As I have said before, this is headed to £4+ here based on undeniable forward fundamentals (should never have dropped this low from 600p+), I believe Berenberg bank will also upgrade their current 470p price target/Buy rating post AGM and especially looking at H2, Barry M was another master stroke, GLA.

In case of interest, Warpaint London will be presenting (Sam Bazini) and also exhibiting (Hot Stand) at the MELLO2026 London event tomorrow, please find links for details here below:

As highlighted earlier, based on fundamentals and forward potential here, W7L is clearly one of the most Undervalued & Oversold Quality AIM shares trading today, sometimes markets provide rare opportunities, particularly for patient investors, DYOR!

"UK Retail Sales Soar to Fastest Growth in 20 Months"

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-02-20/uk-retail-sales-begin-2025-with-fastest-growth-in-20-months

"U.K. retail sales surged in January; growing 4.5% on monthly basis"

Investing.com - U.K. retail sales surged in January, eclipsing the previous month’s hefty jump, suggesting consumers retained a degree of confidence into the new year.

On a monthly basis, retail sales gained 1.8% last month, compared with December’s 0.4% jump, according to data released by the Office of National Statistics data earlier Friday.

Sales rose by 4.5% on an annual basis, having risen by 1.9% the prior month, revised down from the earlier announcement of 2.5% annual growth.

Economists had predicted that retail sales, which mostly reflect goods and are not adjusted for inflation, would rise 0.2% on the month, and by 2.8% on an annual basis.

The sharp increase in retail sales at the end of last year had been unexpected, and was driven by strong online performance, and followed the Autumn budget by Chancellor Rachel Reeves, ending uncertainty over the extent of tax rises needed to fund higher public spending.

The Bank of England maintained its benchmark interest rate at 3.75% earlier this month, but the tight 5-4 vote by the Monetary Policy Committee to do so, coupled with a cooling in inflation and subdued economic growth points to another interest rate cut in March.

"warpaint london - poised for a fresh look"

Going by this year's calendar, we should get a trading update here by early Feb with full results in April followed by the AGM (including an AGM statement) in June; W7L SP has potential to more than double from these incredibly cheap levels withing next ~6 months IMHO, DYOR.

Nothing has changed fundamentally here: no RNS, no downgrade, no news from the company. Just broader market softness and a few very low-volume trades driving the tapes.

These kinds of prints happen when market makers widen spreads and test the book on low-liquidity mornings. A couple of small sells can drag the quote down temporarily, especially on extremely low volume days which we've constantly had.

• We’re heading into:

– Dividend payment this week

– Budget catalyst (26 Nov)

– Christmas trading period

– January trading update

All the real price-moving events are still ahead of us.

Recent dips simply reflects market conditions + ultra low liquidity, not any shift in the W7L story.

Looking at every fundamental and technical metric, W7L remains one of the most oversold and undervalued quality names on AIM right now.

• Debt-free, cash-rich, consistent cash generation.

• High Yield Dividends – you’re paid to wait.

• Recent heavy-volume sessions likely cleared any institutional overhang.

• Macro tailwinds strengthening – tariff easing + UK import-duty reform = cost and competitive advantages.

The rally hasn’t even truly started yet — all signs point to smart-money accumulation while forming a solid base.

If sentiment and earnings normalise into 2026, the upside could be dramatic from here.

Tighten your seatbelts — this could be the early stage of a major re-rating. 💥

Risk/reward looks exceptional, DYOR.

It's been extremely low volume trading during past few trading days with the SP easily vulnerable here, moment real volume returns, we'll likely see a very sharp directional move upward, ex-dividend date and payment days are both in November!

Warpaint London plc (AIM: W7L) remains one of the most undervalued and fundamentally sound names on AIM right now.

At around 203–205 p, the company trades on less than 6× EV/EBITDA, with zero debt, £17 m+ cash, and a dividend yield now above 6% — with another payment due this November.

The CEO has already explained that H1 weakness was driven by a few isolated one-offs — tariffs on US-bound lines, the Bodycare administration, and a temporary Scandinavian customer issue — all now resolved. With those behind them, margins are recovering and H2 is expected to show the benefits of major global retail roll-outs now ramping.

The upcoming ex-dividend date (6 Nov; pay date 21 Nov) often draws renewed attention from income-focused investors, and historically the share tends to firm up ahead of it.

Add in the H2 weighting and Berenberg’s appointment as joint broker, and the setup looks very attractive for patient holders.

W7L’s fundamentals haven’t changed — only sentiment has.

And sentiment always catches up when the numbers start doing the talking.

At these levels, this looks less like risk and more like a unique opportunity.

Just looking extremely Oversold and Undervalued here based on every metric and as such, W7L now a Multibagger in the making, so please tighten your seatbelts!

With all that is going on, W7L is now looking extremely Oversold & Undervalued, especially when considering forward fundamentals along with dividend potential based on the forward fundamentals here, potential is actually massive and with great dividends, what's not to like IMHO!

Demand isn’t broken — their biggest customer grew double-digits in H1, with disruption only from one client bust and another overstocked. The recent CEO interview directly addressed those issues and outlined how H2 is positioned. BA was loss-making pre-deal, yes, but it was bought for brand/distribution synergies and integration is already underway.

Meanwhile, W7L remains debt-free, cash-rich and paying a 5%+ dividend yield, with insiders holding ~40% — serious skin in the game. Institutions are showing confidence too: Schroders have lifted past 11.1%, Berenberg maintain a 510p PT, and Shore Capital rate it a “House Stock.”

Upside potential here now far outweighs any downside risks.
