The market capitalization of AIM stocks was £95.9bn as of 26 May 2023, down 3.7% since 14 April 2023. Among the top YTD winners, there were Celadon Pharmaceuticals (up 216.6%), Vast Resources (+325% YTD), B90 Holdings (+212.4%), Verditek (209.1%, MktCap £7.5mn), Star Phoenix Group (+175%), Inspecs Group (+166.3%). Among the bottom movers, were companies canceling admission to AIM: Applied Graphene Materials (-88%,), Circle Property (-93%, MktCap £1.2mn), Purplebricks Group (-93.1% on a possible sale of business), Mirada (-90.8% on cancellation of admission to AIM). Since our last report priced on 14/04/2023, the market performance of Financials and Consumer Non-cyclicals has improved. The largest gains were 18.6% YTD in the Financials and 16.9% in the Consumer Non-Cyclicals sector. The biggest losses are in Academic and Educational Services and Real Estate. Industrials and Consumer Cyclicals remain the best-performing sectors in FTSE350.
Market performance remains weak as high inflation and rates hike are not over yet. Our last update provided neutral to positive results with a 30% share price increase for Arrow Exploration for the period, a 9% price increase for Equals Group, a 3.8% decrease in share price for Elixirr International, and a decrease of 4.5% for Bango. However, our previous (30/03/23) top picks showed a good performance: Inspired was up 15.6%, Strix Group was up 19.3%, Sigmaroc was up 9%, and hVIVO was up 14.5%.
Our top picks are from resources, industrial and promotional sectors. We select companies with robust revenue growth and a sustainable business model. Our picks list includes Southern Energy, Touchstone Exploration, Surface Transforms, and Altitude Group. Projected sales increase, relatively low multiples, and recent performance are key factors we focus on to select companies. Companies are subject to AIM stock risks such as financial underperformance or stock dilutions in the future. We believe our top picks have an acceptable risk-return trade-off due to a sustainable product range or business model.
