SRT Marine awareness in operation Mark Watson-Mitchell - 02.10.2026 I always like to see ‘Company Insiders’ committing to their equities. So, when I noted a couple of months ago that Oliver Plunkett, a Non-Executive Director at SRT Marine Systems (LON:SRT) had added another 190,456 shares to his holding, paying 77.96p each for his purchase, I believe that it emphasised his confidence in the group. Plunkett is a board member of and CEO of the Ocean Infinity Group, the Company'

Mark Watson-Mitchell - -01.10.2026 Many investors in the £520m-capitalised communication products group Filtronic (LON:FTC) must be hoping for another big share price run like that enjoyed from end-March to end-May this year. It was in that period the market got over-excited about the US launch of the SpaceX IPO, taking any shares in companies with an extra-terrestrial connection to new price Highs. In those two months the shares of Filtronic, the designer and manufacturer

Mark Watson-Mitchell - 24.09.2026 Just seven weeks ago, on Friday 7th August, I profiled Ashtead Technology Holdings (LON:AT.) predicting that the group’s shares would climb 25% to 525p over the next year – well I was wrong and I was right! The then £337m-capitalised group’s shares were trading at 419p. The profile on the company, which is leading provider of subsea technology solutions to the global offshore energy sector, was ahead of its Interim Results being announced a

The US-bid for Ramsdens still shows through as the star performer, while Filtronic is looking to build up its price recovery after recent results.

Mark Watson-Mitchell - 22.07.2026 Even at my age I am still being told that I am too early. Just over three weeks ago, on Monday 6th July, I called the market higher. Then it was just 253 points away from hitting a new All-Time High. Standing at 10681.78 it was, in my view, just a fraction away to that 10,934.90 that was scored at the end of February this year. I did conclude my article by stating that Donald throwing a wobbly could throw its progress off course. And he did -

Mark Watson-Mitchell - 06.07.2026 There is a real strength beginning to show through in the UK Equity Market currently. With the FTSE100 Index standing at 10,681.78, as I write, it is only a few 253 points away from scoring a New High. A quieter Trump, an easier Hormuz, steeply falling oil prices ....... all are conditions that please the punters. Could that breakthrough occur within the next few days? It is more than possible! The rumbling on of the Farage business will soon

Mark Watson-Mitchell – 02.07.2026 Having risen from 145p to 480p on Thursday 21st May, the shares of Filtronic, in one of the UK markets ‘fliers’ in 2026, recorded an impressive 331% price gain for the SQC Research Recovery Portfolio. That increase was a reaction to the very strong investor interest surrounding the massive US IPO of SpaceX, to whom Filtronic is a key supplier. That significant ‘space sector’ push inevitably saw prices fall back after the float, with Filtro

Mark Watson-Mitchell - 01.06.2026 Overall, the SQC Research Market Recovery Portfolio is up 22.86% over the last 47 Trading Days, whilst the FTSE100 Index is up a mere 4.94% in the same period of time. Filtronic continues to lead, followed by Ramsdens, Currys, SigmaRoc, SRT Marine and then Chemring. Chemring has done well after SQC Research identified it as being a supplier to SpaceX, which is about to launch the world's largest-ever IPO. Its shares rose from 485p to 526p i
