AIM - WINNERS

Angle PLC, up 62% at 21.50 pence, 12-month range 9.07p-48.50p. Shares in the medical diagnostics firm soar after it unveils "breakthrough" clinical results from DNA molecular analysis of cancer patient blood samples that "provide a unique insight into the progression of each patient's cancer and how this may be treated". Angle says the results "highlight the potential for the Parsortix system to identify key variants [of] DNA mutations missed by other approaches to help guide treatment decisions." Chief Executive Officer Andrew Newland says: "Today's breakthrough is the critical next step post the [US Food & Drug Administration] clearance to show in a sample-to-answer format the potential clinical value of [next generation sequencing] molecular analysis on a repeat basis of living cancer cells harvested from patient blood samples. Angle is committed to delivering transformational benefits to cancer patients through a simple blood test. This is a major step in this process."

Likewise Group PLC, up 15% at 23.00p, 12-month range 14.00p-28.00p. The domestic and commercial floor coverings distributor says 2023 gross sales revenue rose 14% to GBP140.2 million from a year earlier, while sales in Likewise Floors rose 29%. It says these increases are "particularly positive given the macro economic headwinds and subsequent challenging market conditions". Likewise says 2023 sales revenue is ahead of current market expectations and underlying profitability is expected to be in line with market expectations, reflecting the continued investment in the future of the business. Looking ahead, it is confident of achieving current market expectations for 2024, as it "continues to develop its position in the UK flooring market".
