Bioventix $BVXP.L's full-year results showed turnover down just 0.8%, with revenue 3.8% ahead of the single-broker forecast. Cash flow covered the year's dividends, and trading improved in the second half, with revenue up 10.6% on H1. #BVXP

Castings PLC $CGS.L's trading update implies a 26.2% indicative cut to FY27 pre-tax profit against £12.9m pre-announcement consensus. Revised guidance of broadly £9.5m reflects catch-up costs after the William Lee foundry power failure, with revenue unchanged. #CGS

Literacy Capital PLC $BOOK.L's quarterly update and NAV announcement shows NAV per share down 4.7%, within the limit signalled earlier in October. A £22.4m Cubo Work write-down masked faster growth elsewhere, with top-ten EBITDA growth accelerating to 32%. #BOOK

Draper Esprit PLC $GROW.L's half-year trading update shows expected NAV per share up 14.3% to approximately 869p, with about £244m of fair-value gains still concentrated in Revolut and ICEYE, which supplied £93m or 85.3% of the roughly £109m of realisation proceeds. #GROW

Plus500 Ltd $PLUS.L's third-quarter trading update says FY26 revenue and EBITDA will exceed company-cited market expectations, though the 43.5% quarterly EBITDA margin sits below the 45% stabilised margin examined in July's valuation case. #PLUS
77
Computacenter $CCC.L's third-quarter trading update lifts its FY26 adjusted pre-tax profit floor to £425m, 9.8% above consensus and another upgrade. Committed orders of £12.6bn support the level, but delivery depends on fourth-quarter project completion. #CCC
99
Evoke PLC $EVOK.L's third-quarter trading update shows revenue of £406m, down 7% year on year on shop closures and weaker sports results. With standalone guidance suspended, the agreed takeover is central to the debt outlook and remains on track for late Q4 2026. #EVOK

Helical Bar Plc $HLCL.L's trading update confirms the planned £17m shareholder return is complete, rather than reporting earnings. Southwark Gateway 2 approval, expected in November 2026, is the next cash milestone, releasing £15.5m of cost recovery and first profit. #HLCL

Boohoo Group $DEBS.L's half-year results show £28.3m of pretax profit, but that includes a £40.6m non-cash warehouse lease credit. The stronger evidence is cash generation: free cash flow turned positive after a £22.1m outflow in the restated prior-year period. #DEBS

At 2,558p the rating already assumes conversion. Oxford trades on 17.2 times enterprise value to EBITDA, between Judges Scientific at 15.2 and Renishaw at 21.5, and toward the top of a 15-18 times range justified by today's 13.7% statutory margin and 9.9% ROIC.

Selfside's view: risk-reward is balanced. Orders, net cash and buybacks are real, but 17.2x EV/EBITDA prices in much of the recovery. Profitable deliveries decide the next leg. For information purposes only. Not investment advice. Independent research published by Selfside.

AJ Bell plc $AJB.L's year-end trading update reports platform net inflows up 36.6% to £9.7bn and direct-to-consumer customers at 602,000. The release carries volumes only: no revenue margin or cash-conversion figures, which the December full-year results will have to supply. #AJB

Rentokil Initial $RTO.L's third-quarter trading update showed 3.4% group organic growth, with North America at 3.2%, down from 3.7% in the first half. Core North American Pest Control grew 2.4% again, so the volume recovery remains unproven ahead of the March 2027 prelims. #RTO
