Breaking news and expert analysis on fast-moving AIM and LSE listed shares
To win an off peak holiday at the Greek Hovel simply send 300-999 words to tomat49@gmail.com on one UK listed stock capitalized at more than £10 million whose shares you expect to collapse, preferably to zero, but are not yet suspended. The deadline to enter is midnight on Saturday but why tarry. Fourteenth up is Steve Moore on Zinc Media (ZIN)
Industrial components manufacturer and supplier Essentra (ESNT) has issued a “Q3 2026 Trading Update” headlined “Strong Q3 revenue growth; FY26 adjusted operating profit expected towards the upper end of market expectations”. How good is this news from the valuation at a 115.2p share price, £328.5 million market capitalisation?

The life of Brian. Well two Brians actually. Moritz who is currently chairman of Vast Resources (VAST) and Basham, the champagne socialist of the year 2002-26 who was a NED for a few months in 2017. It seems as it Moritz, the one vaguely credible chap on the board is on the way out as CEO Roy Tucker has been sending emails overnight, notably this one:
I shall discuss the suspension of trading in shares in the Valereum (VLRM) fraud later. Suffice to say I have been on this company’s case for eons and am vindicated. And thus, as you can see below, I celebrated in the traditional way.
It was horribly depressing. I discuss dementia. Then, almost as depressing, gold. Then Predator Oil & Gas (PRD) and why my target is 0p and a few more words on Fagash and Union Jack.(UJO)
‘Independent, premium cinema group’ Everyman Media (EMAN) has announced its General Meeting resolutions passed including to cancel the shares AIM listing. What about this and a current 51.5p share price?
Plastic products company Coral Products (CRU) has issued an update including that it “is working with its auditor to complete the audit and currently expects to publish its annual audited accounts by 30 November”. A problem though is that the accounts are for the company’s year ended 30th April 2026 and, therefore, due by the end of this month. As such, it’s shares suspension ahoy and this is far from the only problem here…
Chris Vermeulen is a technical analyst so take all this with a pinch of salt. He issues a stark warning: gold and silver have officially entered a bear market, with charts pointing to significant further downside.
Oh for the good old days when Optibiotix (OPTI) used the Adam Reynolds keyboard. These days it uses one that does have numbers keys and I call bullshit as a response.
Until yesterday the Alessandro Zamboni US listed fraud Nuburu (US:BURU) looked like it was heading for its third and probably final relegation to the OTC markets as its share price reached a low of just 16 cents close to the delisting threshold of 10 cents.
David Lenigas and the 12 year old pipsqueak CEO Hewie Rattray can run but they cannot hide. Half calendar year results came out on November 11 last year so we must again be due numbers soon from London Bitcoin (BTC)

This stinks to high heaven. And makes Predator Oil & Gas (PRD) always a dog, just wholly uninvestable. The FCA should be all over this and the CEO, the crazy old coot, Paul Griffiths.

Describing itself as “the strategic partner to unlock productivity in health and care”, Feedback plc (FDBK) has issued a “Business Update” headlined “Contract extension and development funding received from QVH, building on existing relationship. Emerging ICB opportunities”. Sounds encouraging, so what of a current 5.6p share price being approaching 14% lower!?
Vanquis Banking Group (VANQ) has issued a “3rd Quarter Trading Statement” with highlights including “Gross customer interest-earning balances increased by 5% in 3Q26 to over £3.2bn… Year-to-date net interest margin remained strong at 14.8% (risky borrowers then!)… expects to deliver improved profitability in both 2027 and 2028”. Er, what about this year it’s a trading statement for though?
In today's podcast I have an update on olive harvesting timetables. I also discuss the bet the ranch short contest and beg for three more entries. Then I look at the moral downfall of Fagash, at Union Jack Oil (UJO), Bluebird Mining (BMV), Poundland and Georgina Energy (GEX), its rushed out interims and the fiat crisis they show is looming
Describing itself as “a premium television and content creation group”, Zinc Media (ZIN) states that it “is pleased to announce a proposed conditional placing to raise a minimum of £2 million”. A ‘pleasing’ price then in relation to a most recent closing 43.5p share price, £13 million market cap?…
At nobody is watching O’Clock late yesterday, Supply@ME Capital (SYME) issued a RNS announcing a delay in the publication of interim results for the six months to 30 June 2026 and a strategic update. Supply of course still hasn’t published its year end accounts to 31 December 2025.
