Pulsar Helium raises £19.1M as helium demand fuels investor appetite
What's the deal? Pulsar HeliumDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom → has raised £19.1 million ($25.5 million) in a post-IPO equity round, the primary helium company announced on July 8, 2026. Canaccord GenuityDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom → acted as sole bookrunner on the placing, with University Bancorp among the subscribers.
Why now? The company increased the size of the fundraise after what it described as "strong investor demand." Shares priced at 75 pence each, and the new stock represents roughly 13.5% of Pulsar's share capital before the raise.
What's the endgame? Pulsar plans to put the proceeds towards contingency at its Topaz Project and corporate working capital. The company is listed across three exchanges — AIM, the TSX Venture Exchange, and the OTCQB.
The mechanics: The total broke down into roughly $24 million from the placing, $1 million from a subscription with University Bancorp, and $0.5 million from a retail offer. The offer shares are expected to begin trading on AIM on July 13, 2026.
The signal: The raise lands as a notable step-up from Pulsar's previous round, a sign of firming investor confidence in primary helium — a gas critical to semiconductors, medical imaging, and aerospace, and one repeatedly hit by supply shortages.
