Small-cap and AIM movers in focus:
----------
Caledonian Holdings, up 27% at 1.625p, 12-month range 1.15p-6.00p. The investing company's wholly-owned subsidiary Aspire Commerce Group Ltd seals the commercial launch of its enhanced multi-currency business current account offering, a "key commercial milestone". "With the enhanced proposition now commercially available, Aspire's focus will move to growing its customer base through direct and partnership-led distribution, increasing transaction volumes and converting its existing trade finance opportunities into recurring revenues," Caledonian says.
----------
Mortgage Advice Bureau Holdings, down 18%, 12-month range 379.00p-818.00p. The mortgage broker now expects 2026 adjusted pretax profit of GBP38.0 million, below consensus of GBP43.4 million. "The housing and mortgage market backdrop has become more challenging over the summer, with global developments adding to uncertainty over inflation and the path of borrowing costs. The group does not expect a meaningful recovery in purchase activity in the short term. UK purchase transactions were 3% lower in the first seven months of 2026, while mortgage approvals for house purchase fell by 15% year-on-year in July," MAB explains, citing data from HMRC and the Bank of England.
----------
Anpario PLC, down 11% at 485p, 12-month range 391.11p-580.00p. The maker of animal feed additives reports improved half-year earnings, but warns of a tough trading backdrop amid the Middle East conflict. Pretax profit in the half-year to June 30 expanded 11% to GBP3.8 million from GBP3.4 million 12 months earlier, with revenue rising 69% to GBP24.3 million from GBP22.7 million. "The impact from the ongoing Iran conflict is being felt the most across our Asia region with lower sales compared to the prior year, which has softened the start to the second half for the group. We expect these challenges to continue for the remainder of the year," Ampario cautions.
----------
Gym Group, up 7.0% at 206.5p, 12-month range 131.20p-220.00p. It says it expects annual profit at the top end of market forecasts, amid a more favourable outlook for costs. The gym operator says pretax profit in the first half of 2026 rose 48% to GBP4.9 million from GBP3.3 million, while revenue climbed 10% to GBP133.1 million from GBP121.0 million. Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation grew 10% to GBP53.0 million from GBP48.3 million, and less normalised rent, it amounted to GBP30.8 million, up 12% from GBP27.4 million. Gym Group says it is on track for 3% like-for-like revenue growth for the full year. Like-for-like cost growth is now expected to be at the lower end of a guided range of 3% to 4%. As a result, it sees adjusted Ebitda less normalised rent at the top end of the current analysts' forecasts, which it puts at GBP60.5 million to GBP62.0 million. This would represent an improvement from GBP56.7 million in 2025.
----------
Made Tech Group, up 5.0% at 48.30p, 12-month range 26.00p-48.48p. Made Tech has been selected on a list of supplier to three lots of a framework under a Met Office programme. The Met Office is the UK's weather and climate service. "Made Tech was successful in all three lots for which it tendered, providing the group with potential future contract wins as contracts are awarded over the four-year term," it says, adding that no contracts have been awarded yet.
