London’s AIM index is running into the close slightly up on the day, although at 4.15pm the upside is less than one point, leaving the market at 1245.03
- Ridgecrest PLC up 27%
- Mercantile Ports up 22%
- Kropz down 39%
- Best of the Best down 31%
A slightly earlier – and briefer – than usual cut today, but Ridgecrest LON:RDGC is top of the board, up 27% at 4pm, with reports of stake building in the business lending some support.
Mercantile Ports & Logistics [LON:MPL] was the second biggest riser, adding 22% off the back of a restructured debt facility and board appointment this morning. The stock was notable for elevated volumes of trade.
Kropz LON:KRPZ was sitting at the foot of the board running into the close with news of equity draw down facilities evidently weighing on sentiment. Shares sat 39% lower on vastly higher that usual volumes.
Best of the Best LON:BOTB issued full year results today and despite showing some solid improvements in revenues, shares still slumped. The company has had a bumper year but the return to work and an end to lockdowns seems to be taking a toll on prospects, leaving shares 31% lower at the close.
