Ocean Power Technologies Inc

Ocean Power Technologies Inc

Ocean Power Technologies Inc (ticker: OPTT) develops wave-energy conversion systems designed to turn ocean wave motion into electricity. Its PowerBuoy platform is aimed at supplying renewable power to offshore installations, remote facilities and grid-connected projects through pilot deployments and partnerships with utilities, governments and industrial operators. With a market capitalisation near $95m, OPTT is a small-cap, development-stage company: revenues have tended to be modest and the business often relies on project funding, grants and partner agreements to advance commercialisation. Potential attractions include exposure to marine renewables and decarbonisation trends, while key risks are technology execution, lengthy permitting, capital intensity and variable project timelines. Investors should expect significant volatility and the possibility of additional funding needs.
