AIMing for income

Supporters of the London Stock Exchange’s growth market would say that the Alternative Investment Market is the world’s most successful market for growing companies rewarding investors prepared to brave the risks o

Mixed H1, to regain momentum in H2

Lower profitability in Entu's H115 results has been well explained, as have the reasons for expecting an improvement in H2 and beyond. We believe that momentum in commercial contracts should ultimately outweigh limited drag from changes to industry incentives. However, in the current year, we have elected to lower EPS by 4.3%. Ahead of demonstrating regained momentum in H2, the 7% prospective yield should appeal to investors.

Zeus Top Picks for 2024 - 2023 review and outlook for 2024

On 9 January last year, we set out our ten top stock picks for 2023, for what turned out to be another relatively poor twelve months for UK equities due to two wars, stubbornly high inflation and further tightening of monetary policy.
