#HERC.L - Contract Wins ➡️Wins a further £5m of contracts mainly with Thames Water. ➡️Contracts started in Q4 FY26 and will mostly complete in coming 6 months. A risk and benefit of short term contracts is the cliff-edge when they end, & opportunity to announce new wins.

#FUTR.L - FY TU ➡️"the Group will deliver in line with market expectations for FY 2026 as it executes against its strategy". 🚧Somewhat ominously, it pauses its buyback, citing a need to "to focus on deleveraging in FY 2027", referring to its growing debt pile & 1.6x leverage (at Interims).

James @1james1n1.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
#MRK.L - 1H TU ➡️Revenue "broadly in line with market expectations" - so a bit below. ✅However, due to cost management & margin expansion, "the Board now expects [FY adj BS Earnings] to be ahead of market expectations, at no less than £3.75 million for FY27", so perhaps as much as £2m actual PBT.

#SYME.L - Delay to concert performance Company continue to pursue the fallacy that they will publish delayed accounts and so effectively announce a delay to the timing of the good lady's concert performance. She is gargling in the wings and performing vocal exercises ready to take centre stage.
