Botswana Minerals PLC, up 24% at 0.26 pence, 12-month range 0.43p-0.08p. The copper and diamond explorer, previously known as Botswana Diamonds, says its pretax loss narrows to GBP215,000 in the six months to the end of December 2025 from GBP225,000 a year earlier. The loss per share remains flat at 0.02p pence. The firm says it has consolidated its position as a "technology-enabled explorer in Botswana" and retains its core diamond assets. It notes the award of eight high priority copper licences during the period. "The board has consistently stated that diamonds remain central to the company's identity. However, in response to prolonged weakness in the natural diamond market and the structural rise of lab-grown diamonds, we have prioritised capital allocation towards copper and other critical minerals where demand fundamentals are robust," the company says. Looking ahead, Botswana Minerals says it has multiple pathways to value creation from "the combination of copper growth potential today and diamond upside tomorrow".

System1 Group PLC, up 22% at 257.75p, 12-month range 609.00p-170.50p. The marketing firm says it expects to report record revenue for the second half of the financial year to the end of March 2026, with its performance for the full year in line with guidance. It says the "strong level of new business wins" throughout the year provide a positive outlook for the 2027 financial year. System1 says its cost base restructuring will provide "greater operational leverage" but one-off costs for financial 2026. The company says it remains comfortable with consensus revenue forecasts for financial 2027. It now expects adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation to be "materially ahead" of current market forecasts in financial 2027, with a margin of at least 15% with the opportunity for further margin expansion as revenue scales. It will publish a trading update in late April before its full year results in July. "The step up in new business wins, together with the completion of our investment phase and the benefits of cost optimisation activities, are now driving clearer commercial momentum and revenue growth, including double-digit growth in Innovation sales, deepening our customer engagement and strategic relevance," says Chief Executive Officer James Gregory.

AIM - LOSERS

Wishbone Gold PLC, down 33% at 44.00p, 12-month range 229.80p-9.00p. The gold miner says results from its 2025 drilling campaign confirm the presence of gold and copper mineralisation at the Red Setter project in western Australia. "These assay results further support the potential for the project to host a large-scale mineralised system within one of Australia's most prospective gold-copper provinces," the firm says. For 2026, Wishbone Gold has a 25 hole drilling programme of around 9,000 metres to follow up on the results. It says it is well funded for the drilling programme and is working to mobilise drilling crews as soon as possible once the rainy season ends in April. "We appreciate that publishing these results has taken longer than expected however, with a streamlined drilling approach and improved assay turnaround times planned for the 2026 programme, we expect to generate more regular exploration updates as we continue to advance the exciting Red Setter project," says Western Australia Director Ed Mead.

CPPGroup PLC, down 28% at 53.00p, 12-month range 163.00p-39.00p. The digital financial services provider receives notification from OneAssist Consumer Solutions Private Ltd that it does not expect to pay any deferred consideration for its purchase of CPP India, which completed in September 2025. The deferred consideration is contingent on agreed performance conditions. "Whilst notification has been provided by the buyers, the company is considering the terms of such notice under the provisions of the [Sales and Purchase Agreement]," CPPGroup says. It adds that if the deferred consideration is not paid, it will require additional funding within the next 12 months. CPPGroup says it has been in discussions with existing shareholders and potential investors regarding raising fresh funds. These discussions are ongoing. The firm says it "continues to actively pursue and assess a range of strategic options in the best interests of the business and to maximise long-term shareholder value". The company notes that it continues to trade in line with management expectations.
