Its target range for net debt at the year-end remains at £100 million to £140 million. S4 Capital adds: ‘The board will consider approving an enhanced final dividend for 2025, if the improved second half performance and liquidity targets are delivered.’ ---------- Gem Diamonds Ltd, down 9.5% at 2.90p, 12-month range 2.80p-13.84p.
