Breaking news and expert analysis on fast-moving AIM and LSE listed shares
He will be back at Sharestock on 4 September 2027 after a two year break. Matt Earl, aka the Dark Destroyer, is, arguably, the UK's leading short seller. Uber modest Evil Banksta might argue, but Matt and his Shadowfall fund have a long line of big scalps including Wirecard, ASOS and THG. And Matt's return is another reason to book an early bird ticket NOW before prices go up - you can do so HERE. Matt is not the only reason to pitch up.
Renewables Infrastructure Group (TRIG) has issued quarterly updates including announcing a dividend of 1.8875p per share with an ex-dividend date of 12th November and to be paid on 31st December and that “portfolio performance was ahead of budget… reaffirms the dividend target for FY 2026 at 7.55p per share”. What about this in relation to the valuation at an 81.4p share price, up from a 77p offer price tip in September?
Software and services to the publishing and media industries company Ingenta (ING) has issued a “Strategic Update and Directorate Change” announcement including “adjusted EBITDA is in line with market expectations… and… a refocusing of the group’s strategy around AI, supported by changes to the board and senior management”. So what about a current share price response towards 55p, more than 16% lower?
I reflect on Nicolas Slater's heroics at Aptamer (APTA) but on why I really do not believe in options at all. Then it is the gold price, the most hated CEO on AIM and finally Amaroq (AMRQ) and today's superb Q3 statement
Hooray. Following a sustained campaign on this website and on X by shareholder Nicholas Slater the greedy bastards running Aptamer (APTA) have rowed back on an option scheme that shamed AIM.
Most recently on hardware products and software solutions to the content creation market company Videndum (VID), in August with the shares up to 240p I questioned would even a new lowered expectation range be met considering the first half performance and noted outlook. The shares most recently closed at 217.5p and what about now a further update on trading?
Finally, we have results for the year to May 31 2026 from bitcoin in treasury shitco Falconedge (EDGE) and the killer is what the RNS DOES NOT say.
Analyst Jeffrey Christian of CPM Group says he does not expect to see reasons to sell his gold in his lifetime. We should all buy and hold.
After yesterday’s shocking deal where Eight Capital (ECP) bought a business from itself for 7.55 million Euro, a hidden fraud exposed HERE, I have written to Robert Moore, the senior partner of its auditors Bright Grahame Murray.
Most recently on footwear brand company Dr. Martens (DOCS), in July with the shares at 73.5p I questioned how much “on track” with strategic objectives towards “the world’s most-desired premium footwear brand”. The shares most recently closed at 63.4p and what about now “H1 FY27 Results” and the shares currently falling towards 52p?
Christopher Woolcott admitted that he created fake documents designed to mislead folks that there was a £154 million bid for the dog that was Touchstone Energy (TXP) hoping that this would pump up the value of his shares. The FCA began a 16 month investigation and he was charged and pleased guilty to fraud and forgery. But this is where it gets crazy.
Most recently on “specialist value-added supplier and design-in manufacturer of computing, power, and communications products” Solid State plc (SOLI), in April with the shares up to 160p I wrote ‘emphasises “ahead of expectations”, but really how “well placed to fulfil the demand”?’. The shares most recently closed at 171p and what about them currently rising further on a “$26.2 million UK MoD Order for Project CAIN” announcement?
I start with the highs and lows of my non work day before looking at Blackbird (BIRD), Optibiotix (OPTI) and the never ending car crash that is Cavendish (CAV)
Taylor Wimpey (TW) today joins the other builders in guiding down forecasts of full year profitability. But though the Government will ape George Osborne’s cack handed attempts to increase house prices in the name of affordability ( whatever) there is more woe to come.
The buzz is all about how CEO Jensen Huang has been banging an attractive Chinese spy. But the bear dossier from May below indicates that is not the real China crisis Nvidia (NVDA) faces. As I noted on Monday the CEO issue might be the prick but there are so many other matters that make the bubble.
