Physiomics – grant award it considers “a testimony to the innovative culture of our company”. Is it really though?…
Stating that it offers cutting edge techniques and expertise to streamline drug development journeys, Physiomics (PYC) “is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a grant by Innovate UK and The Office for Life Sciences as part of the UK Government's Advancing Precision Medicine programme… we believe is a testimony to the innovative culture of our company”. Hmmm, what of a current share price of 1.6p then – down from above 5p early this year?- By Steve Moore |

Harland & Wolff – deeply discounted, keep the lights on, placing imminent? Tim Kempster
Shorter Tim Kempster says that by his sums Harland & Wolff (HARL) runs out of money either in December or early January. My analysis on this website has been permanently bearish and I agree with Tim. And in that vein I see that the shares are weaker today, at 13.5p having been pumped in recent weeks by ramptastic announcements. I also see that…- By Tom Winnifrith |

Technology Minerals – now about that legal action over the unpaid £391,000
Oddly enough Technology Minerals (TM1) – the company that stinks with numerous links to the fraudster Chris Cleverly of Tingo (US:TIO) infamy – has not mentioned this huge legal threat. I do hope it has flagged this up with the FCA as it struggles to get an RTO prospectus approved. I bet it has not.- By Tom Winnifrith |

Why are Diageo’s shares down 10% today?
You all probably know a lot more about Johnnie Walker, Guinness, Tanqueray, Baileys, Smirnoff, Captain Morgan, Crown Royal and Don Julio drinking realities than me. As a boring teetotal analyst for the last thirty years, I have no idea if they taste nice, make you feel good and the like, but I can see what is popular and respected via the boring old world of supply, demand and pricing power. And on all those fronts, I can fully understand why the company is still seeing its business “momentum continuing in four of our five regions”. What surprises me a little is the chat this morning that, “due to a weaker performance outlook in Latin America and Caribbean”, the company has had to issue a dodgy trading update.- By Chris Bailey |

Chill Brands – it is what it is NOT saying
The ramping continues with news that Chill Brands (CHLL) is to plug its nicotine free vapes via a wholesaler website. With almost zero brand awareness it is hard to see many small independent stores placing orders via this channel but in the absence of any positive financials to ramp the shares ahead of the next bailout placing any news will do. But it is what it is NOT saying that matters.- By Tom Winnifrith |

Aptamer – full-year results, has bad news again travelled slowly?
Writing on group describing itself as a “developer of novel Optimer binders to enable innovation in the life sciences industry” Aptamer (APTA), earlier this week with the shares down to 1.225p I concluded that I continued to avoid with also results for its year ended 30th June 2023 still needing to be delivered despite last year the results announced in mid-October. With it announcing the results now, has bad news again travelled slowly?

In today's podcast I discuss an accumulator bet on three profits warnings before Christmas or 4 before St Valentine's Day. I look at S4 Capita (SFOR) run by the pompous prick of the year 2010-23, Argentex (AGFX) and the disaster that is Falanx (FCS)- By Tom Winnifrith |

Fusion Antibodies – trading update estimates “cash runway has been maintained”. Has it really though?!…
Previously writing on antibody contract research organisation Fusion Antibodies (FAB), in August with the shares down to 6.625p I concluded they were a trading concerns avoid. A “half year trading update” announcement from the company now includes that it “has achieved a marked growth in the sales pipeline with overall values now standing at approximately four times that of six months ago”, but what of the shares currently materially further lower at below 4p in response?

TheWorks.co.uk plc – notes “sales growth” and medium and long-term “potential”…though what about the bottom-line currently?!
Previously writing on arts and crafts, stationery, toys and books retailer TheWorks (WRKS), towards the end of August with the shares falling below 30p I concluded to continue to avoid ahead of half-year detail including with costs and consumer spending headwinds. The shares most recently closed at 40p…but what of them currently down to 28.4p on the back of a “half-year trading update”?

NightCap – more bad news but where is the dog's real bark?
In 2022 Nightcap (NGHT) warned on 3 November that (piss poor) results would be out on 10 November. So far this year we have had no news on the numbers and it is blindingly obvious that Sarah Willingham’s company is pregnant with the current year’s lack of profits warning. Good news travels fast, bad news is always delayed. So instead of any news on the results/profits warning, to sugar the pill, we have another piece of bad news dressed up as good.- By Tom Winnifrith, the Sheriff of AIM |

I still am a fan of Wood Group shares
I am a bit disappointed that Wood Group (WG.) shares are down a couple of percent this morning as I write. Its third quarter update, after all, concluded that its full year outlook was confirmed. As always, it depends what is already priced in, and what is said about what is likely to go on next year and beyond. Investment is always an analytical game at many levels.- By Chris Bailey |

October AIM statistics – another disaster and a £40 billion question
The numbers do not tell a lie and are truly dreadful. In October nine companies left the casino and zero joined. That makes it the worst month of a dreadful year to date which has seen 59 departures and just 12 arrivals. The number of companies on the sewer was 769 at the end of the month, the lowest since early 2003. But there is a more damning statistic.- By Tom Winnifrith, the Sheriff of AIM |
