Small-cap and AIM movers in focus:
----------
Contango Holdings PLC, up 19% at 0.48 pence, 12-month range 0.40p-1.20p. Publishes a circular seeking shareholder approval for its previously announced GBP5.0 million subscription by strategic investors, which would give them a combined 50.1% stake in the company.
----------
Victoria PLC, up 18% at 68.55 pence, 12-month range 19.48p-111.00p. Agrees a comprehensive refinancing that will reduce senior secured debt and preferred share liabilities by more than GBP300 million, cut annual finance costs and payment-in-kind dividends by around GBP34 million, and extend debt maturities through new 2031 notes. The flooring manufacturer also says trading since the start of the financial year has been encouraging, with year-on-year revenue growth driven by market share gains in the UK and Australia, while management actions helped mitigate disruption from the Iran conflict.
----------
Quadrise PLC, down 28% at 0.99 pence, 12-month range 0.91p-5.00p. Conditionally raises GBP1.2 million through a placing and subscription at 1.0p per share and launches a retail offer to raise up to a further GBP1.2 million on the same terms. The London-based fuel and biofuel company says the proceeds will support customer trials and commercial deployment, targeting a GBP3.6 million cash contribution by June 2028 and positive cash flow during financial 2028-29.
----------
Boku Inc, down 33% at 93.50 pence, 12-month range 90.00p-250.00p. Warns 2026 revenue and adjusted Ebitda will miss market expectations due to delays to new payment connections and slower-than-expected merchant onboarding. The mobile payments firm now expects revenue of USD135 million to USD142 million and adjusted Ebitda of USD38 million to USD42 million, below consensus forecasts of USD155 million and USD49.9 million, respectively. Boku says it intends to extend its share buyback programme after repurchasing USD23.5 million of shares in the first half, and remains confident in its longer-term growth pipeline.
----------
Jet2 PLC, up 8.1% at 1,466.00 pence, 12-month range 980.00p-1,855.00p. Launches a GBP250 million share buyback and raises its annual dividend after reporting record revenue of GBP7.48 billion and a record 20.8 million passengers for the year ended March 31. Although pretax profit fell 7.1% to GBP551.0 million, the holiday airline and tour operator says trading is in line with expectations, bookings have strengthened as geopolitical uncertainty has eased, and it remains confident in its medium-term outlook, with its new operations at London Gatwick airport performing ahead of expectations.
