Dearg Doom

Renalytix #RENX Share Price 5.6p (-5.8%) FY26 results: revenue flat at $3m, commercial test revenue down, losses persist. Quest offers growth potential, but profit per test remains unclear. Cash burn increases the risk of another placing in 2027. Testing volumes must ramp up quickly! Watch4Now!

BRCK #BRCK Share Price 43.86p (-10.5%) Cavendish cuts FY27 EPS to 6.6p (from 8.2p). BRCK guides adj EBITDA c£45m. Net debt forecast to rise from £60.5m to £85.8m, including the Jacksons deal. Divi 3.6p vs 6.6p EPS UK housebuilding recovery still uncertain. Operational gearing works both ways!

Fool me once, shame on Hunting. Fool me twice... Hunting #HTG Share Price: 377p (-11%) FY26 EBITDA guidance cut again, to $128-133m from $138-141m in August. Middle East conflict and slower Electronics and Dearborn units cited. Next update 19 Jan 2027. SP recent rise fooled. No position.

Georgia Capital #CGEO Share Price 4,350p (+3.3%) Encouraging 9M results: NAV/share +28.6%. Portfolio values rose across banking, pharmacy, healthcare & insurance. Net cash strengthened; buyback extended. Private-asset exit liquidity remains the key risk. A Core Long Term Holding.

Uber #UBER Share Price $66.14 Another top up. Building LT position. On November 4th, 2026 3rd Qtr Results Due Uber guiding Adj EPS $0.84–$0.88. Ideally $0.90 or better. StoneCo $STNE Share Price $8.20 (-1.5%) Reckon the fall in the share price from $11.48 overdone. Bought as a trade for now.

Shoe Zone #SHOE Share Price 69.7p (-5.8%) Headwinds: weak demand, slow start, rising costs, weaker £/$; margins at risk. Tailwinds: £15.1m cash, store cuts. But lower stock/capex boosted cash; warehouse clearance won't recur. Zeus FY27 EPS(f) 1.7p = 33 P/E Optimistic? Hmm.. Best to wait 6 months

Self Note: Avoid, flashy stories being pumped! Better to follow a mgmt team steadily building a moat. 🏰 ​Choose clean accounts and a 5–10 year roadmap over PR hype.💡 Judge an investment on what's genuinely achievable, rather than on a rosy picture of what might be acheived. A reminder lesson.

👞 Shoe Zone #SHOE Share Price 74p (pre-open) A tough FY26 Revenue fell 4.5% to £142.4m Adj £1m loss vs £2.4m profit last year. Product margin up to 63.1%. Net cash rose to £15.1m. But autumn/winter trading slower than expected. Cash cushion helps—but where’s the recovery? Worrying '27 outlook!

UBER $UBER Share Price $66.25 Restarting a new position with Uber's strong growth and cash generation. Shares have taken a hit amid Instacart sale speculation and competition from DoorDash. I’m betting on the core business—not a takeover. The risk? Management overpaying for growth.

Yes, bought more Nu Holdings $NU at $11.75. Also, treated myself to another slice of Dlocal $DLO, partly affected by its Brazil exposure. Watching carefully. Letting a short time pass before buying MercadoLibre $MELI ~$1588 $UBER UBER @66.30 is also on my radar for a new position. A Busy Day.

🇧🇷 Brazilian stocks are sliding amid election uncertainty, with the Real down 8.8% against the US dollar. Panic or opportunity as trading opens? Nu Holdings $NU always interested me, but plenty of other Brazilian stocks may now offer better value and sufficient margin of safety. Buying others also!

A busy Thursday! A few of today's companies with RNSs out this morning. Prices are shown in European Time. Subtract one hour for UK. I'm interested in Secure Trust Fund. A long term holding for me, regardless

IG Group #IGG Share Price: 928p (-0.9%) Added more shares to my core position. I'm a believer! Hoping tomorrow’s Strategy Update clears the clouds and sharpens the longer-term growth outlook. 🕑 2–4pm UK time — watch via webcast through IG Group Investor Relations. Looking forward to the update.🤞

Ashtead Technology #AT. Share Price 518p (-1.7%) Bargain or Value Trap? Ember's 4th approach values the shares at 615p in cash. Yet the price has slipped Deadline 21 Oct, 5pm. Is the gap to 615p an opportunity—or does the market fear the bid may fail? What would SP be worth if Ember walked away?

How much market adjustment is needed to settle markets? Are we there yet? Unlikely. I'm feeling uncomfortable.

Self Note: Ever notice how podcasters can suddenly pitch the same stock after months of silence? ​Once a few voices repeat a story, it quickly becomes accepted wisdom. But when the noise peaks, the hype phase fades quickly. Real Research or just Copycat Chatter? Hmm...

