<li>If they buy back at equal daily weight, 1P and 2PB will be 0.08x and 0.09x ADTV, respectively. On the other hand, Ord and 3PB will be 0.05x and 0.04x.</li>
<li>I would not recommend trading on the possibility that this buyback will lead to a relative outperformance of 1P or 2PB versus Ord. Rather, I would pay attention to Ord.</li>
<li>I see it as a preemptive action to suppress the shareholder approval costs that may arise in consideration of various merger/spin-off scenarios ahead of the corporate restructuring.</li>

However, fuel cells using hydrogen generated from renewables offer a much lower environmental impact across their lifecycle. This sustains investor interest in the hope that system price declines, economies of scale, lower cost of renewable energy generation, and maturation as a business could make FC competitive longer term.
