XPS Pensions Group – ‘ahead of expectations’ from a previous winning share tip, but what about value now?

XPS Pensions Group (XPS) is a former tip from the N50 website previously covered here in July last year when we concluded that, although already comfortably ahead of our 167p offer price tip, we considered a well above 200p share price was easily realistic. The shares went on to such levels last year but have further risen this year to now above 350p and we’re asked by Euroloon Jonathan Price (what about the group just emphasising it is a “pension consulting and administration business focussed on UK pension schemes”, Jonathan? :-) ) for an updated view following a trading update yesterday.

ActiveOps – with the ominous combination of a covid-era IPO and AIM Awards 2024 nomination, how’s trading?…

A covid-era IPO combined with an AIM Awards 2024 nomination, which has already proven a counter-indicator, don’t bode well for a “Trading Update and Notice of Half Year Results” announcement today from ActiveOps (AOM). What of the update and a current 127.5p share price?

Ibstock – Q3 update, how confident to be in full-year expectations “are unchanged”?

Describing itself as “a leading UK manufacturer of a diverse range of building products and solutions”, Ibstock (IBST) has issued a “Third Quarter Trading Update” commencing that it has “delivered a solid performance in the third quarter, with adjusted EBITDA broadly in line with our expectations”. What about this from a currently just below 200p share price?

ProBiotix Health and OptiBiotix Health – time for a mature negotiation which looks possible ex-OptiBiotix Chairman Neil Davidson

ProBiotix Health (AQSE - PBX) has issued a circular for a General Meeting requisitioned on behalf of shareholder Seneca Partners to seek to remove CEO Steen Andersen and Frederik Bruhn-Petersen as directors – and which ProBiotix argues follows ‘consultation’ with OptiBiotix Health (OPTI) acting in breach of contractual obligations.

Speedy Hire – “Half Year Trading Update”, how confident to really be in its “anticipates the group meeting its full year expectations”?

Describing itself as “the UK's leading tools and equipment hire services company”, Speedy Hire (SDY) has issued a trading update commencing that “trading performance in the first half has been satisfactory against a backdrop of challenging market conditions in some of the group's end markets. We remain positive about the future of these markets and also look forward to ongoing government support for major infrastructure projects. Hire revenue for the first half is consistent with H1 FY2024”. How’s the update compared to a most recent close 37.5p share price?

Avacta: more goalposts being shifted, more red flags vicar

If Avacta (AVCT) really believed that AVA 6000 would make it out of phase 2 trials it would be betting the ranch on it. But the last reported data was so bad that you can understand why it is not. So what to do? Move the goalposts that is what.

Union Jack confessional but does it give a FF about AIM Rules?

AIM Rules dictate that as soon as a company is aware of adverse, or indeed positive, price sensitive information it must disclosed it via an RNS. I wonder if Dave Bramhill of Union Jack Oil (UJO), a man who spaffs shareholders cash getting corporate spooks to investigate journalists, gives a FF about the rules?

Medical data technology company Feedback plc (FDBK) has announced its ‘Bleepa’ platform is “now eligible for reimbursement under the Elective Recovery Fund and that any Integrated Care Board or hospital in England will, with immediate effect be able to utilise this funding, by local agreement, to reimburse expenditure on the Bleepa technology… Management believes that access to ERF represents a step change in the company's commercial prospects”.

Zytronic – states following “a full business and operational review… a clearer vision for what is required to turn the company around”. Er, is there?!…

Most recently writing on touch sensors manufacturer Zytronic (ZYT), early this year with the shares down to 60p I concluded its outlook suggested to continue to avoid. The shares most recently closed at 53.5p and what of they currently down to 50p on the back of a “Strategic Review & Trading Update” announcement?

Trevor Brown at it again as IQ-AI pumped before the next bailout

That Trevor Brown is the CEO of IQ-AI (IQAI) should be enough of a red flag for anyone to dump their stock, especially after his recent share dealing exposed HERE. But the main reason to get out now is that IQ is running on vapours and is desperately trying a pump ahead of a placing which has to be imminent.

Tom Winnifrith Bonus Bearcast: betting markets and polls are now moving rapidly in the USA, how to profit from this

The polls and the betting markets are now moving fast and if, like the Mrs, Evil Banksta, Euroloon Jonathan Price and Lucian Miers you have #TrumpDerangementSyndrome the news is bad. So from an investment perspective how should one react? And I offer up another long odds bet to consider. I should have added that Trump is only 37% to win the popular vote. Again, with most national polls now a tie, that has to be worth a very small flutter.

Sanderson Design – having been an AIM Awards 2024 nominee, just days later results statement disappointment (natch!)…

Having announced last month that it would be announcing half-year results on 16th October after being shortlisted (“Corporate Governance Award”) for the 2024 AIM Awards self-indulgent beanfeast held on 10th October, shares in interior design and furnishings group Sanderson Design (SDG) are currently heading towards four year lows, being down a further 17% to below 65p, on the back of the results statement. Another counter-indicator from the AIM Awards then!

Versarien – The 4th placing in 2024 and the company should still go bust in February

After the pump pf a meaningless corporate update what the hell did you expect to happen? Today Versarien (VRS) undertook its 4th placing in 2024, raising just £450,000 at a mere 0.0325 pence per share. If you think that this is the last I have a bridge to sell you.

BREAKING Guild Esports: David Beckham walks away with £9m, the Bixby gang make millions, company now worthless

In 2020 members of the Bixby/Edwards/Frangos/Story gang issued gazilions of shares to themselves in Guild Esports for fractions of a penny and then in October of that year floated it at 5p. The ghastly Mail on Sunday was roped in to promote the bezzle on the basis that David Beckham had invested and was going to be a brand ambassador. However…
