AIM news
The AIM Index stands at 642.49, having risen by an encouraging 8.3 per cent during September, albeit rallying more slowly than the 9.4 per cent gain posted over the course of August. However, although stories of ‘green shoots’ are to be found, downbeat news still abounds.
Recent significant share price losers of late include metals developer Triple Plate Junction, which toppled 44 per cent to 0.62p over the last month after revealing a cash constrained pull-out from its other interests to focus on its operations in Papua New Guinea. Debt management specialist Relax plunged 32 per cent to 13.5p, after revealing it too needed more cash, while European Islamic Investment Bank fell 22 per cent to 2.93p after admitting the ‘Middle East and the Islamic financial sector have not been immune’ to the global recession and that it had slipped from profits into losses of £16.1 million in the half to June.
Ukrainian rape-seed producer Landkom wilted 35 per cent to 10.5p after its chief executive resigned, and the shine came off ‘jeweller to the Beckhams’, Theo Fennell, which had enjoyed a recent resurgence since its eponymous founder returned to lead its recovery, with its shares diving by 28 per cent to 33p on news of £2 million annual losses.
