AIM - LOSERS

----------

Somero Enterprises Inc, down 2.2% at 219.99p, 12-month range 173.00p-335.00p. The manufacturer of laser-guided building machinery reports weaker half-year revenue and profit. Revenue in the first half of 2025 declines 23% to USD39.8 million from USD51.8 million, while pretax profit falls 54% to USD4.9 million from USD10.6 million. Somero adds: "Demand for US non-residential construction remains resilient, supported by positive long-term trends across key end-markets. Global uncertainty - linked to factors including tariffs, persistently high interest rates and restrictive immigration policies - continues to weigh on the pace of projects, however customers report strong levels of bidding activity and healthy backlogs which are expected to extend through year-end."
