10 Companies to follow in 2026

2025 was the year AIM showed its resilience, rising nearly 10pc after enduring years of higher interest rates in the wake of the pandemic and continued economic and geopolitical uncertainty.

It’s been the market’s best year for fundraising since the boom year of 2021: by the end of August AIM-listed companies had raised £2.1bn from IPOs and secondary fundraisings (shares sold by current shareholders rather than issued by the company itself), more than double the £889m raised in the previous 12 months.

AIM has continued to dominate Europe’s growth markets, accounting for 53pc of all capital raised across European small cap indices over the past five years: more money than its five nearest European rivals combined. IPOs on London’s junior market rebounded through the 2024/25 financial year, 16 companies listing so far against just nine last year. The average amount of new money raised per IPO was £9.9m, up from the low of £6.8m recorded in 2022/23.

And there are good grounds for believing the revival will gather pace in 2026. The brutal shakeout over the last few years has left a core of higher quality, better capitalised companies better able to inspire investor confidence. As a junior market AIM is particularly well positioned to benefit from the prospect of lower interest rates that will ease the debt burden of smaller companies. And it is a particular focus of ongoing efforts by policy makers (across all major parties) and regulators to improve the competitiveness of London’s markets and direct more investment into UK assets.

In his annual review of the small cap sector Investors’ Chronicle associate editor Simon Thompson notes that UK equities continue to be undervalued relative to US shares, particularly AIM-listed tech. Plenty of opportunities exist for canny stockpickers amid the many small caps with low earnings multiples.

The prospect of lower interest rates and – in due course – market reform augur well for AIM’s continued recovery in 2026. And though investors rightly look to the junior market for short-term gains they should not lose sight of one of the most well observed market patterns, frequently highlighted by TMS: the tendency of small caps to outperform their larger counterparts over time. The pattern has asserted itself in recent history, small and mid-sized companies generating a return premium over their larger peers of 6pc between 2009 and 2021. AIM was designed precisely to provide a framework for small cap growth over extended periods.

For investors willing to do their homework, manage risk, spread their money over different sectors, and hold on to promising shares through tough times, AIM offers as many opportunities as it ever has.

Yes, Lucain and Brighty1. Make that 75p per share today. Wow, what a great stock to be invested in. This has risen X18 since I bought in and I've recently started top slicing this stock and snapping up ALRT shares for hopefully another X18!!! Big news about to start coming from ALRT in 2026. But, I agree 100p a share looks possible here and will keep a tidy holding in ROAD as the growth potential here is still huge. Happy Christmas all ROAD shareholders.

ROAD keeps on growing. Details below of further progress announced today via RNS.

In summary, ROAD is still below the radar of most investors. The astute few know where this is heading! ROAD is fast becoming one of the best share risers over the last 2 years in my portfolio. Bought at 3p a share and this week it hit 74p a share and is still rising. 100p inbound.....

* ROAD is pleased to announce that it has entered into a binding agreement (the "Share Purchase Agreement") for the acquisition of the entire issued share capital of Gardner Retail Ltd, together with its subsidiaries, ("Gardner Retail") for an estimated net consideration of £17.8 million (the "Acquisition").

* The Gardner Retail portfolio comprises of six strategically located, premium-quality petrol station forecourts in Southwest England. The Board recognises significant opportunities to unlock additional value through further development of the sites to generate long-term cash flows. Furthermore, the Acquisition lays the foundation to grow the Company's market position in the petrol forecourt sector and will provide a scalable platform from which to pursue further consolidation opportunities.

* In order to fund the net consideration payable, under the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to amend the terms of the existing facility agreement with Tarncourt Properties Limited ("Tarncourt") in order to increase the maximum size of the facility available to the Company.

Charles Dickson, Chief Executive Officer commented:

"This transaction marks the start of a new chapter in the execution of our strategy to build a high-quality portfolio of modern roadside retail assets and is a significant step in enhancing our competitive positioning. Our highly experienced team and strong track record in realising value from real estate assets will play a key role in unlocking future value.

We are delighted to welcome the Gardner team to the Roadside family and we look forward to working with them to achieve our future goals and create value for our shareholders."

Good luck, Brighty
