Surface Transforms LON:SCE took something of a beating during Thursday’s trade, but this was the result of a deeply discounted funding round which completed this morning. New shares were offered at a 66% discount and at midday the stock was sitting some 63% lower. There is however a big customer pipeline in place – the offer may have been distressed, but does it actually show the sheer flexibility of capital markets?
Argentex LON:AGFX was also struggling at midday, off 21% in the wake of a trading update and funding news. Financials showed margin reduction as taking a hit on performance, resulting in a significant trimming of dividends.
