Tommi Saarinen

Betolar is a pioneering materials technology company focusing on turning industrial side streams into value. Betolar offers continuous competitive edge to the construction industry and enable the transition towards a sustainable built environment - socially, environmentally and economically.

Betolar updated its targets:                   Inderes              Betolar päivitti liiketoiminnalliset ja taloudelliset tavoitteensa - Inderes    Päivitetyt tavoitteet heijastelevat yhtiön strategista painopistettä metallinerotteluteknologian kaupallistamisessa.                              And now (again) financial targets have been pushed forward. Profitability was again postponed. The billion-euro revenue target in its previous form has now been removed from the targets. This is increasingly becoming a “hope for the best” company, requiring faith that continuously failed forecasts are now history and new targets will be achieved. In principle, there’s a lot of potential, but the continuous postponement of larger financial achievements into the distant future is not a good sign. Investors are now relying on the new targets, but how realistic are they, given that targets have constantly been pushed back until now?

Hi, yesterday’s announcement does not mean Betolar’s delisting from First North, but rather bringing the share for trading also in the United States. Trading would henceforth take place concurrently on two markets: First North in euros and the OTCQX marketplace in dollars. This marketplace is specifically aimed at US investors for whom direct investment in Helsinki is difficult, so this does not require any action from Finnish investors. The listing itself also does not mean raising new capital, but the move raises the company’s profile in the United States. I expect Betolar to need additional equity financing, but I still consider it likely that any potential financing will ultimately be sought from the Nordics.

Considering that the company’s realized revenue is in the hundreds of thousands of euros, the company certainly has a very ambitious and international attitude towards things. The website is made to be top-notch, and now a parallel listing in the United States… Their actions are like those of an even larger listed company. Now, explosive growth is simply needed; the targets are really high, but the track record is still a bit lacking (in 2026, according to the original targets, the company should have a revenue of 200 million, and according to current targets, a billion by 2033). In my opinion, setting huge targets is a bit problematic from an investor’s perspective when the track record for achieving them is weak. It makes the company a bit like a lottery ticket type of investment; we’re talking about hundreds of millions and a billion, but currently, we are in the hundreds of thousands. Of course, the targets have now been updated, but still, a bit of realism is needed regarding what is actually possible and what is not. I’m not criticizing growth per se; it’s good that Finland has growth-oriented companies. But when listing on the stock exchange, the rhetoric and actions should be more realistic than what is discussed in the startup world.

From Betolar’s website: “The aim of the planned OTCQX listing is to improve the share’s valuation and liquidity and expand the ownership base by offering US investors an easy, dollar-denominated, and cost-effective way to invest in the company, which is listed on the Nasdaq First North Growth Market Finland market.” Therefore, to my best knowledge, I believe that this listing concerns US investors and its position on Nasdaq First North Growth Market Finland remains unchanged. Please correct me if I am wrong about this. Betolar Applies for Its Shares to Be Admitted to Trading on the US OTCQX Market

@Tommi_Saarinen Could Tommi comment on this latest announcement from Betolar and that question from member @jopa?

Does this mean that Betolar will delist from the First North marketplace? Will Betolar’s shares have to be traded in dollars in the future?

Betolar shares may soon be traded in the United States Betolar announced it is seeking to list its shares on the U.S. OTC market.

On Friday, Betolar published its Q3 business review where the main lines met our expectations. So far, the business model has not proven its viability in the Concrete products segment, and our forecasts are increasingly based on the company’s other, earlier-stage customer segments.

<p>On Friday, Betolar published its Q3 business review where the main lines met our expectations. So far, the business model has not proven its viability in the Concrete products segment, and our forecasts are increasingly based on the company’s other, earlier-stage customer segments. Due to the risk level that remains high and other attractive options offered by the stock exchange, we remain on the sidelines when it comes to Betolar's share.</p>
