Hi smooth,
AI is going to be fantastic but at the moment you need to check its homework..
It is off by 400,000,000 shares or there abouts.

Up date thanks FJ.215.....this is the new reality
To determine the share price, we divide the total company valuation by the number of outstanding shares.
According to www.iAsk.Ai - Ask AI:
Given: Company Valuation = $20 billion Number of Shares = 2.36 billion shares
The formula for share price is: Share Price = Company ValuationNumber of Shares
Substituting the given values: Share Price = $20,000,000,0002,360,000,000shares
Share Price = $8.47 per share (approximately)
Roughly the breakdown prices
20 billion = $8.48
10 billion = $ 4.24
5 billion = $ 2.12
2.5 billion = $1.6
1.25 billion = 53 cents
620 million = 27 cents
310 million = 14 cents

Little dated but just came up while I was doing some googling. Searched name on TSE but didn't pop up.
This guy is Arizona State Uni doing his Masters and a summer intern at Coherent - semiconductor manufacturer.
Likes Akida 2.0 which I presume the access may have been through Arizona. State / BRN relationship and offers some practical thoughts.

Recently discovered BrainChip’s Akida 2.0 neuromorphic chip and I’m blown away! Here’s the quick rundown—and the challenges we need to tackle: Why Akida Rocks Brain-Inspired Efficiency: Spiking Neural Networks for ultra-low power. One-Shot Learning: Instantly train new classes on-device with minimal data. Edge-First: Keep data local, slash latency, and reduce cloud dependency. Downsides & Next Steps Quantization Accuracy Short Term: Improve SNN conversion tools. Mid Term: Hybrid (SNN + CNN) layers for balanced performance. Limited Ecosystem Short Term: More tutorials & dev support. Mid Term: University programs & hackathons to grow the community. Complex Training Short Term: Enhance MetaTF integration. Mid Term: Native SNN modules in major frameworks. Manufacturing Costs Short Term: Optimize tile designs to fit more dies. Long Term: Explore 3D stacking & advanced nodes carefully. Why It Matters Akida’s approach offers sustainable, low-latency AI as Moore’s Law slows. Specialized hardware might be the future for edge devices craving real-time performance. Why Isn’t It Mainstream Yet? Niche Focus: Most AI devs still rely on GPUs and conventional frameworks. Ecosystem: Neuromorphic tools are expanding, but not yet at GPU scale. Early Market: As edge AI and efficiency needs grow, Akida’s approach could see broader adoption. Let’s Connect Interested in one-shot learning or edge AI? I am also looking for more discussions and understanding about SNN conversions. Tag someone exploring hardware or sustainable AI!

Andes Technology (ANDES) sells a wide
range of processor IP solutions, which are then used by other companies to create their own specific microcontrollers (MCUs). Andes does not typically sell finished, off-the-shelf MCUs directly to end-users; instead, its business model is licensing its CPU cores to other chip manufacturers (such as Renesas, MediaTek, and GigaDevice) who then design and sell the final System-on-Chips (SoCs) and MCUs.
As a result, there is no single, fixed number of "Andes MCUs" on the market. Instead, the number is defined by the cumulative volume of embedded SoCs (including MCUs) that customers have shipped using Andes' technology:

Seriously hoping Chatty’s hallucination engine has completely underestimated this one.
It says " today, the market-clearing outcome is most likely" $550-600 million dollars or 24 - 26 cents per share.
It also gave a "high-conviction" acquisition price range at $780 million – $1 billion dollars which translates to 35 - 44 cents per share, but this is based on the assumption of something material landing that shifts it from “interesting tech” to “must-own IP”.
Best case valuation it gave was 1.18 billion or 53 cents a share.

