Zotefoams – 2024 results, growth and value Buy

 Materials technology company Zotefoams (ZTF) has announced its results for the 2024 calendar year headlined “Record revenue and profitability form a firm foundation for our next growth phase”. How well does that compare to the valuation from a 298p share price?

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Those celebrating piss poor numbers from Wetherspoons, celebrate poor folks gettng sacked

 I start with JD Wetherspoon (JDW) and more low paid workers sacked by Rachel from Customer Services. Then two bigger companies to short: Diversified Energy (DEC) and Ceres Power (CWR). Finally Ed Milliband has discovered free money. Not.

ASOS – “expects a significant improvement in profitability in H1 FY25”. Er, that prior year period comparative though is an even adjusted £121.7 million loss!

 Reckoning it is “the destination for fashion-loving 20-somethings around the world”!, ASOS (ASC) has issued a trading update including that “in H1 FY25, the company expects revenue growth in line with, and adjusted EBITDA ahead of consensus. Encouragingly ASOS own brand full-price sales, a core engine of its customer proposition, returned to growth in the first half”. However, does the update justify a currently 22% higher share price response to above 310p?

BREAKING: What on earth is Lord Henry Bellingham playing at during the ADM Energy GM today

 The meeting was needed to approve new share issuances by ADM Energy (ADME) and was chaired by Tory grandee Lord Henry Bellend, no doubt advised by his Nomad Liam “the toke” Murray. What my man, present at the offices of lawyers Shakespeare Martineau LLP at 60 Gracechurch St, London, EC3V 0HR, describes is unreal.

You kiss Ajan Rejinald, it’s the kiss of corporate death: is Ashington Innovations bust yet?

 The shares have collapsed today by 23% to 0.65p leaving a market cap of just over £500,000 on the Main Market. But I reckon that Ashington Innovations (ASHI) is insolvent, the maths screams out that it is. The curse of association with both Jason Drummond of MediaCorp (MDC) infamy and the struck off dentist Ajan Rejinald strike again

EXPOSE: Nuburu - round trip related party share placing to fund SFE’s investment in Nuburu to permit Nuburu to lend related party fraud Supply

 This is just insane and why the SEC are not already cuffing Alessandro Zamboni and Dominic White defies belief. The stench associated with the Nuburu (US:BURU) CLN to refinance Supply@ME Capital (SYME) just got even worse.

Hochschild Mining – gold and silver exposure value

As record gold price excitement further builds in Nigel Somerville’s Montana Log-Cabin, we already have various production exposure to the metal on this website as well as development/exploration exposure. However, on our longer-term focused N50 website, we also have some material silver exposure via FTSE 100 Fresnillo (FRES) – shares in which are, at 920p, up more than 18% from a last year high in October and up 48% in 2025 to-date. Meanwhile, despite a good rise following recent results, for shares in smaller peer Hochschild Mining (HOC), a 235.5p offer price compares to above 240p reached last October and only 10% up in 2025 to-date. As gold and silver price excitement further builds, the following is why we can see a 350p+ share price here and potentially well above that on real sector excitement developing.

The maths of employing a chap to stick a fork in my garden, this is insanity

 My mixed health means that I am struggling with the large vegetable garden I have created here at the Welsh Hovel.. My partial solution is to plant more fruit bushes and trees and to stick to radishes, potatoes, marrows, squashes, beetroot, chillies, sweetcorn and strawberries on the vegetable patch. The area that will actually be a vegetable patch will thus shrink. But I still need help digging that over so put a comment on the local facebook page making it clear that all I wanted was someone to use a fork or hoe for basic work with payment at a suitable level. A chap called Johnny Bailey suggested himself and I called. What’s your rate? I asked

Supermarket Income REIT – interims, value and income Buy

 Grocery property real estate investment trust Supermarket Income REIT (SUPR) has announced its results for its half-year ended 31st December 2024 including slightly increased earnings and dividends and states that it can now “look forward to another busy period focused on delivering on our strategic objectives, which we believe will help encourage the market to assign appropriate value to the quality of our portfolio”. The following is why that suggests upside from a 75.7p share price.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast No 1 - Joseph Sheedy banned from ADVFN, the end of free speech? And another way of looking at Optibiotix selling Skins shares

 I discuss the banning of someone who is clearly, at many levels, unhinged. Where does free speech end? I think that ADVFN (AFN) has acted correctly and am glad to have assisted the Lemming. Then I answer PJ's point on one possible reason for Optibiotix (OPTI) to sell some more Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX) shares.

Hostelworld – “adjusted EBITDA delivery in line with consensus”, but how creditable is that?…

Previously writing on hostel market-focused online travel agent group Hostelworld (HSW), with the shares at 140p in August last year I concluded that I retained caution considering the valuation and demand move for “low-cost destinations”. What about now on the back of “pleased to announce” results headlined “Adjusted EBITDA delivery in line with consensus and return to net cash”, though the shares currently only at an edged-higher 126.5p?

The following is why we consider that offers further upside from a current 10.75p share price, despite the gains already from a 7.3p offer price initial tip just in November.

BREAKING BOMBSHELL EXPOSE: ISA outfit Plum – Is the FCA (for once) awake? Has MoneySuperMarket.com got a clear undeclared conflict of interest?

 I reached clear questions after reviewing Plum which is a “fintech” business offering both cash and equity investment accounts, included ISA options for both, via its shiney colourful app. To me it appears to me to be aimed at the younger generation. The app offers lots of “lets save together type” options. Its currently top of the MoneySuperMarket cash ISA listings. What’s not to like? Shiney app aimed at the young (is that inexperienced?) and the highest interest rate. Well, I think there is much not to like. Let me explain.

Most recently writing on music and audio products company Focusrite (TUNE), in January with the shares falling below 200p I concluded still avoid/sell with I cautious that its half-year to end-February results would show why it’s expectations detail not speaking its name. Now there’s a “Trading Update” including the half-year performance “was in line with expectations… Market expectations are understood to be a range for EBITDA for the 12 months to 31 August 2025 of between £24.5 million and £26.0 million”, so why a currently further lower, to below 170p, share price?
