AIM WINNERS & LOSERS: Blue Star rises; Image Scan loses major contract

2nd Feb 2026 11:22

(Alliance News) - The following stocks are the leading risers and fallers on AIM on Monday.

----------

AIM - WINNERS

----------

Blue Star Capital PLC, up 53% at 13.00 pence, 12-month range 28.00p-4.00p. The investor focused on blockchain, e-sports, and payments says investee company SatoshiPay's fiat-to-crypto infrastructure platform, processed over USD10 million in total monthly transaction volumes in January. It says this was a "significant milestone" for the company, after it processed USD4.8 million in December. It has a 50% shareholding in SatoshiPay. "The board is encouraged by SatoshiPay's operational progress and the momentum achieved across its key growth initiatives. With the continued integration of API partners and the expansion into the United States underway, SatoshiPay is well positioned to deliver further growth in H1 2026," Blue Star Capital says.

AIM - LOSERS

----------

Image Scan Holdings PLC, down 27% at 1.50p, 12-month range 3.18p-1.06p. The Leicestershire, England-based provider of X-ray screening systems says it has been notified by NP Aerospace, a UK defence contractor, that the "large military customer" has terminated the prime contract under which Image Scan was contracted to supply its ThreatScan portable X‑ray systems. It says the termination is not performance-related and does not come from any alleged failure to meet contractual obligations. As previously disclosed, the contract represented a 36-month programme and was expected to contribute materially to financial 2027 and 2028 revenue, Image Scan says. Image Scan entered financial 2026 with an order book of GBP4.7 million. It says the order book after the removal of this contract stands at over GBP1 million. "While the termination of this contract is disappointing, particularly given the significant effort invested by Image Scan to secure and support the programme, the board believes that the remaining order book and cash position provide a good platform from which to manage the impact of this decision and continue to execute the group's broader strategy," Image Scan says.

----------

Ethernity Networks Ltd, down 21% at 0.004p, 12-month range 0.110p-0.004p. The supplier of data processing semiconductor technology for networking appliances announces a proposed placing of 9.19 billion new shares at 0.004p each to raise GBP367,500 before expenses. Participants in the placing will receive one warrant for share, that is exercisable at the placing price for 12 months. There will be an acceleration clause which would be triggered if the share price reaches 0.006p. During 2025, Ethernity says it generated USD1.0 million in revenue. It expects revenue between USD1.7 million and USD2.0 million from existing customers for 2026. The net proceeds of the placing will be used to support general working capital and to repay short-term debt and creditor obligations, which amount to "several tens of thousands" of US dollars per month.
