The following is a round-up of earnings and trading updates by London-listed companies, issued on Thursday and not separately reported by Alliance News: ---------- iForex Financial Trading Holdings Ltd - British Virgin Islands-based financial services provider - Appoints Daniel Shalom as chief operating officer, effective immediately. Says his ‘significant expertise across sales and marketing strategy, AI, cloud and data platforms’ will support its strategy to scale its growth and expand data and AI use across its client lifecycle, while continuing to invest in platform development and client experience. Shalom was most recently chief information officer of the Yad Vashem World Holocaust Remembrance Center, ‘where he oversaw a large-scale Bss&Oss technology transformation programme, including a six-petabyte data and cloud environment, and established strategic partnerships with global technology providers.’ He has ‘more than 20 years’ experience scaling global businesses and data-driven technology platforms, with a strong track record of operational execution and profitable growth.’ Company also says that at its annual general meeting on Thursday, shareholders approved the declaration of a 5.5 US cents per share final dividend for 2025. ---------- Delta Gold Technologies PLC - London-based gold mining and exploration company - Starts the second year of its research collaboration, titled ’A Scheme for Quantum Computing based on Proximatised Gold’ with the University of Toronto. Says the UofT has successfully filed a provisional patent arising from the research programme, announced on June 5. Says this is ‘an important early outcome of [the parties’] work and provides further encouragement as the parties move into the next phase of research.’ ---------- Molten Ventures VCT PLC - London-based investment trust associated with venture capital firm Molten Ventures PLC - Reports net asset value as at March 31 of 41.3 pence per share, down from 43.0p one year prior. NAV total return is plus 1.2% for the year ended March 31, compared with minus 5.6% for the previous year. Reports £6.5 million in new and follow-on investments in knowledge-intensive technology companies during the period, and £5.5 million in exits, resulting in realised gains of £0.3 million. Dividends for the year total 2.10p per share, comprising an interim dividend of 1.00p and a final dividend of 1.10p, down from a 2.15p total dividend for financial 2025. Chair David Brock says ‘HM Treasury’s misguided limitation on initial tax relief for [VCT] shareholders’ will almost certainly ‘have a very negative effect and some unintended consequences.’ Says the global outlook ‘is uncertain to say the least’ but that ‘our portfolio...may actually be a beneficiary - assuming interest rate rises and any global recession are not triggered.’ Adds that ‘the portfolio contains many exciting investments that should be able to take advantage of improving sentiment.’ ---------- Amigo Resources PLC - targets gold and rare earth minerals in Africa, specifically Tanzania and Mauritania - Remains non-revenue generating for the six months ended March 31, unchanged from the year before. Pretax loss widens to $2.2 million, from around $100,000 the previous year. Administrative and other operating expenses increase to $2.2 million from $2.0 million. Amigo says the period represents ‘a pivotal transformation’ due to its transition from a non-operating cash entity to a listed vehicle. Says its short-term priorities include securing targeted production-ready assets, and launching initial gold operations. Medium-term priorities include expanding its physical production footprint and rolling out tailored lending products. In the longer term, Amigo wants to ‘achieve regional replication across the wider East African corridor and solidify our position as a completely integrated mineral ecosystem.’ ---------- Medpal AI PLC - London-based digital health and AI company - Announces the launch of its ‘agentic AI health companion,’ ’Juno’. Also launches a ‘full upgrade’ of the technology behind Juno. Says Juno proactively watches over patients’ health information through MedPal AI’s New Health OS Portal and can reach out directly if needed. Says it has migrated its entire AI stack away from Google Vertex AI to a new multi-layer architecture, with Anthropic’s latest Claude models driving Juno’s agentic reasoning and conversation, while clinical response layers run on DigitalOcean infrastructure. ‘The world has just watched agentic AI go mainstream, and tens of millions of people are already asking AI about their health every single day,’ comments Founder & Chief Executive Jason Drummond. ‘The difference with Juno is that it does not stop at an answer. It can advise, triage, connect you to one of our GPs, have your medication dispensed by robot and shipped to your door, and then check that you are getting better. That is the whole point of Health OS. We do not just tell you what is wrong, we help to treat it.’ ---------- Copyright 2026 Alliance News Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