Cerillion #CER What!!! l Scurry fast for any RNSs missed! None that were relevant to be seen. Logged onto my broker to get a quote price. Thankfully, all seemed normal. Bid/Offer 680p/700p. A frightening few moments. Any similar stories anyone?

discoverIE #DSCV Share Price 894p (+1.6%) [Another quiet masterclass in execution.] FY earnings upgraded, Q2 orders up 15%, and a solid 1.08x book-to-bill. When specialized industrial tech keeps compounding without missing a beat, you can sit back and let Nos speak for themselves..📈⚡ No Position

Audioboom #BOOM Share Price 485p (pre-open) ​Q3 Trading Update: • Revenue: $23.8M (+17%) • Adj. EBITDA: $2.2M (+89%), beating expectations • FY Guidance UPGRADED: EBITDA at least $7.7M ​High operational gearing & strong liquidity for M&A. Strong beat & raise trajectory. A Buy.

James Halstead #JHD Share Price: 128p (pre-open) FY26: PBT £48.2m, Rev £259.9m. Headwinds hit profits, but operating cash surged to £49.1m & cash reserves reached £75.7m. Delivered a milestone 50th consecutive dividend hike (8.95p). Defensive compounder & quality income core. No Position

ActiveOps #AOM Share Price: 120p (-46%) H1 revenue +21%, organic SaaS revenue +19% and organic ARR +14%. £19.6m cash, no debt. But a £3.8m ARR customer departure and weaker new business mean FY28 expectations are significantly reduced. Bargain or value trap? No Position. In no hurry either.

UBER $UBER Share Price: $71.71 (+2%) Capturing a short-term rally. Sold the recent jump in SP to buy back later. On Oct 6th, Uber agreed to buy ezCater ($2.3bn cash) to expand Uber Eats into corporate catering. But rising Treasury yields pressure growth valuations, so I'm reassessing risk/reward.

IG Group #IGG Share Price 943p (-1.8%) ​Pre-scheduled meeting Oct 8th Underdog is performing very well, with Q4 set to be its strongest qtr, coming close or just shy of target Market assumes IG hugely overpaid, but long term Underdog could become the bigger half A Core Holding getting bigger!

Nu Holdings $NU Share Price $14.84 (+10.5%) (pre-market) Pleased to see the SP recovery continuing. Move today looks very tied to Brazil's election first round. Markets reading a possible runoff win for Bolsonaro as business-friendly. Just watching the read-through. A Core Holding.

IG Group #IGG Share price 980p (-1%) Doubled my position since RNS! Yes, Q4 is guesswork. Q3 OTC retention fell to ~70% (~80% avg), and that's the swing factor. Underdog is growing well! Maybe, just short of the founders' payout targets, but that's fine for IG holders. Watch 8 and 22 Oct.

IG Group #IGG Share Price £9.86 (-22.6%) 70% OTC retention shock! But Underdog is quietly doing something rather different: Q3 revenue ~$105m, >100% YoY. And Q4 is seasonally the big quarter — >⅓ of 2025 revenue came then. The 8 Oct presentation really matters! I've kept adding. DYOR

IG Group #IGG Share Price 1007p (-21%) I'd looking for answers, not reassurance. As management says OTC retention will improve over the medium to long term, but... Tell me: — Why did it fall to 70%? — When does it normalise and where? — What does that mean for earnings beyond 2026? And ......

Nu Holdings $NU Share Price: $12.66 (+2.5%) Monday: "Oh no — NU might spend billions buying Monzo." Then Wednesday after hours: "No, we're not pursuing it." Share price recovering (in after hours) much of Monday's 10% fall. ​Relief rally unlocked! After Hours SP is $13.44 Expect SP to go higher

Toast ​$TOST Share Price; $29.41 (-3.5%) ​Chart might look like a falling knife, but looking past short-term price weakness, the fundamentals are hungry for growth: 📈 +22% Location Growth 📈 +25% ARR 📈 +28% Recurring GP ​Fair value for a future compounder. I'm topping up! 🍽️

Can't keep buying more UK companies without selling or reducing some others. Sold, Eleco, Ashtead Tech, DCC, Breedon, Aberdeen, Trainline, Brickability....

RNSs out this morning. Immediate reaction after the first 20 minutes.

Everplay #EVPL Share Price 423.5p (pre-open) Today’s RNS confirms the gaming boom is real: Wardogs ~3m copies in Early Access, Vietnam >1m Market already knew! Question is whether exceptional launch sales become a higher, durable earnings base I'm Watching, Not Chasing!