You said:
What do you believe would be a plausible acquisition price range currently for BrainChip for a strategic buyer such as Qualcomm, for example.ChatGPT said:
A plausible acquisition price range for BrainChip (BRN) by a strategic buyer like Qualcomm is best thought of as:(today’s market cap) × (a takeover premium)
Because BrainChip’s current revenue is tiny relative to its valuation, any real bid would be strategic/IP-driven (team + patents + neuromorphic know-how + “option value”), not conventional EBIT/revenue multiple.
Anchor: BrainChip’s current market value
Recent quotes put BRN around ~A$380m market cap (e.g., ~A$0.17/share). Listcorp(That number moves daily, so treat it as an anchor, not a constant.)
Typical takeover premium
For Australian public M&A, control premiums commonly land around ~30–50% (often more in hotter/contested deals). Norton Rose Fulbright+2Corrs Chambers Westgarth+2What that implies in dollars (using ~A$380m as the base)
Base-case strategic takeout (most common): 1.3× to 1.8× market cap- ~A$500m to ~A$700m
- ~A$760m to ~A$950m
- ~A$1.1b+
This can happen, but usually needs a clear trigger (major design win, credible pipeline converting, or a buyer believing the tech meaningfully shifts a big roadmap).
Why Qualcomm (or similar) might pay toward the higher end
- They’ve shown willingness to buy strategic silicon/IP capability (e.g., NUVIA was US$1.4B). Qualcomm
- They’re actively expanding into AI compute + data-center adjacent IP (e.g., Alphawave Semi deal reported around US$2.4B). Investopedia+2Yahoo Finance+2
Those aren’t direct comps to BrainChip, but they confirm Qualcomm will pay real money for “missing pieces” in a platform strategy.
The big reality check
BrainChip’s cash position and burn matter because a buyer can always “wait them out” if there’s no near-term catalyst (cash balance figures are disclosed in quarterly/4C reporting). Intelligent Investor+1That dynamic tends to cap premiums unless BrainChip has unmistakable momentum.
My best “plausible” range (today)
If you forced me to give a single practical band that wouldn’t sound ridiculous to either side:~A$550m to ~A$950m (roughly 1.4× to 2.5× the ~A$380m anchor). Listcorp+2Norton Rose Fulbright+2
If you tell me BRN’s current share price/market cap today (or your own anchor), I’ll re-run the same logic and give you a tighter band in both AUD and USD.

Market cap is 394 million and share price is .175 centsChatGPT said:
Perfect — let’s lock it down with your numbers.Inputs (confirmed):
- Market cap: A$394m
- Share price: A$0.175
Standard strategic takeover range (most plausible)
30–50% control premium is very typical for Australian listed tech when there’s no bidding war.| Premium | Equity Value | Implied Share Price |
|---|---|---|
| +30% | A$512m | ~A$0.228 |
| +40% | A$552m | ~A$0.245 |
| +50% | A$591m | ~A$0.263 |
Verdict
A$510m – A$590m ~$0.23 – $0.26 per shareThis is the most likely range today if Qualcomm (or similar) decided “we want the IP, the team, and to remove uncertainty”.
High-conviction / urgency scenario (credible catalyst present)
This assumes something material has landed, e.g.:- meaningful design win,
- visible licence revenue inflection,
- strategic defence / automotive validation,
- or Qualcomm sees neuromorphic as defensive IP they don’t want rivals owning.
| Multiple | Equity Value | Implied Share Price |
|---|---|---|
| 2.0× | A$788m | ~A$0.35 |
| 2.5× | A$985m | ~A$0.44 |
Verdict
A$780m – A$1.0b ~$0.35 – $0.44 per shareThis is not fantasy, but it requires a clear strategic trigger.
Blue-sky / defensive block (rare but real)
This is the “we cannot let Nvidia / Intel / Apple / defence primes get this” scenario.~3× market cap
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Equity value | ~A$1.18b |
| Share price | ~A$0.53 |
- neuromorphic becomes obviously inevitable in edge/defence, and
- BrainChip is clearly the commercial leader, not just a research play.
The uncomfortable truth (but important)
Without a near-term catalyst, buyers know BrainChip’s cash runway and can afford to wait — which caps the premium.That’s why, today, the market-clearing outcome is most likely:
Anything materially above that requires momentum, not hope.

This brainchip would have to be one of the most painful investments experiences to date. My hopes go from pure excitement to a popped balloon every day. Unfortunately we have some investors jumping from believer's to turn coats and then all the down rampers are a constant buzzing in one's ear which doesn't do the spirit any good.

