This is excellent news: "Philip has extensive corporate experience within the financial services industry, specialising in compliance and governance, with clients ranging from banks to corporate finance firms, investment firms, wealth managers and hedge funds. Most recently, Philip led compliance consultancy, Cosegic, for five years, growing the business 124% (revenues), and leading two successful private equity buyouts."

Distil is focusing on key growth drivers within the spirits industry:

Premiumization: The global premium spirits market is expanding, with consumers willing to pay more for quality and authentic products. Distil's portfolio, which includes RedLeg Spiced Rum, Blackwoods Gin and Vodka, and Blavod Black Vodka, is positioned in this premium space.

Targeted Distribution: The company signed a major deal with Global Brands for full UK and Ireland distribution, leveraging a larger sales team to improve market penetration. It has also established a US distribution partnership to reintroduce Blavod Black Vodka.

Whisky Investment: Distil made a strategic investment in the Ardgowan distillery in Scotland, a growing area within the craft and premium whisky sector. The distillery is now operational and offering tours.

Flavored Spirits: The market for flavored and infused spirits is gaining traction, a trend that aligns with some of Distil's product offerings like spiced rum and flavored vodkas.

"Blavod Black Vodka was launched in 1996 in the UK and gained quick success, achieving over £2 million in sales across 11 countries within its first year. However, the brand's entry into the United States market came slightly later, in the early 2000s, through a joint venture with Extreme Spirits. While specific early U.S. sales figures are not publicly detailed in available reports, the brand established a "strong U.S. sales network" and was considered a significant part of the Blavod Extreme Spirits portfolio, which aimed for substantial sales expansion. The brand has seen fluctuations in its U.S. distribution over the years, with its previous distributor ceasing operations during the COVID-19 pandemic. Distil plc, the current owner, noted that requests for the product continued to come in, demonstrating persistent brand awareness and demand even during its absence. This demand led to Distil announcing a new partnership with Aiko Importers in April 2025 to officially relaunch Blavod across the U.S., with shipments expected to resume by the end of June 2025. The company is optimistic about the brand's potential for growth in the large U.S. spirits market."

"Scotch whisky producer Ardgowan invested £5 million (US$6.7m) in ageing whisky stocks for Clydebuilt in 2025, with a further £4m (US$5.3m) planned for 2026." ttps://www.thespiritsbusiness.com/2025/12/ardgowan-invests-5m-in-clydebuilt-stocks/

Are we due an RNS?

That's a great post, thanks for sharing DD

"Allenby Capital comment: Positive start to FY26 with a marked acceleration in bookings and billings, compared with FY25.

The cash position will also be boosted by the annual R&D tax rebate and the conversion of inventory into sales. The

company has successfully expanded its global routes to market and the partnership with SCHURTER is driving revenue and

expands CPX’s marketing reach and presence. CPX has also invested in its internal systems and improved performance,

and the company is well-placed to deliver as increased demand comes through for its innovative range of supercapacitor

products.

Good to see this TR1, he's obviously still confident at (18.05%)

Looking like a more balanced register to me......

Over the past two days, CPX share trading seems to have undergone a marked and encouraging transformation. Share price volatility has reduced, with market makers now taking the stock more seriously and holding larger volumes on their books (see Level 2). This shift is probably driven by: the MCap reaching £20m, the arrival of a new investor absorbing loose stock, the recent design win, and the other strong industrial relationships. Buyers and sellers seem better matched, creating a less volatile market. The share feels more solid, less prone to speculative swings, and, judging by the MMs behaviour, gaining greater respect from the capital markets. The “pump and dump” activities that have plagued Cap-XX appear to have subsided, and online commentary has become far more constructive, with a reduced level of retail gobshight. This all points to a more stable foundation and a promising outlook for CPX. DYOR

Ohhh, yes! Dr C.

Great article, worth reading.

I asked: What was the highest ever market capitalisation of Cap-XX?

AI replied: Based on historical annual data:

Cap‑XX reached its all-time high market capitalisation of approximately £60.5 million at the end of December 31, 2020

Since then, it has declined, dropping to around £32 million by end of 2021, £19 million by end of 2022.

That's before all the great progress. And they also currently have A$4m of cash in the bank

"0.439 on 18 July last year" is true, however, the recent trading update says that they have A$4m in the bank which they didnt have then....
