everplay Group – “Board and Trading Update” including recently “excited about the incredible slate of games” CEO now to “step down… with immediate effect”!

Just over a month and a half ago ‘indie’ video games group everplay (EVPL), formerly Team17 Group, was “pleased to announce its unaudited final results for the year ended 31 December 2024” and CEO Steve Bell was “excited about the incredible slate of games we have lined up for 2025, and some important innovations in our business model”. Now though a “Board and Trading Update” announcement including that “the board and Steve Bell have mutually agreed that he will step down”!

Character Group – interims, now only stating on the full-year “confident.. will be profitable” as it cuts dividend by over 60%

Most recently writing on designer, developer and international distributor of toys, games and giftware Character Group (CCT), last month with the shares down towards 240p I questioned whether it was seemingly likely profit decline just due to tariffs uncertainty and concluded to still avoid. The shares most recently closed at 255p and what of them currently falling to 240p on the back of half-year results from the company?

Michelmersh Brick – AGM emphasising “full year expectations are unchanged”, but that only after a prior profit warning…

I noted earlier today that a “Trading Update” from UK window, door and roofline products company Eurocell (ECEL) was a profit warning which dare not speak its name, so what about also today an “AGM Statement and Trading Update” announcement from company describing itself as “Britain's Brick Specialist”, Michelmersh Brick (MBH)?

Eurocell – “Trading Update” is a profit warning which dare not speak its name

UK window, door and roofline products company Eurocell (ECEL) has issued a “Trading Update” including “there are some signs of an improving picture in new build housing” and that its “balance sheet is strong and the actions we have taken, including those on costs and cash flow, position us well to benefit when our end markets fully recover”. So what of the shares, already down from above 170p at the start of the year, currently a further more than 7% lower at 147p in response?

TPXimpact – argues a “pleased to provide” trading update. Er, what about the February lack-of-profits warning?…

TPXimpact (TPX) has announced that it has “delivered a solid fourth quarter” and that in its now current year it “expects to deliver meaningful progress in profitability, driven by TPXimpact’s continued focus on operational discipline and greater productivity”. What does this mean financially against a currently slightly up to 25p share price?

Victorian Plumbing – interims emphasising “significant progress made against strategic priorities”… but cutting expected profit

Most recently writing on group describing itself as “the UK's leading bathroom retailer” Victorian Plumbing (VIC), in January with the shares down to around 94p I concluded an already decent earnings multiple and obvious risks to growth suggested to still avoid. The shares most recently closed at 107.5p but what about them currently back towards 90p on the back of a half-year results announcement the group argues is “highlighting the significant progress made against strategic priorities”?

itim – 2024 results it argues it’s “pleased to announce”, but what about that “broader market backdrop and potential challenges”?…

Most recently on company describing itself as “a SaaS based technology company that enables store-based retailers to optimise their businesses to improve financial performance” itim (ITIM), in February with the shares approaching 16% up from 41p on a trading update I noted though that it was far from ahead of the expectations of its 2021 AIM admission and that also it “mindful of the broader market backdrop and potential challenges ahead” suggested to continue to avoid ahead of its results announcement. What about it now “pleased to announce its audited results for the year ended 31 December 2024” and the shares currently responding more than 13% lower to 48.5p?
