Cavendish also have a buy note out this morning.

Their target price: 45p

Cannacord have issued a Buy note on the back of these results with a target of 41p

Confirmation that the market was waiting for.

A strong set of results and dividend maintained. Perhaps now we'll see some upwards movement? A share price of 35p would still be an attractive yield of 8%.

One thing's for sure - if I was the new broker wanting an easy reputational win, I'd be starting my coverage right now at a lowly 2p while we're still fumbling in the dark looking for a lighter to start to bonfire, rather than after the firework display has already started ...

Correction, he bought shedloads at 27p of course (not 17p)

We are gradually edging closer to results day, to be announced this coming Thursday 18th. Market is in wait and see mode, as it has been for months. But a Buy signal on the candlestick chart was finally triggered on Friday.

Was Chief Investment Officer Charlie Brookes right to buy shedloads at 17p back in January? We may be about to find out.

A reminder of his near £220k transaction :-

26th January 2026 RNS Director/PDMR Dealings

Duke Capital Limited (AIM: DUKE), a leading provider of hybrid capital solutions for SME business owners in Europe and North America, announces that Charlie Cannon Brookes, Chief Investment Officer, purchased 811,779 ordinary shares of no par value ("Ordinary Shares") in the Company at a price of 27.07p per share on 23 January 2026. Following this purchase, Mr Cannon Brookes, together with his persons closely associated ("PCAs"), holds a total of 13,318,181 Ordinary Shares in the Company, representing approximately 2.6% per cent. of its issued share capital.

Wish that £21.00 in somm's post wasn't a typo for 21p ....

Anyone know the analyst behind the new 17.9p target published in I.C.?

It's not Zeus. What have they heard?

Small correction, it was the Chief Investment Officer, Charlie Brookes, with a substantial buy back in January at 27.07p.

Of all people, he should be the one with a handle on where this is going.

Added twice in recent days, both times below 26p, so before today's tick up.

Now my second largest holding by value. I think looking at the trades over the last month or so there has been a persistent seller, who will surely soon become exhausted. At which point these should rise substantially imo. Underpinning this admittedly risky investment, there's impressive institutional backing (for an AIM company) and of course there's the significant CFO buy earlier this year.

Potentially just days away from reaching target depth of a deep well, spread just narrowed yesterday, and some bright spark decides NOW of all times is the time to sell some, and down goes the bid again.

Unbelievable. It's on days like these, I'm totally with Clive in despairing at the Aim market.

It's been a very long time since the displayed spread's been as tight as this. Usually a good sign, but then this is CASP so anything's possible ...

Correction, 2.2 to 2.27 😀 of course

As usual, ignore displayed spread.

Actual bid is over 2.2p, offer around 2.7p.

I have some funds coming in around month end/early June. If we're still down here and they haven't announced reaching 803 TD by then, this could be an attractive little trade. Never traded before; only accumulated but this seems a prime opportunity.

Thanks for the correction Somm; yes they're at 3906m as at 2 days ago (not 2906 as in my post) on the 803 deep well, with imminent targets between 3920m and 3980m. And sounding quietly confident. Further news within the next 2 weeks?

"Now top up at 2p while you can"

With 803 well at 2906 as at two days ago and the 'larger oil intervals" they're targeting at 2920m to 2980m, I can't imagine a better time to do so.

Thanks Daisydo.

On a separate note, does anyone know if there's a filter mechanism on LSE to allow you to filter out posters who don't contribute anything meaningful or useful, such as GetMeOut, Rosie, mrcautious, etc? I'm not looking for a positive-only echo chamber, but don't want to have to read unintelligent drivel either. Constructive criticism is fine; drivel isn't. Thanks

Thanks for today's insight into tweaks relating to developments in progress and planned.

Rather more useful than GMO's posts, for example!

"I more than anyone want this share to take off."

And yet every single post over those years has been unrelentingly negative, likely to put off new investors and thus have the opposite effect to the one declared above.

Anyone else spot the logic flaw? 🤔
