- Small Cap Stocks: Strategic Minerals, Clean Power Hydrogen, Deltic Energy
- Small Cap Stocks: UK Oil & Gas, Jaywing, Mosman Oil
- Small Cap Stocks: Genedrive, Deltic Energy, UK Oil & Gas
Petro Matad [LON:MATD] was in second place, up 21%. The last couple of weeks have been somewhat turbulent for the stock but support was in evidence today despite the lack of any fresh news. Volumes were however down from recent levels.
Mirriad Advertising LON:MIRI gets the notable mention, up 17%. The company found itself sold off heavily at the start of the week in what by all accounts looked like a panic exit. There’s no news out but perhaps some real value is perceived down here.
Myanmar Investments LON:MIL sat 36% lower at the bell, pushing it into last place. This is however a minnow of a company, with very few trades going through. The downside barely exceeds the spread.
Mosman Oil LON:MSMN was in second to last place, off 30%. However the company completed a share placement this morning, with the discount reflecting the value of the new equity. The £300,000 raised will be deployed across a number of initiatives including extending well developments in addition to funding working capital.
