Sosandar notes "continued momentum" in its own site performance but reports Marks & Spencer continues to "trade with stock levels below the prior year" after a cyber attack. Sosandar's collection is also sold on the M&S platform. Sosandar says its third quarter performance, which coincided with Christmas, was in line with management expectations and it is on track to meet the market view for the full-year.

Science Group PLC - Cambridge, England-based science and technology consultancy - It characterises its 2025 performance as one of "strong profitability", in spite of a "volatile" market backdrop. "The resilient operating performance was further enhanced by the return on investment related to the H1 corporate activity. As a result, reported profit before tax and earnings per share will be substantially higher than the prior year, reflecting the investment gain," Science Group adds, noting it now predicts record adjusted operating profit, "ahead of board expectations". In 2024, pretax profit surged to GBP14.7 million, from GBP7.6 million in 2023. Adjusted operating profit rose to GBP21.5 million in 2024 from GBP20.5 million.

With Coalswitch, it has been working alongside Indigenous Canadian Energy to progress plans for a black pellet production facility in Poland. "Discussions are ongoing, and the board believes this partnership-led approach represents a capital-efficient route to commercial deployment of CoalSwitch at scale," Active Energy says. In addition, Active Energy reports it continues to build its distributed renewable energy platform, which is focused on rooftop solar and battery storage solutions. It also makes "significant progress" in developing energy-efficient digital infrastructure assets in UAE. Finally, it notes it has adopted a "disciplined digital asset treasury strategy". "Approximately 30% of the group's working capital has been allocated to a diversified crypto strategy. In addition, the board has agreed that any excess in-house crypto mining capacity may be utilised to mine and hold bitcoin for the group's treasury. This approach is intended to provide a long-term store of value and act as a hedge against inflation and currency fluctuations, while maintaining appropriate governance and risk controls," Active Energy explains.

The submission was made at the end of last year. "This EIA covers the entire Cinovec development and supports the outcomes of the recently completed definitive feasibility study, which confirmed Cinovec as a long-life, large-scale European lithium project with a 26+ year mine life and forecast production of approximately 37,500 tonnes per annum of battery-grade lithium carbonate," EMH says. "The Ministry of the Environment will now commence its formal review of the EIA. The documentation is expected to be made publicly available for consultation later this quarter, with the ministry to determine the timing for public submissions and hearings."

I am pleased to report that recent wells have responded positively to production tubing replacements, and our current corporate production is in line with the November 2025 forecast as we begin the new year," Chief Executive Officer Manuel Pablo Zuniga-Pflucker says. In November, it announced it suspended its quarterly dividend due to project delays. Zuniga-Pflucker said at the time that the firm is facing "a number of challenges". PetroTal announces Tuesday that it has named Jorge Osorio as chief operating officer, overseeing "all major aspects of the company's operations and strategic execution, with responsibility for field operations, engineering, production, and drilling".

Westmount Chair Gerard Walsh says: "We are delighted to see this significant follow-on transaction on the back of the recent reawakening of interest in our offshore Falkland Islands and Guyanese assets.
