One good one, GlobalData (DATA) is applying for a promotion to the Main Market. One er…less good one, RA International (RAI) has served up a lack of profits warning and as part of a desperate cost cutting operation is to delist. It may well go bust. What does this say about AIM?
Previously writing on remote site services provider RA International Group (RAI), in February with the shares down to 29p I noted ‘stalled order book momentum’.
