ActiveOps PLC, up 25% at 213.00 pence, 12-month range 82.00p-213.00p. Says it has delivered strong first-half growth and now expects full-year revenue to be comfortably ahead of market expectations. For the six months to September, it anticipates revenue to rise 45% to GBP20.8 million from GBP14.3 million a year earlier, or 50% on a constant currency basis. The Reading, England-based software firm says pretax profit will increase, with adjusted Ebitda also up double digits. Cash at the period's end stands at GBP13.3 million, little changed after funding the GBP5.5 million acquisition of Enlighten. Integration of the business is progressing to plan, ActiveOps says, with cost synergies expected to flow from next year.

Welcomes the additional certainty from the UK Competition & Markets Authority's provisional findings in its veterinary market investigation. The Norfolk, England-based veterinary services provider plans to respond in writing and will attend a further hearing with the CMA in December, ahead of a final decision expected in March 2026. CVS notes the CMA has refined its proposed reforms from 28 to 21 remedies, and says it will work with the regulator to ensure the measures are "workable and deliverable." The group adds that it already has plans to implement changes, including joint branding of its practices and publishing standardised price lists. CVS says it continues to expect to trade in line with market expectations.

AIM - LOSERS

Coro Energy PLC, down 5.6% at 0.425p, 12-month range 0.375p-4.50p. Secures a new loan from its engineering, procurement and construction provider in Vietnam to fund 70% of its next two megawatts of rooftop solar installations with Mobile World Group, worth about USD750,000. The loan will be repaid over five years, with a 10% coupon in the first year and an externally benchmarked rate thereafter. The Southeast Asia-focused renewable energy developer currently has 3.4 megawatts of installed rooftop solar capacity with Mobile World Group and a separate 3.0 megawatt project with Phong Phu Corporation. Chair Tom Richardson says the financing "dovetails the payment of the construction cost with the cash flows generated by the asset" and reflects Coro's progress toward self-funding growth in Vietnam.
