Monitor regulatory approvals (UK NSIA, TSX) and closing timeline. Post-close, watch for integration updates and GeoPura's revenue contribution to Ballard's hydrogen power solutions segment. The significant dilution and cash outlay may pressure the stock near term, but the strategic expansion into hydrogen power could support longer-term positioning.
