BRCK Group PLC, up 30% at 53.3p, 12-month range 39.20p-71.80p. BRCK receives a takeover approach from Atlas Holdings LLC at 65p per share. "The board reviewed this proposal carefully with its financial advisers and unanimously concluded that it fundamentally undervalued BRCK. Accordingly, the board rejected this proposal," it adds. The offer values BRCK at GBP209.4 million. It has a market capitalisation of around GBP171 million.

----------

Videndum PLC, up 12% at 370p, 12-month range 1.75p-430.00p. The broadcasting hardware and software provider says its pretax loss from continuing operations in 2025 narrows to GBP70.0 million from GBP91.3 million, though revenue falls 19% to GBP228.3 million from GBP280.7 million. The "rate of revenue decline moderated throughout the year", it says, easing to 8% in the second half from 25% in the first. Chair Stephen Harris adds: "For FY 2026, the board expects good revenue growth."

----------

RC Fornax PLC, up 12% at 8.15p, 12-month range 5.80p-56.00p. The defence sector-focused consultancy hails "a sustained level of order intake" in the second quarter to February 28. Orders during the period totalled GBP1.9 million. "This momentum has continued into the current financial quarter and during March 2026," it adds. Orders secured in March amount to GBP1.4 million.

----------

Peel Hunt Ltd, up 6.3% at 110.00 pence, 12-month range 70.00p-125.00p. The investment bank expects revenue over GBP140 million for the year that ends Tuesday, and profit "materially ahead of market expectations". Looking ahead, it says: "The war in the Middle East has increased geopolitical uncertainty, which has pushed energy prices higher and prompted central banks to reassess inflation risks. While the duration and ultimate impact of these developments remain unclear, they are weighing on market conditions and may affect the level and timing of transactional activity. During this period of uncertainty and market volatility, Peel Hunt remains focused on supporting clients, while maintaining disciplined cost management and capital allocation."
