Breaking news and expert analysis on fast-moving AIM and LSE listed shares
Next week is half term here in the rain sodden post industrial second world nation of sanctuary that is Wales and I have promised the Mrs. and kids a few days away with me doing limited keyboard time. After what she endured from Paul Mathieson it is the least that I can offer. So help me out and be like reader A and win an almost free week at the Greek Hovel.
Online retail group Boohoo (DEBS) has announced results for its half-year ended 31st August 2026 with CEO Dan Finley emphasising “profit before tax has improved to £28.3m. This is the first time the group has delivered positive profit before tax since August 2021… I see material opportunities ahead and we are fully focused on maximising them”. What about that and in the context of a current 26p share price, £421 million market capitalisation?
Before ending with an appeal to your better nature I discuss Wishbone Gold (WSBN), Georgina Energy (GEX), Amaroq (AMRQ), Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) and gold shares in general.
Most recently on packaging manufacturer Robinson plc (RBN), last month I wrote ‘after I previously questioned how realistic its outlook targets, now a “significant” contract non-renewal “Trading Update”’ which concluded with the shares down to 120p to still avoid/sell. The shares most recently closed at 122.5p but now a further “Trading Update”.
Every time Predator Oil & Gas (PRD) does yet another bailout discounted placing having only recently stressed how cashed up and fully funded it is, which is almost as often as I have inappropriate thoughts about Cheryl Cole, its crazy old coot CEO Paul Griffiths record a video with some limp dick promotional company. And every time folks see his ramblings fewer want to buy the shares. He has just served up a classic.
Just to show how the bear raider Evil Knievil is usually right, Delta Gold (DGQ) shares are again slumping proving up one of the golden rules of the great bear.
Following on from my bombshell expose earlier I am getting some stick from various social media poltroons urging Georgina Energy (GEX) to sue me and deal with me. I shall save you the trouble sweeties although I am happy to “see you in Court bitchez!”. Publishing a hard legal document that directly contradicts statements made by a company before it raises cash via 2 equity placings is a serious matter. I am not in the soup (nor am I short as the poltroons believe) . Georgina is, however, very much in the merde. I have now written to my contact at the FCA
Identity and location technology group GB (GBG) has issued a half-year trading statement headlined “4.5% first half revenue growth in core segments driven by Location and EMEA Identity. FY27 outlook in line with market expectations”. How positive is that in the context of the valuation from a 158p share price?
Shares in Cirata (CRTA) have plunged again today to just 5p. That is 66.7% down on the July placing and 90% down on the level when £430,000 a year plus bonus of up to 100% of salary + expenses + sponsorship of his daughter’s hockey team Stephen Kelly became CEO just over 3 years ago. In light of the crashing share price, the urgent need for another refinancing by Easter and the numerous devastating revelations on this website I have written to Nomad Stifel
Oh dear, oh dear. While issuing shares to mug punters to fund the development of both of its plays, Hussar and Mount Winter, Georgina Energy (GEX) seems to have been hiding exceedingly bad, no devastating, news as the document below demonstrates. The shares must be suspended immediately and the FCA needs to be all over this.
Valereum (VLRM) continues to insist that the $279.5 million of totally untradeable crypto created by QGP, a start up Cayman business run by the son and business partner of a convicted ponzi fraudster, is backed by gold assets worth $32 billion in California. It is not. This is fraud and a mining expert with first hand experience of Southern California guides me to yet more red flags.
Describing itself as a “UK pioneer in solid state battery technology”, Ilika (IKA) has issued a “Launches ORKA Brand for Marine Applications”-titled announcement with CEO Graeme Purdy emphasising “increasing interest and opportunity for our Goliath batteries in non-automotive markets such as e-bikes, defence and marine, which offer early routes to commercialisation”. What about this, with the shares currently nudging up to 23p in response?
I end with an urgent plea to you all, please do enter the latest contest HERE. I start with some maths on Wishbone (WSBN) to help those who do not realise the severity of its cash crisis. Then the paradox of AQSE considering why Probiotix (PBX) should stay but its manifest failings on Amazing AI but more especially Valereum (VLRM).
Now that he has let his subscription lapse, I am happily not publishing his defamatory posts. But in case you think that the man North Wales Police are so keen to interview under caution for harassment and malicious communications has gone away, think again. Trying to comment on my woodpile the deluded poltroon "on the run" in Manilla Mathieson says:
Fusion Antibodies (FAB) has issued a “Contract win” announcement with CEO Adrian Kinkaid emphasising “delighted to have secured this further project with an established pharmaceutical client… reflects… the value of Fusion’s specialist antibody development capabilities. The award also supports our strategy of developing deeper relationships with major pharmaceutical companies, providing opportunities for further collaboration and a more diversified revenue base”. What about that from a current 5.75p share price, £7.2 million market cap here?
