(Alliance News) - The following stocks are the leading risers and fallers among London Main Market small-caps on Tuesday.
----------
SMALL-CAP - WINNERS

Saga PLC, up 5.6% at 153.10 pence, 12-month range 102.20p-198.40p. The provider of products and services for people aged 50 and over sees its shares rise. It updates markets on the period from August 1 to January 29. For its full-year, Saga expects to report revenue growth of between 10% and 15% and an underlying pretax profit more than double that of the prior year. "Our Cruise and Travel businesses have had an outstanding year, having taken around 120k passengers on holiday, with customers continuing to be drawn to the strength of the Saga brand and offer. As a result, these businesses will return to profitability, in line with expectations. In Insurance, the market-wide inflationary environment and declining policy volumes are continuing to impact our performance," says Chief executive Mike Hazell.
