----------
SMALL-CAP WINNERS
----------
Arrow Global Group, up 13% at 214.50 pence, 12-month range 60p-306.8p. The firm, which buys debt from banks, credit card companies and telecommunications businesses, reported an "encouraging" final quarter of 2020, with improved prospects for 2021 trading. Arrow Global said it expects to resume dividend payments earlier than originally planned, with a final dividend in respect of year-end 2021. "Continued strong trading in the first weeks of 2021 means that we are increasingly confident of reducing leverage significantly by the end of the year. As a result, the Group now expects to be in a position to resume dividend payments ahead of plan," said Chief Executive Lee Rochford.

Paypoint, up 4.5% at 675.08, 12-month range 389p-1,079.97p. The payment services provider said revenue declined in its third financial quarter following cessation of its contract with Centrica's British Gas. Paypoint said underlying net revenue from continuing operations dropped 11% in the three months ended December 31 to GBP24.5 million from GBP27.5 million.

SMALL-CAP LOSERS
----------
Medica Group, down 3.5% at 125.50p, 12-month range 88p-160p. The teleradiology services firm said that, as previously announced, revenue in 2020 was hit by the Covid-19 pandemic. As restrictions eased following the March UK lockdown, NightHawk activity recovered strongly to pre-Covid-19 levels by mid-2020 with Elective revenue recovering more slowly. During the second lockdown, the recovery in Elective revenue slowed significantly but NightHawk continued to perform well. Medica said it expects revenue for the year of GBP36.8 million, down 21% year-on-year.
----------
EnQuest, down 3.4% at 13.33p, 12-month range 7.07p-29.67p. The oil and gas production company said it has completed the acquisition of a 41% equity interest in the Bressay oil field in the UK North Sea for GBP2.2 million. EnQuest had said it was purchasing the stake in the Bressay field back in July. As a result of the completion of the deal, Norway's Equinor has a 41% non-operated stake in Bressay, and Chrysaor Holdings has retained an 18% interest.
