Audioboom Group PLC, up 20% at 179.80 pence, 12-month range 130.00p-708.00p.

AIM - LOSERS
----------
Surface Transforms PLC, down 32% at 16.00p, 12-month range 12.60p-43.45p. The carbon-ceramic automotive brake disc manufacturer says that while some technical problems have been overcome, it is still seeing challenges in its production line. "These challenges, which are being resolved, are hindering us from creating sufficient capacity resilience and are constraining our production ramp up," it explains. "In the light of these challenges, the company is now planning its cash needs and customer commitments based on a shallower ramp and now expects to reach the required rate of production in Q1 2024, later than previously forecast." Surface Transforms is now cutting sales guidance for 2023 to GBP8.6 million. It adds: "Overall, the outlook for 2024 to 2027 continues to remain very positive reflecting contracts in series production and recent new business announcements, with capacity being installed to fulfil these awards."
