Itaconix – “Trading Update”, why’s 2023 margin comparative provided but revenue comparative dare not speak its name?…

Describing itself as “a leading innovator in plant-based specialty polymers used to decarbonize everyday consumer products”, Itaconix (ITX) states that it “is pleased to provide a trading update for the year ended 31 December 2024 which is in line with expectations”. How ‘pleasing’ is this?…

Ariana – Turkey News, General (Selective) Update, Gold North….Shares Down!

AIM-listed Ariana Resources (AAU) served up a production results update this morning, along with comments over its coming mine at Tavsan, Dokwe and so on. The update reads just fine, but there’s an elephant in the room….or two!
HEAD

Headlam – emphasises slowing revenue decline, but a turnaround in trading still currently required…

Describing itself as a “leading floorcoverings distributor”, Headlam Group (HEAD) has issued a trading update including that “revenue in H2 2024 declined by 7.4% compared to an 11.8% decline in H1 2024” and that it “ended the year with net cash of £11 million and a property portfolio valued at £95 million”. When then of a currently further down to 137p share price, giving a down towards £110 million market cap?
EXR

Engage XR – “Launch of Education Offering”. Ramptastic!

Describing itself as “a leading immersive technology company”, Engage XR (EXR) has announced the unveiling of its “comprehensive education offering” and that it “anticipate significant growth opportunities in the global education sector as the price of headsets continues to fall”. So what of a current share price response to 1.775p, more than 150% higher?!

Hero of the day (again): Wetherspoon’s Tim Martin blasts out of touch no beer Kier

The great Tim Martin has served up a trading statement for JD Wetherspoon (JDW) which is pretty creditable given the damage that Rachel from Accounts is doing to the economy. Apparently, the chancellor told assembled suits in Davos yesterday that she was committed to lower taxes and cutting regulation. You could have fooled me. But the Spoons boss saves his customary vitriol for the dear leader, Two Tier Keir.

Another AIM Disaster: The collapse of RBG continues: Nick Davies quits board, shares minus 99% since IPO

To be fair the senior man at the Memery Crystal is staying on there but he has left the PLC board at RBG (RBGP) with immediate effect. No reason is given for this departure and that is surely a very big red flag.

Tom Winnifrith Bonus Bearcast: A tale of two gold miners, with a few words for Catriona and Matthew's Dog

I am sorry but the idiot who crafted one RNS today always spurs me to bad language especially when his work is so shite. The two companies discussed are Ariana Resources (AAU) and Amaroq (AMRQ).

Revel Collective – is “robust” trading fooling itself or trying to fool everyone else?…

Most recently writing on The Revel Collective (TRC), formerly Revolution Bars Group and now describing itself as “a leading operator of premium bars and gastro pubs, trading mainly under the Revolution, Revolución de Cuba and Peach Pubs brands”, in October with its shares down to 0.725p I questioned its argument that it was “well positioned for future growth” and concluded to still avoid. What about now an “H1 Update” announcement from the company and the shares currently a further 25% lower in response to 0.30p?

The time is coming to focus on writing, my family, chickens and goats. So will you join me on September 6 at the Welsh Hovel for what will be a special farewell gig.

Shoe Zone – “pleased to announce” results of “a good year”. Er, what about the ‘profit’ and cash slumps then?…

UK footwear retailer Shoe Zone (SHOE) states that it “is pleased to announce its audited results for the 52 weeks to 28 September 2024”. So what of an around 100p share price comparing to above 200p at the start of that year?
TLY

Why is Totally not a Total zero?

In the past, and at much higher levels, Brown Envelope Man has promoted this company with his usual voodoo analysis. At just 8.75p it is now capitalized at £18 million. Surely the involvement of Mir is enough of red flag?

XP Power – argues “performing well in challenging end markets”, but how well really?…

Describing itself as “one of the world's leading developers and manufacturers of critical power control components to the electronics industry”, XP Power (XPP) has issued a “Trading Update” headlined “Performing well in challenging end markets, improved cash generation”. So what of the shares currently more than 3% lower in response to around 1250p?
PREM

(Cock)Roach pulls fund raise, just how screwed is Premier African?

Oh dear, oh dear. With a dream team of advisers including London’s worst Nomad, Mr. Roland “fatty” Cornish and three brokers including Oriel College Oxford’s finest, Mr. Andrew Monk, Premier African Minerals (PREM) has been an ongoing car crash. Six days ago it announced a placing and retail offer at 0.0275p, a 30% discount to the prevailing mid.. Today that funding has collapsed and so there will be no coke and hookers cash for the brokers and Premier looks screwed.

Landscape, building and roofing products company Marshalls (MSLH) has issued a trading update including that it “expects adjusted profit before tax for 2024 to be within the range of market expectations” and “believes that profitability in 2025 will be ahead of FY2024”. So what of a current approaching 8% lower share price response to around 235p?
