SMALL-CAP - LOSERS
----------
Amigo Holdings, down 14% at 11.81p, 12-month range 4.84p-35.59p. The guarantor loans provider says the UK Financial Conduct Authority has decided to extend the scope of its current probe so that it can investigate whether Amigo appropriately handled complaints after May 20 and whether Amigo deployed sufficient resources to address complaints in accordance with the voluntary requirement. The probe was first launched to investigate the Amigo creditworthiness assessment process and the governance and oversight of the process. The FCA investigation will consider whether complaints have been handled appropriately and whether customers have been treated fairly. Amigo says it will continue to cooperate fully with the FCA.
----------
Bakkavor Group, down 3.2% at 102p, 12-month range 48.5p-116.8p. The fresh prepared food provider posts drop in annual earnings as consumers worked from home during pandemic. For 2020, revenue falls 4.9% to GBP1.79 billion from GBP1.89 billion in 2019, and pretax profit is down to GBP44.2 million from GBP43.8 million. Says dividend payment will remain under review until trading improves. Looking ahead, says with lockdown restrictions in the UK continuing into spring, the short-term trading environment remains uncertain, but Bakkavor is encouraged by the way consumers have returned to its fresher, healthier, and more convenient foods each time restrictions have been lifted.
