(Alliance News) - The following stocks are the leading risers and fallers among London Main Market small-caps on Friday.
----------
SMALL-CAP - WINNERS
----------
Phoenix Spree Deutschland Ltd, up 1.9% at 165.50 pence, 12-month range 182.00p-148.00p. The investor specialising in Berlin residential real estate says its overall portfolio value is up by 0.6% on a like-for-like per square metre basis in the first half of 2025. The firm says it is on track to achieve its previously announced target of EUR50 million annualised condominium sales rate by the end of the financial year. "The progress achieved during the first half of 2025 has positioned Phoenix Spree Deutschland strongly for the remainder of the year and beyond. We are seeing good demand in the Berlin condominium market, with sales prices remaining robust and volumes exceeding expectations," says Chair Robert Hingley.

Blencowe Resources PLC, up 1.5% at 4.67p, 12-month range 5.50p-2.55p. The mineral explorer and developer signs a non-binding agreement for the offtake of natural fine flake concentrate from its Orom-Cross graphite project with Perpetuus Advanced Materials Ltd. The agreement covers 19,000 tonnes of fine flake graphite over an initial five-year term. It says volumes are likely to rise further as "PAM leads the way globally in manufacturing plasma-treated, surface engineered graphenes and sub-micron particles for commercial uses". Executive Chair Cameron Pearce says: "This offtake agreement is one of the most significant to date for Orom-Cross in that it provides substantial sales of fine flake concentrate into a leading western buyer. Western markets are currently paying considerably more per tonne for fine flake concentrate than Asian markets so the more western contracts we can bring in the better."

SMALL-CAP - LOSERS
----------
Predator Oil & Gas Holdings PLC, down 31% at 3.80p, 12-month range 11.50p-1.80p. The Morocco and Trinidad-focused oil and gas company successfully perforates 'A' sand section at the MOU-3 well at Guercif, Morocco. The firm says the perforations may extend close to, but not beyond, the maximum limit of probable formation damage caused during drilling. It says the well is currently filled with nitrogen and shut in to allow any potential slow pressure build-up and clean-up close to the possible limits of the formation damage. "Whilst the perforating has been successful, thus far it has not been able to completely overcome the formation damage to allow the well to flow. Pressure build up in the well is being monitored to see if with time the damage can be overcome," says Chief Executive Officer Paul Griffiths. "We will seek to execute the MOU-6 drilling programme at the earliest opportunity this year in order to maintain momentum."
----------
Cel AI PLC, down 22% at 0.14p, 12-month range 0.94p-0.03p. The artificial intelligence agent deployment platform says it intends to move its listing to the Aquis Stock Exchange Growth Market from the London Main Market. It expects admission to the AQSE Growth Market to occur on September 1. "By shifting our listing, we unlock the flexibility needed to execute our bitcoin treasury strategy aggressively - an essential component of our long-term vision. This transition ensures we can fully pursue our strategic goals without the constraints of the current listing framework, strengthening both our balance sheet resilience and our ability to create lasting shareholder value," says Executive Chair Olivia Edwards.
