Order intake jumped by **one-third**, indicating growing demand for the company’s broadcast automation and media management solutions.\n\nFollowing the results, broker **Cavendish** raised its **full-year pre-tax profit forecast** from **£1.9 million to £2.4 million**, while holding revenue expectations steady at **£11.5 million**. The sharp share price rebound reflects renewed investor confidence in the company’s operational momentum and financial outlook.\n\n**EnergyPathways PLC (AIM:EPP)** was among the week’s top performers, soaring **30%** after announcing **Siemens Energy** and **Costain** as new partners in its flagship project.\n\nThe company is developing the **Marram Energy Storage Hub (MESH)**, a pioneering multi-technology **underground battery** located **11 miles off the coast of Lancashire**. The addition of prominent engineering names to its roster marks a significant step forward for the MESH project, which aims to support grid stability and the UK’s net-zero ambitions through large-scale energy storage.\n\n**Futura Medical PLC (AIM:FUM, OTC:FAMDF)** gained **26% over the past week**, continuing a sharp upward trend that has seen the stock **nearly double in value** since the **interim appointment of Lex Duggan** as CEO.\n\nDuggan, formerly head of corporate development at **Alliance Pharma**, has sparked renewed investor confidence as the company pushes forward with its flagship product — a **fast-acting erectile function gel**. The recent rally reflects optimism around both leadership direction and potential commercial traction for the treatment.\n\n**Pri0r1ty Intelligence Group (AIM: PR1)** climbed **12.2% to 4.15p** after launching a **Bitcoin Lightning Network Routing Node**, aimed at enabling **faster, low-cost Bitcoin transactions** for its customers.\n\nThe node will allow users to make real-time payments using the Lightning Network, with **Pri0r1ty earning routing fees** in return. The move strengthens the company’s position in crypto infrastructure and adds a new revenue stream. Shares were **volatile early in the session**, reflecting heightened investor interest in the firm’s expanding blockchain footprint.\n\n**Boku (AIM:BOKU)** gained **6.97% to 222.5p** after reporting a **one-third rise in interim revenues** to **at least $63 million**, driven by strong momentum in **digital wallet adoption**. Even after excluding the benefit of **higher client pricing during a launch phase**, revenue still grew by an impressive **27%**.\n\nThe company’s **own cash position** increased **16% to $87 million**, and **full-year pre-tax profit** is expected to reach **$33.8 million**. The update reinforced confidence in Boku’s scalable platform and its growing role in global mobile payments.\n\n**Metals One (LON:MET1)** rose **4.52% to 8.7795p** after announcing it has agreed to acquire a **75% stake in two U.S. companies** holding **uranium and vanadium claims** in **Colorado and Utah**. The seller, **Thor Energy (AIM:THR)**, saw its shares climb **5.26% to 0.5p** on the news.\n\nUnder the terms, Metals One will pay **£100,000 for exclusive rights** to the deal and issue **£1 million in shares** to secure the 75% stake. The company also holds a **12-month option** to acquire the remaining 25%. The agreement gives Metals One a foothold in the U.S. energy metals sector, while providing Thor with equity exposure to any future project upside.\n\n### **Fallers**\n\nIt was a bruising week for **Jangada Mines PLC (AIM:JAN)**, with shares tumbling **47%** by Friday’s close. The sell-off followed a **£800,000 fundraise** via a **heavily discounted and dilutive share placing**, which overshadowed otherwise positive news that the company is buying into Brazil’s **Paranaíta Gold Project**.\n\n**LifeSafe Holdings (AIM: LIFS)** saw its share price fall **18.5% to 5.5p** after reporting a sharp decline in **first-half revenues**, down from **£1.6 million to £900,000**. The drop was attributed to a **change in the company’s sales model** and disruption caused by an **unauthorised Amazon reseller in the US**.\n\nLosses widened during the period, and **cash reserves** stood at just **£140,000** as of the end of June 2025. Despite the tough first half, **management remains hopeful** of securing **significant US orders** in the second half of the year to help turn performance around.\n\n**Benchmark Holdings (LON: BMK)** dropped **11.2% to 20.6p** after revealing the results of its **tender offer**, through which it repurchased **127.7 million shares at 25p**, amounting to **£31.9 million**.\n\nThis represented just **56.3% of the maximum** shares available for buyback, suggesting a **lower-than-expected level of shareholder participation**. The decline in share price reflects market disappointment following the partial uptake and the dilution impact of the remaining shares in circulation.\n\n**GEO Exploration (AIM: GEO)** slipped **5.26% to 0.18p** after announcing the completion of **electrical geophysical programmes** at its **Juno project**, which have **upgraded its potential as an Intrusion-Related Gold System (IRGS)**.\n\nThe company confirmed that **maiden drilling is scheduled to begin by the end of September**, marking a key milestone in the project’s development. Despite the operational progress, the share price weakened, likely reflecting broader market caution or profit-taking following earlier gains."}
