AIM round-up: Kinovo, Stanley Gibbons, Synairgen

*

London’s AIM Index has slipped a little today, but losses have been limited to less than four points with the junior market sitting at 897.09 by the bell.

  • Kinovo +26%
  • Stanley Gibbons +20%
  • Synairgen +17%
  • Actual Experiences -47%
  • Forward Partners -16%

Shares in specialist property services company Kinovo LON:KINO found themselves at the top of the board today, up some 26%. However with a 15% spread only a scattering of trades and no news, this £7m minnow does look like the day’s outlier. However the stock did come off a long way off the back of last month’s trading update – this is at least helping recover some of those losses.

Stanley Gibbons LON:SGI also had a strong day, reaching the bell some 20% higher. However having traded at all time lows at the end of last week, this just looks like some bargain hunting, with limited trade being reported and again a wide spread being quoted at the close.

A notable mention for Synairgen LON:SNG which added 17% on the day. Again there’s no specific news here but the pharma sector in general has been finding some support and gains have been sufficient to propel the stock back to levels not seen since the release of earnings almost a month ago.

Actual Experiences LON:ACT was the day’s worst performer, down 47% after it announced a contract cancellation after the bell on Friday night. This came about off the back of a change in the customer’s circumstances and doesn’t reflect Actual’s offering, but management noted that the continuing viability of the business would be dependent on securing more sales. A further announcement will be made in due course.

Forward Partners LON:FWD slipped 16% off the back of its trading update and full year results which were released this morning. A weakness in investor confidence is slowing funding rounds for some of its portfolio companies, which is in turn dragging on valuations. The company expects to report a mid to high twenty percentage point decline in its venture portfolio valuation at the half year point.  Full year results are set to be issued by the month end.
