The following stocks are the leading risers and fallers among London Main Market small-caps on Thursday. ---------- SMALL-CAP - WINNERS ---------- Videndum PLC, up 30% at 47.98 pence, 12-month range 28.30p-290.00p. The provider of broadcasting hardware and software says recent order intake has ‘been strong’, after low activity in July and August. The strength has been particularly evident in the US, Videndum says. Its order book as of September 30 is up 40% on-year. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation are up 50% in the third quarter compared with the first half. ‘Given the limited inventory in the markets, any uptick in end market demand will feed through into revenue with little delay,’ Videndum says. ‘Allied to previously announced management actions, any improvement in revenue will drop through to operating profit at a significant rate. Accordingly, the board’s expectations for FY26 remain unchanged.’ ---------- Capital Ltd, up 8.8% at 117.00p, 12-month range 58.20p-118.00p. The mining services firm says revenue in the third quarter of the year edges up 0.2% to $93.9 million from $93.7 million a year prior. On-quarter, it rises 7.4%. ‘The third quarter delivered Capital’s highest quarterly revenue in its operating history, supported by a steady drilling performance and a ramp-up in mining activities at Reko Diq,’ Capital says. Capital ups annual revenue guidance to between $335 million and $350 million from between $320 million and $340 million. ---------- Sabre Insurance Group PLC, up 4.3% at 135.62p, 12-month range 118.60p-160.20p. The motor insurance underwriter says gross written premiums are down year-to-date, but it is seeing ‘signs of claims inflation moderating’. Gross written premiums in the first nine months of the year decline 19% to £151.7 million from £186.5 million a year before. ---------- SMALL-CAP - LOSERS ---------- ProCook Group PLC, down 1.6% at 36.60p, 12-month range 20.00p-48.00p. The stock returns some of its 7.8% advance from Wednesday. The kitchenware seller on Wednesday reported that revenue in the second quarter ended October 12 climbed 25% on-year to £21.3 million. ---------- Copyright 2025 Alliance News Ltd.
