Mark Watson-Mitchell - 25.09.2026 Catching companies when major changes are underway can be very speculative, however there may well be a good chance of capital gains for investors taking a view on the Venture Life Group (LON:VLG) – especially ahead of its Final Results next Tuesday, 29th September. Capitalised at just £81m, after an early May dip to only 54p. the group’s shares, now 67.50p, are edging towards their year’s High of 72p - it could be just the right time to ju

Mark Watson-Mitchell – 24.09.2026 Within days we should be seeing an announcement from Winvia Entertainment (LON:WVIA) declaring its Interim Results for the first half of its 2026 Trading Year. I expect the figures to be good and the accompanying statement should be positive enough to kick the group’s shares up in reaction. The £254m-capitalised group is a technology-led entertainment business, focused on two discrete fast-growing channels, being the large and highly fragme

Mark Watson-Mitchell - 24.09.2026 Building Great Brands Next Tuesday, 29th September, will see AG Barr (LON:BAG), announce its Interim Results for the 26 weeks ended 1st August – the question is whether they will show significant enough advances in the group’s business. Early last month the £660m-capitalised multi-beverage business, with a broad portfolio of market-leading UK brands including core brands IRN-BRU, Rubicon and Boost, noted that the benefits from integration

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

Mark Watson-Mitchell - 23.09.2026 Expertise that drives enterprise Next Monday, 28th September, Christie Group (LON:CTG) will announce its Interim Results to end-June this year. Capitalised at £50.4m the group is a leading provider of Professional & Financial Services and Stock & Inventory Systems & Services to the healthcare, hospitality, leisure, medical, childcare & education and retail sectors. In its mid-June AGM Update the company reported that it had made a good st

Mark Watson-Mitchell - 22.09.2026 A sign that should always please investors is when a fund-raising is ‘oversubscribed’ by both existing and a large number of new institutional investors. Such was the case with Avingtrans (LON:AVG) when in the second week of July it sought to raise £21m of fresh cash to help fund various parts of its business. It provides Avingtrans with the resources to accelerate its US expansion plans for the expansion of a Michigan facility, a key strat

Mark Watson-Mitchell - 21.09.2026 It is going to take some time for ASOS (LON:ASC) to return to making a consistent operating profit – however that time span is fast reducing with some analysts suggesting profits within two to three years. Before the end of this month, possibly within days, we could well be seeing the £504m-capitalised online fast-fashion retail group announcing its Trading Update for the year to end-August. The transformation process now underway is to tur

Mark Watson-Mitchell - 18.09.2026 Cohort is a group of like-minded technology companies operating in the defence and security markets Next Thursday, 24th September, Cohort (LON:CHRT) will hold its AGM to approve its 2026 Report & Accounts, ahead of which I look forward to reading the group’s AGM Trading Update. Just over a month ago its shares were trading at over 1450p each, they have since eased to around 1140p before picking up over the last week to 1195p. I believe th

Mark Watson-Mitchell - 16.09.2026 Next Monday, 21st September, the £301m-capitalised Elixirr International (LON:ELIX) will declare its Interim Results – they will be good. Elixirr has established itself as a global, award-winning consultancy challenging the ‘usual’ consultancies in delivering innovative and bespoke solutions to a repeat, globally recognised client base. The firm provides tailored, research-driven solutions covering the full spectrum from boardroom strategy

Mark Watson-Mitchell - 17.09.2026 Next Tuesday, 22nd September, Luceco plc (LSE:LUCE) will declare its Interim Results to end-June – they will be good and could show that the next year will be better than market expectations. The Group is a leading designer and manufacturer of residential and commercial electrification products and systems. The shares of the £325m-capitalised business, which have ranged in price from 123p to 292p over the last year, are now trading at aroun

Mark Watson-Mitchell - 15.09.2026 The Interim Results being announced tomorrow, Wednesday, 16th September, from the CT Automotive Group (LON.CTA) will not look too clever. However, the reactive share price may well create an excellent opportunity to buy into a cheap stock. In early August, the £25m-capitalised company, which is a designer and supplier of automotive interior components, warned investors that its first-half underlying pre-tax profit will be materially below t

Mark Watson-Mitchell - 14.09.2026 We created the online card and gifting market and we continue to define where it goes next. Look out on Wednesday morning (15th September) for the pre-AGM Trading Update being issued by Moonpig Group (LON:MOON), the leading online greeting card and gifting platform in the UK and the Netherlands. The single cards market is large and continues to grow steadily, driven primarily by increases in average selling price. And that is just what Mo

Mark Watson-Mitchell - 10.09.2026 Next Tuesday, 15th September, Solid State (LON:SOLI) will be holding its AGM to approve its 2026 Report & Accounts. The £109m-capitalised group is a specialist value-added component supplier and design-in manufacturer of computing, power and communications products. It supplies the commercial, industrial and military markets with durable components, assemblies and manufactured units for use in specialist and harsh environments. The group’s

Mark Watson-Mitchell - 09.09.2026 MIX with the BEST Tomorrow morning, Thursday, 10th September, Fever-Tree Drinks (LON:FEVR), the world's leading supplier of premium carbonated mixers, will announce its Interim Results to end-June – they could certainly help to put some fizz into the group’s share price. However there really is a mixed bag of analyst opinions about the merits of the group’s shares, currently 807p. I was more than interested to note that in the last week t

Mark Watson-Mitchell - 08.09.2026 Last night, after an almost trebled daily volume was recorded, the shares of Concurrent Technologies (LON:CNC) closed up 15p at 280p. Having touched 285p at one stage, that was over 52% higher since my feature on the group, on Thursday, 9th April, this year, when they were trading a clear 100p lower in price. The £243.5m-capitalised supplier to the defence, aerospace, telecoms and medical sectors, received a good market reception to the ann

The company is a designer and manufacturer of leading-edge computer products, systems, and mission-critical solutions used in high-performance markets by some of the world's major OEMs. Although market dynamics support the £213m-capitalised group’s long-term growth momentum

Mark Watson-Mitchell - 01.09.2026 Next Monday, 7th September, SigmaRoc (Lon:SRC) will announce its Interim Results to end-June – they will show an impressive rise in both profits and its operating margins. The European lime and minerals group, which is capitalised at some £1.4bn, is a long-time favourite of mine and with its shares now at 126p I foresee an early rise towards the 153p peak reached in February this year. The Business SigmaRoc is a quoted European lime and min

Mark Watson-Mitchell - 28.08.2026 The shares of this £86m-capitalised franchise business are currently trading too cheaply, especially considering its expected growth. At 10am next Wednesday, 2nd September, Cake Box Holdings (LON:CBOX) will be holding its AGM for approval of its 2026 Report & Accounts. They certainly look to be a tasty purchase! The Business From a single concept store in 2008, Cake Box, which listed on AIM in 2018, has grown to a franchise estate of 300+ l
