  • Ceres Power Surges Past Rolls-Royce, Nvidia, BP in FTSE 250 Rally
    April 29, 2026, 9:27 AM EDT. Ceres Power (LSE:CWR) leads the FTSE 250 stock gains in 2026 with a staggering 176% rise year-to-date, far outpacing Rolls-Royce, Nvidia and BP. The clean energy tech firm, specializing in licensing advanced solid oxide fuel cell and hydrogen technology, posted a remarkable 933% gain over the last year. Despite declining revenues - £32.6 million in 2025 down from £51.9 million the previous year - and no expected profits in 2026 or 2027, investor enthusiasm is fueled by the AI-driven data center boom. Its recent collaboration with Centrica aims to deploy efficient on-site power solutions swiftly for AI hubs and logistics centers. This positions Ceres as a crucial 'picks and shovels' provider amid the AI energy surge. However, over five years, the stock remains down 55%, prompting debate on its current valuation.
