The security and surveillance solutions provider says it has traded in line with expectations in the first five months of its financial year. The year ends on November 30. In the leisure and hospitality sector, it has seen ‘strong order intake’ in the North American gaming market. It has also won deals in the ‘critical infrastructure, public space and transport sectors’. ‘Within the energy sector, against a backdrop of ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, some customers have delayed project and infrastructure investment decisions although the scale and quality of these opportunities remain unchanged. As a result, the timing of certain contract awards and project activity in the energy sector is unclear at this stage,’ Synectics says. Revenue and profit are to be second half weighted. Synectics expects full-year trading in line with market expectations, which it puts at £62.0 million for revenue and £4.1 million for adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation. In addition, the firm says Bob Holt is stepping down as non-executive chair, ‘reflecting his increasing commitments to Earnz’. He is a ‘significant shareholder’ and chair of Earnz. ---------- eEnergy Group PLC, down 10% at 5.21p, 12-month range 3.50p-7.10p.

The outsourcing and business services company says it has made ‘positive progress’ in the first four months of 2026. Adjusted revenue is up 2.9% on-year over the period, in line with expectations. In addition, it says Daniel Wosner is joining as non-executive director. He is managing director of Oasis Management Co Ltd, which has disclosed a 15% stake in Capita. ‘For so long as it maintains its nominee on the board, Oasis has agreed to maintain directly or indirectly ownership of no less than 10% and no more than 20% of the issued share capital of the company. If Oasis’ and its affiliates’ combined ownership falls below 10% of the issued share capital of the company, Oasis has agreed to procure that its nominee shall resign,’ Capita adds. ---------- Alternative Income REIT PLC, down 2.3% at 70.22p, 12-month range 62.20p-81.60p.

On Friday, Glenstone, which owns around 24% of Alternative Income REIT, said it was considering an all-cash takeover of the commercial property investor. On Monday, Alternative Income REIT confirms it has received a non-binding proposal and says: ‘The independent directors, who engaged with Glenstone and its advisers prior to its announcement, note that the possible offer does not include any offer price or range of prices, nor the terms and conditions on which any possible offer might be made.’ As a result, the firm says the proposal ‘does not include terms capable of detailed evaluation’ and said it is not able to ‘form a view on the merits or otherwise’. ---------- Copyright 2026 Alliance News Ltd.
