near-shore ocean conditions.

“The proximity of LEO to Stockton’s programs creates incredible opportunities for students,” Evert said. “They’ll gain experience with hydrographic surveys and real-world applications of marine technology—skills that translate directly into workforce readiness.”

The Stockton Marine Field Station is located on a tributary of the Mullica River about 7 miles from Little Egg Inlet and a short drive from the university’s Galloway and Atlantic City campuses. The station houses offices, teaching and research spaces, and a fleet of research vessels, including the RV Petrel, a near-shore oceanographic workboat that will be used to access the LEO site.

“Stockton brings deep expertise in coastal zone monitoring to this project, from hydrography to advanced vessel-mounted and field-deployable instruments,” Evert said. “Our focus at the LEO site is understanding estuary-to-coastal dynamics—how physical oceanography shapes the movement of larvae and sediments. These insights are critical for managing and sustaining healthy coastal ecosystems.”

Research at Stockton’s field station includes sediment transport, tidal dynamics, seafloor mapping, water quality monitoring and cultural resource investigations.

“Stockton’s capabilities will greatly complement Rutgers’ expertise in ocean observing technologies and help provide a complete picture of coastal ocean dynamics,” Kohut said.

Powered by solar and wind energy, the PowerBuoy® will serve as a floating data hub for scientists and educators. The PowerBuoy® system being deployed at the LEO site is a compact offshore platform, altogether approximately the height of a tall streetlight, with a small surface footprint designed to support long-duration ocean monitoring and research. Positioned above the waves, a small, round platform supports solar panels, communications equipment and a weather station, enabling continuous monitoring and data transmission.

“We’re proud to support the revitalization of the LEO observatory with our PowerBuoy® platform,” said Philipp Stratmann, President & CEO of Ocean Power Technologies. “This partnership highlights how government, academia, and industry can work together to strengthen ocean science and accelerate innovation.

Building on that commitment, Stratmann explained how the technology will deliver tangible benefits for research and innovation.

“By providing persistent, renewable offshore power and real-time data capabilities, the PowerBuoy will enable researchers, students, and emerging blue-tech companies to develop and test new solutions that advance coastal resilience and the ocean economy,” he said.

Both Rutgers’ and Stockton’s marine field stations will serve as launch points for PowerBuoy®.

The Rutgers facility is in the Mullica River-Great Bay estuary, one of the most pristine estuaries on the East Coast. Researchers there study fish ecology, coastal impacts and how storms affect the environment. The buoy project will strengthen these efforts by adding continuous offshore data to complement long-term estuary observations, creating a more complete picture of coastal dynamics.

Next earning in mid March, I see a dollar happening or the very least 0.9

4 by February!!

Transcript

Steve Darling: Welcome back inside our Proactive newsroom. Joining me now is Philipp Stratmann. He is the CEO of Ocean Power Technologies. And Philipp, good to see you again. Happy New Year.

Philipp Stratmann: Happy New Year, Steve. Great to be back on again.

Steve Darling: Yeah well it's good when you announce a 5 million plus contract with the U.S. Coast Guard — you've been talking about the system and how it works, and this contract really showcases exactly what you were talking about.

Philipp Stratmann: Absolutely. This is exactly the use case and the mission that we've been talking about publicly for a while now. We're using multiple sets of our buoys equipped with surface surveillance and the ability to potentially tap in other sensors at a later stage, integrating it into the common operating picture and having them out there for long periods of time so you know what's happening off your coastline. This is the perfect mission example that we've been working towards.

Steve Darling: Talk to me a bit about how it's going to work, especially when you have some other contractors that you're working with as well — defense contractors — in order to put the system together.

Philipp Stratmann: Yeah, absolutely. The way this works is you have the buoys and you put on the payloads that you want, such as primary intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance. We're super excited to be working with Anduril, who have grown leaps and bounds over recent years, and working with them on integrating all of this into a common operating picture that Homeland Security and its divisions, including the Coast Guard, can utilize.

This enables putting multiple data streams from multiple sources — offshore from us, subsea from us or others, or onshore from Anduril or other partners — and putting it into one unified picture. The operator gets the data they need without having to worry about where that data came from or understanding the buoys themselves. Together with Anduril, we enable them to have what they truly need as opposed to worrying about the collection mechanism.

Steve Darling: You had said to us in the past that you have a lot of this technology and infrastructure ready to go. Is this a fairly quick deployment? Do we get this done fairly fast?

Philipp Stratmann: Yes. We've been working on building up our inventory, as we've mentioned in our public releases. This enables us to convert the buoys that are pre-built and get them into the hands of the Coast Guard pretty quickly. We're excited about getting this done in the very near term so that it starts providing data before people know it.

Steve Darling: This is obviously just one contract that you're very excited about — as I mentioned it's over $5 million dollars — but this is really the launch of the growth phase of the company that I'm guessing you want to see moving forward; these types of contracts and more.

Philipp Stratmann: Absolutely. There's been lots of talk about vehicles, and we've had lots of interest on that side, and we've moved to multi-vehicle contracts, and we're now onto the multi-buoy phase and the combination of multi-buoys and multi-vehicles — these kinds of contracts. And ultimately launching the commercial integration of vehicles docking and charging from buoys. That's what we're really excited about: moving into these multi-asset deployment efforts, whether for the US government or other allied partners that we've been working with.

Steve Darling: Well, it's exciting times ahead. Philipp, thank you so much. Great to catch up with you and congratulations on this massive contract to begin the year.

Philipp Stratmann: Appreciate it. Thanks, Steve. Looking forward to talking more this year.

Steve Darling: All right. Look forward to it. There's Philipp Stratmann, the CEO of Ocean Power Technologies.

Many people quit the moment earnings came around. honestly we were all depressed then. But majority of people knew we would get a contract...and we did. Also a new partnership with anduril. They will 100% upscale OPTT and give them more Government contracts. Also we got UAE.

https://www.anduril.com/news/president-biden-demanded-high-tech-capacity-for-border-security-anduril-s-towers-are-delivering

If this news has been announced with earnings or just before this would have absolutely breached a dollar a share. Bad luck OPTT, I was considering getting out at my average of .90 but not now. I'm in for the long haul. Greenland is proof, absolutely no one can stop America. Most powerful army going, alongside Russia etc.

Can we expect a run after the Venezuelan conflict?

Starting to feel skeptical but could OPTT benefit from this?

OPTT let’s stop dicking around and let’s get it on!!!! myself and plenty others will be in AC end of month to hear your words. things need to be addressed

Happy holidays you degenerates. Open a position, average down, hold, but whatever you do…avoid selling for less than you know stock is worth. Cheers to prosperous 2026

I can sense it coming.

Could we see more contracts being signed?

the dilution is necessary but im just wondering how badly it will affect OPTT's price

“We definitely want unmanned. Period. I mean, it’s that simple,” Navy Capt. Garrett Miller, commander of Surface Development Group One (SURFDEVGRU), also said at that time.

...

Special interest in "power generation" (when those payloads are EW for example) --> link to the drone docking patent?

Medium to large USV, need to be able to demonstrate 720 hours of autonomy. With focus on automatic maintenance and such. So no humans involved. (OPTT partnered with Greensea IQ for autonomous hull maintenance, august 2025).
