AIM - WINNERS

Cap-XX Ltd, up 49% at 0.44 pence, 12-month range 0.10p-0.49p. The Sydney-based designer and manufacturer of supercapacitors and energy management systems secures a design-in project with an unnamed company it calls "one of the world's largest semiconductor chip manufacturers". Cap-XX's supercapacitor technology will be integrated into high-temperature electric chambers used in semiconductor fabrication. The company notes these environments demand power solutions that "traditional" batteries fall short of due to heat sensitivity and limited lifespans. "This is an exciting validation of our technology by a global industry leader," says Cap-XX Chief Executive Officer Lars Stegmann. "Our ability to deliver high-performance energy solutions in challenging conditions continues to set us apart. We look forward to expanding this relationship and driving further adoption of CAP-XX supercapacitors in high-value industrial applications."

YouGov PLC, up 17% at 360.00p, 12-month range 240.50p-588.00p. The London-based research and data analytics company expects "strong" revenue and adjusted operating profit for the year ended July 31, which it attributes to its acquisition of Consumer Panel Services GfK GmbH in January 2024. CPS is a Nuremberg, Germany-based market research company specialising in consumer panels and retail measurement, which YouGov bought for EUR315 million. On an underlying basis, YouGov says it has delivered "modest" on-year revenue growth for financial 2025, in line with its expectations and boosted by a return to growth in its Data Products business, which is anticipated to post low-single-digit underlying growth. This is due to "normalising renewal rates and a number of client wins in the past year" within the segment. The company also reports "modest" growth in its Research unit due to "weaker performance" in its EMEA region and Government sector. YouGov Shopper, formerly known as the CPS business, performed "slightly ahead of expectations". "Looking ahead, the stable performance we have seen in the year and the current visibility into FY26 is encouraging. The group remains mindful of the volatile market conditions and expects client budgets will continue to face some pressure, which underlines the need for greater focus on delivering high-quality data products and increased innovation to drive medium-term growth," says YouGov. The firm is on track for annualised cost savings of GBP20 million as part of its ongoing cost optimisation plan.

The London-based mining firm targets mineral sand deposits in Sri Lanka receives subscriptions for around USD825,000 under the first tranche of a USD2 million investment to be made by Ambeon Capital PLC, a 14% shareholder in Capital Metals.

Capital Metals on Tuesday says Ambeon has now exercised its option to subscribe for 22.7 million new shares at the agreed issue price. Ambeon confirms it intends to exercise its option in full within the option period, which was extended to August 11. Proceeds will be used by Capital Metals to obtain necessary approvals to reach final investment decision, with any remaining funds to be used as general working capital. "We look forward to finalising the Ambeon option and working together towards the development of the project, cementing a funding path to positive cash flow," says Capital Metals Executive Chair Greg Martyr.
