The following is a round-up of earnings and trading updates by London-listed companies, issued on Tuesday and not separately reported by Alliance News: ---------- Critical Metals PLC - Democratic Republic of the Congo-focused, London-domiciled mine developer - Reports no revenue for the first six months of its financial year in a ‘challenging period’ as financial constraints limit operational activity and its ability to invest. The firm swings to a pretax profit of £133,758 in the six month period to the end of December from a loss of £1.2 million a year ago. ‘It has been a challenging period for the company, with financial constraints, limiting our operational activity at Molulu as well as our ability to invest in other projects,’ says Interim Chief Executive Officer Danilo Lange. ‘However, I am pleased to say that we have made significant strides in stabilising the company. The continued support from NIU, our majority shareholder, has enabled the company to strengthen its board and stabilise the company, positioning it for sustainable growth.’ ---------- Technologies New Energy PLC - London-based energy company supporting decarbonisation projects - Announces that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Technologies New Energy SA acquires a 90% interest in CleverSearch Lda, a local project development company incorporated in the Azores. The project is being developed to process around 60,000 metric tonnes per annum of sustainable biomass feedstock and is expected to produce up to 6,000 MT per annum. The acquisition was finalised by way of a capital increase in CleverSearch, following which TNE holds a 90% ownership interest. The commercial terms of the transaction are confidential. ‘The acquisition of CleverSearch is an important step in accelerating our biorefinery development activities in the Azores. The Terceira project is a cornerstone of our wider SAF portfolio in Portugal and CleverSearch provides us with strong local capability to progress development efficiently and in line with our broader sustainable fuels strategy,’ company says. ---------- Chesterfield Special Cylinders Holdings PLC - Sheffield, England-based engineering firm - Provides update ahead of its annual general meeting. Says the ‘already robust’ defence order book strengthened further in January with a strategically significant contract award from French prime contractor, Naval Group for specialised pressure vessels on its Scorpene-class submarine programme. Within the first half of 2026, Chesterfield expects further overseas defence contract awards for new build programmes and Integrity Management services. In addition, expects a major contract award for large-scale hydrogen storage systems in the first half of 2026, driving further growth from this emerging sector from financial 2027. ‘With significant revenue and earnings growth expected in FY26, underpinned by contract revenues weighted heavily towards the second half of the year, the board reconfirms its confidence in the mid-term outlook.’ ---------- Quantum Data Energy PLC - London-listed power infrastructure developer - Says the Pyebridge flexible generation power asset has ‘continued its sterling performance’ and achieves record high electricity generation and revenue for any single calendar month to date in January. It achieves 1.8 gigawatt hours of output and sales in January. It achieves an average total revenue of around £290,000 per megawatt in production per year over the past rolling 12-month period. ‘We are very proud of the ongoing sterling performance of our Pyebridge asset, having achieved another record high electricity generation and revenues for any single calendar month to date in January 2026. Pyebridge’s ongoing excellent performance highlights the ongoing strong demand for flexible generation power and underscores QDE’s core business model,’ says Chief Executive Officer Pieter Krugel. ---------- Medpal AI PLC - London-based digital health and AI company - Announces that the company’s ordinary shares have been admitted to trading on the Open Market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange starting Tuesday. The Frankfurt listing is a secondary listing and sits alongside the company’s primary quotation on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange. Medpal AI says listing provides it with a ‘significant opportunity to broaden its shareholder base and increase trading liquidity.’ Chief Executive Jason Drummond says: ‘The timing of this listing is deliberate. By simultaneously launching a German-language version of our AI wellness app and committing to a broader rollout of MedPal services across Germany over the coming months, we are not simply listing our shares in a new market - we are entering the market as a business. Our presentation to German investors in March will provide an opportunity to demonstrate the strength of our integrated healthcare platform and our ambitions for the European market.’ ---------- Smithson Investment Trust PLC - investment trust - FTSE Russell says Smithson Investment Trust will be deleted from the FTSE 250 index and replaced by Pinewood Technologies Group PLC effective Friday. At the same time Pinewood will be deleted from the FTSE SmallCap Index. ---------- Nostrum Oil & Gas PLC - operates gas processing facilities and export hub in north-west Kazakhstan - Provides an update on withholding tax disputes involving its principal operating subsidiary, Zhaikmunai LLP. ZKM is currently engaged in disputes with the Republic of Kazakhstan tax authorities challenging the results of such authorities’ tax audits of ZKM for 2018, 2019, and 2020. The tax authorities have asserted withholding tax claims for the three years totalling $71 million which ZKM believes contradict laws and treaties and judicial practice. Last week, ZKM says it was informed that the RoK Ministry of Finance Appeal Board has scheduled a hearing on Thursday to consider the appeals of tax audits for 2018 and 2019, following the resumption of proceedings after a prior period of suspension. ‘The outcome of the hearing remains uncertain and may result in further procedural steps in accordance with applicable laws rather than a final determination,’ company says. ‘The Company will continue to defend its interests and to assess all available legal remedies,’ it adds. ---------- Copyright 2026 Alliance News Ltd.
