The following stocks are the leading risers and fallers among London Main Market small-caps on Tuesday. ---------- SMALL-CAP - WINNERS ---------- Quantum Data Energy PLC, up 18% at 6.95 pence, 12-month range 5.9p-187p. Says it makes ‘significant progress’ securing growth funding for its portfolio of flexible generation projects. Funding will be arranged at the project-level SPVs and will therefore be non-dilutive to shareholders. The company targets financing both its around 40 megawatt development pipeline and opportunistic acquisitions of operational flexgen assets as it works toward a 300MW-plus portfolio. QDE appoints Sustainable Investing Solutions Ltd to support the process. The company says strong market activity in operational flexgen sales provides an opportunity to scale quickly and at lower cost per MW. QDE and SIS are engaging selected investors and aim to reach first financial close in Q1 2026. Chief Executive Officer Pieter Krugel says: ‘We are delighted to work with Helen and David who are leading specialists in the sustainable energy investment industry, with an exceptional track record of success across the industry, transacting over $22.5 billion within sustainable infrastructure.’ ---------- On The Beach Group PLC, up 13% at 217.5p, 12-month range 185.6p-301p. Says annual pretax profit rises 9.5% to £27.9 million from £25.2 million and revenue up 1.8% to £121.4 million from £119.2 million for the year to September 30. Adjusted pretax profit increases 20% to £35.0 million. The total transaction value rose 11% from £1.1 billion, On the Beach notes. Chief Executive Shaun Morton says consumers ‘continue to prioritise their summer holidays’ despite the economic backdrop. On the Beach raises its final dividend by 43% to 3.0p per share from 2.1p. Its full-year dividend is up by a third to 4.0p per share. So far in the new financial year, total transaction value is 16% higher, with bookings up 14% on-year. For the winter season alone, bookings are up 15% year-on-year. For the summer, meanwhile, ‘momentum is building’ with year-to-date bookings up 8%. ---------- SMALL-CAP - LOSERS ---------- Bluebird Mining Ventures Ltd, down 20% at 0.3p, 12-month range 1.66p-0.234p. Concludes strategic review and shifts to a gold-focused streaming and treasury model, aiming to prioritise recurring cashflow, balance-sheet strength and direct exposure to physical bullion. The new strategy centres on structured gold streaming agreements, reserve-backed yield, and capital-efficient growth across the ore-to-bullion value chain. The company may use bitcoin solely as a settlement rail within internal limits and continues to pursue permitting and partnership options in Korea. CEO Sath Ganesarajah says the revised approach positions BMV as a ‘next-generation gold streaming and treasury platform’ aligned with rising demand for inflation-resistant, income-producing assets. ---------- Copyright 2025 Alliance News Ltd.
