Despite some short-term adjustments to revenue forecasts, Panmure Liberum maintained an optimistic outlook for AFC Energy’s future prospects. The broker's revised discounted cash flow (DCF)-derived target price underscores their confidence in the company’s long-term potential. Panmure Liberum's note to clients reflected a positive view on AFC Energy’s expanding market presence and its innovative approach to hydrogen technology.
