AO World – emphasises delivering on pivot of “focus to profit and cash generation”, but sufficiently for the valuation?…

Electricals retailer AO World (AO.) has issued a trading statement including that it now expects its year ending 31st March 2024 adjusted pre-tax profit “to be at least at the top of the previously guided range of £28-£33m” and that it “remain confident in our ability to deliver on our ambition for 10-20% revenue growth in the year ahead and medium-term profit guidance of 5% adjusted PBT margin”. What about this with the shares currently back up to above 100p in response?

Weak results at Wyld Networks, a double whammy for Tern on the way

Natch, these days Tern (TERN) does not flag up results from investee company Wyld Networks via an RNS or RNS reach as it did in the good old days before everything was imploding. So maybe folks do not realise just how awful just released Q4 interim and year end results were.
SAG

Science Group – a further focus on shareholder value Buy...

International science and technology consultancy and systems business Science Group (SAG) recently announced results for the 2023 calendar year showing further financial progress and emphasising that now, “for over a decade, Science Group has demonstrated a consistent operating track record, enhanced by a successful M&A programme”. However, a 400p offer price for the shares still doesn’t look to fairly reflect this, and there is suggested potential action afoot to seek to change that.

Iconic Labs interims and proposed RTO: more red flags vicar?

Iconic (ICON) released its interim results which show a profit of £270,131 because of write back of creditors of £739,133. Administrative costs for a company with no operational business remained high at £274,466. Though this is a kosher accounting profit it is not a profit in the sense of generating cash. Au contraire.

Golden Prospect Precious Metals – 2023 results, an again increasingly favourable gold environment Buy

Golden Prospect Precious Metals (GPM) has announced its results for the 2023 calendar year, noting a year-end net asset value per share of 35.81p and concluding that “out of favour gold equities appear a good hedge for portfolios at present, particularly with approaching elections in the US and also relevant for fund shareholders in the UK”. We suggest that is indeed so from a 30p share price, £25.7 million market cap, here.

GOTCHA: Sareum placing and retail offer at just 10p, for morons and financial masochists only

For 20 years Tim Mitchell has been fighting the good fight against cancer at Sareum (SAR) giving hope but not actually delivering anything other than accumulated losses of c£23 million and a six figure pay cheque for him every year. Last year his total package was £207,847 but I suppose a man has got to live. Lovely Jubbly. Anyhow, as predicted on this website a few times in recent weeks, simply to survive the company has today announced a hugely discounted placing.

Amaroq Minerals – 2023 results, an upcoming production and exploration excitement BUY

Amaroq Minerals (AMRQ) has announced results to the end of 2023 including affirming that 2024 is a crucial year for it as it focuses on bringing the Nalunaq mine back into production and accelerating exploration activities across its wide other precious metals and also strategic metals projects in Greenland.
GELN

Gelion – interims argue “confident… well positioned to continue developing relevant energy storage solutions”. Is it though?…

Describing itself as an “Anglo-Australian battery innovator”, Gelion (GELN) today states that it “is pleased to announce its interim results for the six months ended 31 December 2023” and emphasises “the progress that is being made every day organically by both our Lithium Sulfur and Zinc Hybrid teams to bring the pieces together and establish Gelion's unique proposition”. However, why are the shares then at 15.25p comparing to an even start-of-2024 above 24p?

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Kerboom, GOTCHA!

In today's bearcast I look at Ben's Creek (BEN), BSF Enterprises (BSFA), our own PL and Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX), Cavendish Financial (CAV) where surely a profits warning is on the way, S4 Capital (SFOR) and then in great detail Technology Minerals (TM1) which appears to have broken a string of rules on disclosure, accounting and worse. It really is a zero in waiting. GOTCHA!

GOTCHA! Technology Minerals – why interims and year accounts need to be restated to consolidate Recyclus Group, shares must be suspended NOW

Technology Minerals (TM1) published its interim results for the six months ended 31 December 2023 today which showed a loss of £1,476,000 and net assets of £20,639,000. They are erroneous and need to be restated as do last year's finals and that throws its plans to get the FCA to approve an RTO prospectus into disarray. I shall be reporting Technology to the FCA and FRC today. So here is why this company co-founded by disgraced Chris Cleverly has breached the rules and why its shares should be suspended which, given its reliance on death spiral funding, could well trigger bankruptcy...
SOLI

Solid State – results “expected to be ahead of consensus expectations”, but how sustainably?…

Electronics products for specialist and harsh environments company Solid State (SOLI) today commences a “trading update” with that it is “pleased to report a record year in FY24 with a strong trading performance towards the end of the year”. So why a current share price response towards 1300p, down more than 6%?
BMS

Braemar – full-year “in line with market expectations”, remains a value BUY

Shipping and energy markets services company Braemar (BMS) has issued a trading update commencing that it “is pleased to report that the group has achieved another strong performance, with revenue and underlying operating profit for FY24 in line with market expectations”. So how good is this news from a now up to 257p to buy the shares?
SYME

The fraud Supply@ME issues another 1.5 billion worthless shares to Zamboni: more smoke and mirrors vicar?

The long running farce continues with more shares being issued, no more cash being raised and Supply@ME Capital (SYME) still a fraud, generating SFA in revenues and technically insolvent. What is not to like? If only we had a world leading regulator looking at the Standard List where these worthless bits of confetti are traded.
CEY

Centamin – positive 2023 results and a better outlook, Buy

Gold miner in Egypt, Centamin (CEY) has announced results for the 2023 calendar year emphasising that it was the third consecutive year of delivery into production guidance while beating all-in sustaining cost and capex forecasts, and reiterating 2024 gold production guidance of 470,000-500,000 ounces. This sounds like good news and the shares are currently up to 107p.

BSF Enterprises: time for a statement re bailout fundraise

The share price suggests that an element of panic is setting in. Is bucket shop Shard readying its client BSF Enterprises (BSFA) for the deeply discounted placing that it has already explicitly warned is on the cards.

Put the kettle on, it’s another disastrous trading statement from Strix containing a blatant porky

In August 2021 shares in the company claiming to be revolutionising the world of kettles, Strix (KETL) were 375p. Today they are 62.5p after yet another disastrous statement. Old father time, Malcolm Stacey, was a fan but Steve and I warned you time and time again. Let’s start with the dividend. It’s been axed.
