The following stocks are the leading risers and fallers on AIM on Thursday. ---------- AIM - WINNERS ---------- Sancus Lending Group Ltd, up 56% at 1.40 pence, 12-month range 0.30p-3.00p. The property-backed lender increases its existing credit facility with Pollen Street Capital to £300 million from £200 million and extends its maturity to no earlier than February 11, 2031. Sancus says the revised terms provide at least five years of committed funding and enhance capacity and flexibility to support continued lending growth across the UK, Ireland and the Channel Islands. The company says the extension reflects strong recent operational and financial performance and continued confidence from its funding partner. ---------- Tpximpact Holdings PLC, up 20% at 33.69p, 12-month range 13.62p-35.00p. The technology-enabled services firm wins a £39 million, four-year contract with the UK’s Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs under its Digital, Data and Technology ’capability as a service’ model. TPXimpact says it is awarded the ’service type 3 product development’ lot following a competitive tender process, strengthening its existing role as an incumbent provider within the department. CEO Bjorn Conway says: ‘This award with Defra is of significant strategic importance and places TPXimpact at the heart of the UK’s environmental and rural digital agenda. It reflects the department’s trust in our ability to deliver at scale on complex, nationally critical programmes. Our work will not only improve service delivery for farmers and citizens but will also play a tangible role in achieving national sustainability goals.’ ---------- AIM - LOSERS ---------- Strategic Minerals PLC, down 4.2% at 3.40p, 12-month range 0.0025p-4.40p. The mineral exploration company reports positive assay results from drillhole CRD037 at its Redmoor tungsten-tin-copper project in Cornwall, confirming the presence of a sheeted vein system and continued high-grade mineralisation within a high-priority section of the exploration target. Strategic Minerals says the hole intersects a continuous mineralised zone of 51.30 metres at 0.11% WO3, 0.13% tin and 0.40% copper, including higher-grade intervals such as 2.06% WO3 over 0.85 metres and 2.00% tin over 0.53 metres. The company says the results support inclusion of the section in a forthcoming mineral resource estimate update and highlight potential to convert additional exploration target tonnage into mineral resources, subject to further drilling and modelling. ---------- Guardian Metal Resources PLC, up 1.8% at 187.50p, 12-month range 31.50p-216.00p. The metals exploration company reports a pretax loss for the six-month period ended December 31 of $4.8 million, widened from $986,000 a year earlier, and says it posts no other income, compared with $2,000 in the prior year. ---------- Copyright 2026 Alliance News Ltd.
