Under the deal, RC365 will deploy its RC3.0 payment platform, including cryptocurrency acceptance functionality, for StarCruises customers. The one-year agreement, which renews automatically unless terminated, is expected to go live in June following user acceptance testing. RC365 says revenue will be generated through percentage-based transaction processing fees on merchant sales, with no minimum transaction commitments.
----------
PZ Cussons PLC, up 7.0% at 97.75 pence, 12-month range 65.09p-100.40p. Upgrades profit guidance for the financial year that ended May 31, reporting continued strong trading. The Manchester-based maker of consumer products such as Imperial Leather and Carex expects like-for-like annual revenue growth of around 6%, with reported revenue of about GBP540 million. Adjusted operating profit is now expected to be at or slightly above the upper end of its GBP53 million to GBP57 million guidance range, helped by trading momentum and stability in the Nigerian naira. PZ Cussons also expects net debt of less than GBP30 million, down by more than GBP80 million from financial 2025, largely due to the sale of its 50% stake in PZ Wilmar.
----------
Smiths News PLC, up 6.2% at 67.30 pence, 12-month range 54.00p-79.40p. Secures a long-term distribution contract with News UK, the publisher of the Sun and Times newspapers, extending its partnership through July 2037 and expanding its territories to become the exclusive national distributor of News UK's titles across Great Britain from July 2027. Smiths News says the deal is expected to add around GBP125 million in annual revenue from July 2027. Smiths News says it expects one-off implementation and transition costs in financial 2027 to support the network expansion, but it anticipates the investment will be earnings accretive from financial 2028. The company says it intends to maintain ordinary dividend guidance for financial 2026 and 2027 at or above current consensus estimates of 5.2p per share.
----------
Gfinity PLC, down 30% at 0.04 pence, 12-month range 0.03p-0.12p. Raises GBP250,000 through a subscription of 714.3 million new shares at 0.035p each to accelerate the commercialisation of its Connected IQ audience intelligence platform. The e-sports and digital media company says Connected IQ has a robust pipeline of opportunities with advertising agencies, while its Digital Media division delivered a steady first quarter and has a pipeline of gaming-related opportunities for the second half of the year.
----------
Frontier IP Group PLC, down 26% at 12.65 pence, 12-month range 10.00p-26.00p. Completes a placing and subscription at 12p per share, raising gross proceeds of GBP4.0 million before expenses.
