SMALL-CAP - WINNERS

SMALL-CAP - LOSERS
----------
XP Power Ltd, down 45% at 1,298.00 pence, 12-month range 1,260.00p-2,750.00p. The company warns third-quarter trading was below expectations. The Singapore-based manufacturer of power controllers says: "The economic uncertainty in China has also led to a reduction in demand in that market. These conditions are likely to continue for the remainder of the year, leaving the outlook below our prior expectation, with operating profit for the year ended 31 December 2023 now expected to be broadly similar to last year." XP Power believes third-quarter revenue is 2% lower at constant currency on-year at GBP75 million. The firm adds: "We are disappointed by the change in current trading conditions and 2023 outlook, which is largely being driven by weaker market demand leading to customer shipment deferrals. This will impact the current full year outlook and we are taking appropriate mitigating actions to reduce costs and conserve cash."
----------
Hochschild Mining PLC, down 4.0% at 79.88 pence, 12-month range 50.40p-95.55p. Shares in the silver and gold miner with operations in North and South America track the price of gold lower. Gold buys USD1,840.46 an ounce on Monday morning, lower than USD1,856.33 at the London equities close on Friday.
