So glad to see British tech like $RPI get some love: +21.1% today after releasing H1 2026 earnings note: -> H1 EBITDA: $38M (+96% YoY) -> FY EBITDA forecast was $43.7M - so well on track to beat that. Key driver is $RPI were holding 2025 DRAM inventory, purchased at low

🐂 Bull Case
  • H1 EBITDA $38M (+96% YoY) — operating leverage inflection point; FY forecast $43.7M well within reach
  • Carrying 2025 DRAM inventory at low cost → direct beneficiary of memory inflation (same dynamic as MU/SNDK)
  • Raspberry Pi 5 product cycle still early — consumer/SBC demand secular, industrial IoT pipeline expanding
🐻 Bear Case
  • Small UK tech stock (mkt cap ~$2B) — limited liquidity, large bid-ask spreads on LSE
  • Component cost normalization eventually reverses the inventory windfall in 2H 2026
  • Concentrated product line — single-board computer market niche, lack of diversification
