#FORT Forterra complete the trio of UK listed brickmakers to issue Profit Warning ⚠️ after #IBST & #BRCK
“Lower sales volumes, together with reduced fixed-cost absorption following actions to align production with demand, have placed pressure on profitability”
EBITDA to be £50m
#TENG Interims read fine with record Profit pre Tax of £3.4m
The rollout of their digital platform to 1 million HSBC Premier customers contributed to +23% growth in active members
Cash pile of £11m reassuring
Good to see the years of engine building are now paying off👍
I hold
#DIA After rising +94% in the last year Dialight shares looked priced for perfection
However today’s Interims raise expectations “Group has the potential to significantly exceed current market expectations for net income for the full financial year”
Good to see but will they🚀?
#FTC A nice little $3m add on order for an existing US customer developing satellite communications 👍
‘Every little helps’ as the saying goes (& diversifiers from single customer risk with SpaceX)
I hold
#PTEC A nice start to Playtech shareholders day with an ahead of expectations (for adj EBITDA) TU today 👍
*and a bonus point for including what market expectations are
US strong, although competition is incoming
Brazil shutdown being absorbed but could be more impactful in 2027
I am reliably informed that next weeks Mello will be the best one yet
Tickets & the schedule are here:

*prices go up on Wednesday
I’ll be there both days so if it doesn’t spoil your enjoyment of the event I look forward to seeing you there 👌
#SEE KPI’s read well but the elephant in the room remains, the convertible loan notes
Today’s update tells us very little new “is continuing work on a longer-term extension and refinancing options for the existing Convertible Loan Notes with Magna”
Such a frustrating company 😠
#KNOS Interims & how nice to see a growing UK technology company 👍
Guides to inline overall with good growth in Digital Services (revenue +57%) & Healthcare strong
While the market may have been looking for an upgrade these results read well to me, good to see
Well that’s a week I’d rather forget -2.3% to be +14.6% YTD
⭐️ None 😢
🐶 Most! Predominantly Oil & Defence stocks
I rather sat on my hands this week & watched the markets (& my portfolio)🎢 ⤵️
Had a very nice couple of days in town talking markets & plus the 🏉 yesterday
#TTG Interesting to see DBay have now got a non Exec on the Board at TT Electronics 👀
Will this increase the likelihood of a bid from them? 🤔
Time will tell
I hold
Thanks to everyone who had a guess & the virtual trophy 🏆winner is @ActiveValue1
I was on the 9th floor Rooftop Bar of Soho 180 (& very nice it was too 🥂
#EAH Profit Warning ⚠️ due to lower pork prices in China
“Broadly in line” suggests a c10% miss
Other global markets are more resilient & £24m cash reassures but shareholders may wish to brace themselves for a rocky day
