AIM round-up: Safestay, Eqtec, Abingdon Health

*

The AIM Index spent Tuesday’s session trading in a narrow range, finishing less than one point higher at 859.4.

  • Safestay +30%
  • Eqtec +20%
  • Abingdon Health +15%
  • Baron Oil -20%
  • China Non Ferrous Gold -18%

Hostel operator Safestay [LON:SSTY] topped the board in what was ultimately a rather subdued session, advancing 30%. A trading statement this morning noted that revenues were ahead of market expectations, marking a return to near-normal conditions post-pandemic and adding that further upside potential existed. The group is sitting on £4.8m worth of cash following two property sales.


Eqtec [LON:EQT] added 20% on the day. There’s no formal news but elevated levels of trading were seen during the session. A previously signed heads of terms agreement with other parties did have today noted as a long stop date, so this could trigger some payout.

Abingdon Health [LON:ABDX] advanced 15%, again with a trading update being published. The company is projecting aggressive revenue growth as it transitions away from its COVID legacy and notes that it has £4.4m cash on hand. Management believe the company will be cashflow positive in FY24.

Baron Oil [LON:BOIL] was the biggest faller, off by a comparatively modest 20% on the day. The company released its competent persons statement on a drilling site off Timor Leste and evidently this failed to impress investors. The stock has now given back gains accrued mid-month.

China non-Ferrous Gold [LON:CNG] was one of the day’s bigger fallers, off around 18% in late trade although made something of a recovery in the closing auction helped along by sitting on a very wide spread. The stock struggled last week off the back of news that the impact of heavy snowfall would disrupt production for as long as a month. There’s no update out and trade was distinctly lumpy – will the disruption prove even worse?