If you tell me BRN’s current share price/market cap today (or your own anchor), I’ll re-run the same logic and give you a tighter band in both AUD and USD.
You said:
Market cap is 394 million and share price is .175 cents
ChatGPT said:
Perfect — let’s lock it down with your numbers.
Inputs (confirmed):
Below is a clean, realistic acquisition framework assuming a strategic buyer like Qualcomm (i.e. IP + talent + long-term option value, not current revenue multiples).
- Market cap: A$394m
- Share price: A$0.175
30–50% control premium is very typical for Australian listed tech when there’s no bidding war.
Premium Equity Value Implied Share Price +30% A$512m ~A$0.228 +40% A$552m ~A$0.245 +50% A$591m ~A$0.263
This is the most likely range today if Qualcomm (or similar) decided “we want the IP, the team, and to remove uncertainty”.
This assumes something material has landed, e.g.:
~2.0× – 2.5× market cap
- meaningful design win,
- visible licence revenue inflection,
- strategic defence / automotive validation,
- or Qualcomm sees neuromorphic as defensive IP they don’t want rivals owning.
Multiple Equity Value Implied Share Price 2.0× A$788m ~A$0.35 2.5× A$985m ~A$0.44
This is not fantasy, but it requires a clear strategic trigger.
This is the “we cannot let Nvidia / Intel / Apple / defence primes get this” scenario.
~3× market cap
This only happens if:
Metric Value Equity value ~A$1.18b Share price ~A$0.53
- neuromorphic becomes obviously inevitable in edge/defence, and
- BrainChip is clearly the commercial leader, not just a research play.
Without a near-term catalyst, buyers know BrainChip’s cash runway and can afford to wait — which caps the premium.
That’s why, today, the market-clearing outcome is most likely:
Anything materially above that requires momentum, not hope.

THOR was discovered on a vid earlier this year by @Pom down under with a couple of responses from posters who watched it as below.

Appears moving ahead pretty quickly with website up and running etc as at November.
Akida & MetaTF has been included with a number of other neuromorphic players HW / SW like Loihi, Spinnaker, Brainscales, Dynap etc.
Not a bad thing imo, having major exposure to the academic groups and new breed of engineers and developers etc that will be part of the driving force behind further neuromorphic uptake.

Building
We envision a future where interdisciplinary collaboration on biological intelligence is seamless. Through close partnerships with industry, THOR will empower researchers to request, co-develop, deploy, and evaluate neuromorphic experiments on heterogeneous computing hardware systems. This platform will enable a richer understanding of computational models, algorithms, neuromorphic hardware, and real-world applications that benefit from bio-inspired processing.
Deployed at the University of Texas at San Antonio, THOR's infrastructure is hosted and maintained on-site. This provides a stable and reliable resource, ensuring community researchers have the ability to innovate and push the boundaries of what's possible in neuromorphic computing.
Neuromorphic hardware systems and chips are a groundbreaking class of computer processors engineered to mimic the efficiency and structure of the human brain. Unlike conventional computers, which separate processing and memory (the von Neumann bottleneck), neuromorphic chips integrate these functions by using networks of artificial neurons and synapses, eliminating the energy-intensive transfer of data. These chips rely on Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs), where processing is event-driven—meaning the artificial neurons only consume power when an information "spike" is received—leading to drastically lower energy consumption and latency. This brain-inspired architecture, demonstrated in chips like Intel's Loihi and IBM's TrueNorth, makes them exceptionally well-suited for demanding, real-time AI tasks requiring on-chip learning and adaptation, particularly in resource-constrained environments such as autonomous vehicles, robotics, and edge computing devices.
Neuromorphic software frameworks are the essential programming bridge that allows developers to design and deploy efficient, brain-inspired algorithms—namely Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs)—onto specialized neuromorphic hardware. Unlike traditional software that uses continuous data and sequential instructions, these frameworks provide tools and APIs to work with the event-driven, asynchronous communication characteristic of spiking neurons and to leverage synaptic plasticity for on-chip learning. Key examples include Intel's Lava (an open-source framework designed to be hardware-agnostic), PyNN (a simulator-independent language for SNN model specification), and deep learning extensions like snnTorch (which integrates SNNs with the PyTorch ecosystem), all of which are crucial for overcoming the complexities of programming massively parallel, bio-inspired architectures to fulfill the promise of ultra-low-power AI.
BRN Discussion Ongoing
I share very similar concerns. I simply don't trust Sean Hehir and I reckon Tony Dawe is sincere but probably in the dark as much as we shareholders. I've been waiting too long for my investment to bear fruit (originally bought about 2019 at 6 cents, and now average 65 cents) its making me very...

Hi FMF,
Hopefully Quantum Ventura's demo at CES 2026 of their Neuro RT cybersecurity model with Akida will be a resounding success.
If it is a success, early commercial sales might start late 2026 and then ramp up to broader revenue growth in 2027 once potential partnerships with resellers, MSPs, or OEMs expand.
