SMALL-CAP - WINNERS

Aquila Services Group PLC, up 17% at 28.00 pence, 12-month range 20.00p - 30.00p. In the six months ended September 30, reports a total profit of GBP244,000, down slightly from GBP247,000 the previous year. Revenue jumps to GBP5.9 million from GBP4.9 million. Declares an increased interim dividend of 0.25 pence per share, up 25% from 0.20p a year prior. Chair Derek Joseph says the half-year results are "encouraging given the transition that was needed as the pandemic restrictions were lifted." Joseph explains the housing and sporting sectors have moved ahead faster than education and international, though he notes both are now showing "early signs" of recovery. Aquila Services is a London-based housing, sport, and educational and treasury management consultancy services provider.

Superdry PLC, down 5.2% at 120.05 pence, 12-month range 96.00p - 292.00p. Confirms it is in talks with a US hedge fund as the clothing retailer faces an uncertain future if it cannot secure a new lender. Superdry said last month that there was a "material uncertainty" over the future of its business as a GBP70 million loan facility is set to expire in January. On Monday, Superdry confirms a report in the Telegraph that it is trying to secure funding from Bantry Bay Capital, which is backed by US activist investor Elliott Advisors. "Superdry acknowledges recent press speculation about its previously announced refinancing process and confirms that it is in negotiations with Bantry Bay Capital Ltd, the specialist lending provider, to replace the existing up to GBP70 million asset-backed lending facility," the firm says.
