AIM WINNERS & LOSERS: Virgin Wines tops consensus despite lower profit

31st Jul 2025 11:15

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

----------

AIM - WINNERS

----------

Nativo Resources PLC, up 45% at 0.40 pence, 12-month range 7.20p-0.20p. The Latin America-focused exploration company hails a "huge milestone" as noteholders approve restructuring proposals, with 74% of votes in favour. The company will restructure the notes to allow for conversion of the capital, amounting to EUR10 million, and interest. The notes will not be convertible before 2032 unless the firm's market capitalisation exceeds GBP35 million. After the restructuring, Nativo will no longer be in technical default of its obligation to pay interest to noteholders at the end of June. "Through positive and pragmatic dialogue with noteholders we can now restructure the notes in a way that enables Nativo to continue its business plan without the weight of this debt and repayment obligation hanging over it," says Executive Chair Christian Yates. "Nativo is moving forward with its plans to establish sustainable gold production in Peru, with gold trading at well over three thousand dollars."

----------

Virgin Wines UK PLC, up 9.4% at 64.00p, 12-month range 70.00p-30.00p. The online wine retailer says pretax profit and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation top market expectations for the financial year to the end of June. Revenue is flat at GBP59 million while pretax profit is down 16% to GBP1.6 million from GBP1.9 million. Ebitda is 18% lower at GBP2.3 million from GBP2.8 million. The company says the gross product margin is down to 35.6% from 37.6% after an "unprecedented rise in alcohol duty". Chief Executive Officer Jay Wright says: "We have continued to drive increased levels of loyalty from customers on our key WineBank subscription scheme, whilst our marketing and operational costs have both reduced substantially year-on-year despite the inflationary environment. In a highly competitive sector, we have been delighted to see healthy market share gains with customers continuing to rate highly our exclusive portfolio of wines, and our outstanding levels of service."
