    What Is Aduro Clean Technologies' Investment Narrative?

    For Aduro Clean Technologies, the investment story revolves around whether its Hydrochemolytic Technology can move from promising lab and pilot work to commercially relevant scale. The new US$20,000,000 U.S. public offering is a clear swing at that inflection point, because it directly funds the demonstration-scale plant that many investors likely see as the key short term catalyst. In the near term, that extra capital can ease worries about funding ongoing losses and help Aduro advance collaborations with groups like ECOCE, NexGen and Cleanfarms from paper to real throughput data. At the same time, repeated equity raises and a still tiny revenue base keep dilution and execution risk front and center, especially with the share price already up strongly over the past year.

    However, one near term risk could catch new shareholders off guard if they are not looking closely.

    The valuation report we've compiled suggests that Aduro Clean Technologies' current price could be inflated.
