Corero Network Security – argues “strong H1 2023 performance”, is it?…
Previously writing on company which describes itself as “a leading provider of distributed denial of service protection solutions” Corero Network Security (CNS), in April I wrote 2022 results, “now well placed to expand its market coverage and increase sales”? Er, what about that cash burn?!. What do half-year 2023 results now show?

Strix – interims state “no material uncertainties about the group's ability to continue as a going concern”, it sure about that?
Previously writing on kettle safety controls and other water temperature management components group Strix (KETL), in July with the shares rising above 105p I questioned how significant its trading improvement was and concluded, particularly ahead of further half-year financial insights, to continue to avoid. The shares most recently closed at 91.6p… and now the half-year results and the shares currently down below 55p! What’s going on here now?

Real-world, broad-church, insights from Next plc
My typical conclusion over the last few years when looking at Next plc (NXT) is that a sixty quid share price is a mega level for the company. Broadly speaking, you start to buy the FTSE 100 name when its shares are below this and start to sell them when they are above. How is my “rule” looking today?- By Chris Bailey |

Letter to AIM Regulation: Stifel and Avacta just cannot say this in an RNS
I have written to the Oxymorons, more in hope than expectation, suggesting that AIM Regulation sanction Nomad Stifel and Avacta (AVCT) for issuing an RNS that makes a claim that cannot be backed up. I realise that Avacta needs to do a placing in the next few months but even so this is more than naughty. This is not about me or Avacta but abut whether AIM wants to apply its own rules.- By Tom Winnifrith |

Silverwood Brands, oh dear, oh dear – more Monkey Business with the self styled Very Sexy Andrew
Shares in Silverwood Brands (SLWD) valued at 100p a pop represented about a third of the year end balance sheet of Andrew Monk’s Aquis listed VSA Capital (VSA). Yesterday just £7500 worth of shares were sold by somebody at just 25p causing the mid price to halve from 60p to 30 and so slashing the market cap by 50% to £78 million. Frankly even that valuation is nutso. It gets murkier and murkier.- By Tom Winnifrith |

Hercules Site Services – emphasises civils projects division “busy”, but what about the bottom-line?

So what of this and a share price currently more than 7% higher at 29p in response?- By Steve Moore |

Britain's leading gold analyst takes to twitter with his usual understated and utterly objective analysis
If we have ever given the impression that Mr David Lenigas is a run of the mill Aussie penny share promoter, we would like to apologise. He is clearly Britain's Number 1 gold analyst and a national treasure like his fellow Aussie Mr Peter Tatchell. I wonder if Dave and Pete know each other?- By Tom Winnifrith |

Avacta hires a second broker – why do you think that is?
Stifel Europe failed to get away a £10 million placing at 90p, no 80p, in mid June as I exposed HERE but, as I pointed out earlier this week HERE, Avacta (AVCT) MUST get away another placing before Easter in order to avoid its auditors flagging up a material uncertainty. Today we have news…- By Tom Winnifrith, the Sheriff of AIM |

Galliford Try – I can see why holders keep on holding
Just under a year ago I observed that I was quite impressed by Galliford Try (GFRD) and observed that the then sub 170p share price “seems a bit rude and I would stick with my 200p target”. That has worked out quite nicely, with the share price of “one of the UK's leading construction groups” now pushing nicely north of 210p. Time to exit stage left or not?

Tandem – interims, argues “resilient performance” with “a robust balance sheet”. Is that really so?…
Previously writing on sports, leisure and mobility equipment group Tandem (TND), in March with the shares down to 235p I concluded that, with it stated “2023 sales have begun slowly” and trading headwinds, I remained cautious of the near-term outlook and continued to avoid. The shares most recently closed at 210p but what of them currently falling to 170p on the back of first half of 2023 results?
