UBS nearly doubles Ceres Power target to 970p as data centre demand drives royalty surge

Shares in Ceres Power Holdings PLC (LSE:CWR, OTC:CPWHF), the clean energy technology group, jumped 17% to 779.3p on Friday after UBS raised its price target to 970p from 570p, citing a dramatic increase in expected royalty income from manufacturing partners. The investment bank, which reiterated its buy rating, said it had increased its forecast for cumulative solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) shipments by 60% to 1.8 gigawatts by 2030, delivering royalties of more than £100 million that year alone.
