The Perth, Australia-based fintech company draws down the first $5 million tranche of the $10 million unsecured term loan facility with Clarivan Group. The second tranche will be available to draw down in August. ---------- South32 Ltd, up 9.7% at 223.60p, 12-month range 123.24p-265.00p. The Perth, Australia-based diversified mining and metals company signs a binding agreement to sell aluminium value chain assets to Alcoa Corp for an implied enterprise value of up to $5.6 billion. The sale includes an 86% interest in Worsley Alumina, a 100% interest in Hillside Aluminium, a 33% interest in the MRN bauxite mine subject to exercise of pre-emptive rights held by partners, a 36% interest in the Brazil Alumina refinery, and a 40% interest in the Brazil Aluminium smelter. The deal includes $3.1 billion in an upfront cash consideration, $1.0 billion in Alcoa shares, $750 million in net debt and lease liabilities to be assumed by Alcoa, and up to $750 million in a contingent cash consideration. ---------- Carclo PLC, down 9.7% at 30.70p, 12-month range 29.00p-84.80p. The London-based provider of precision components says revenue falls 5.8% to £114.2 million in the financial year to the end of March from £121.2 million a year earlier. Pretax profit improves to £4.8 million from £2.7 million. However, the company says market conditions are currently mixed. Aerospace demand remains strong, but Life Sciences conditions are more varied. The company says: ‘In particular, a notably weaker respiratory virus season has reduced testing volumes across the diagnostics industry, leading some customers to adjust inventory levels; an effect we expect to be temporary. We anticipate demand strengthening as we move through the year as a number of our new growth initiatives come on stream and accordingly expect trading to be weighted towards the second half and to deliver positive organic revenue growth for the full year.’ ---------- Shearwater Group PLC, up 18% at 43.50p, 12-month range 35.50p-70.00p. The London-based cybersecurity advisory firm wins a five-year contract expansion valued at around £25 million with a ‘leading UK-based global telecommunications provider’. Around £12.5 million of the value will be recognised in financial 2026. This underpins Shearwater’s confidence in achieving market expectations for earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation, with revenue expected to be slightly ahead of expectations. ---------- ADM Energy PLC, down 44% at 0.0125p, 12-month range 0.02p-0.10p. The West-Africa focused natural resource investor is suspended from the AIM market due to missing Tuesday’s deadline to publish its results after a delay. Keras Resources and MobilityOne shares are also lower for the same reason. ---------- Copyright 2026 Alliance News Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
