FALLERS

Telematics supplier Microlise Group (LON: SAAS) says lower OEM volumes due to tariffs and the weak economy. There have also been delays in projects. There are plans to cut annualised costs by £4m. That is too late for 2025 when forecast revenues have been cut from £91.3m to £84m, while earnings have been slashed from 5.5p/share to 3.1p/share. The 2026 earnings forecast has been cut to 4.9p/share. Customer churn remains low. The share price slumped 30.1% to 97.5p.

Immupharma (LON: IMM) continues to talk with potential partners for the P140 autoimmune platform and a deal will not be secured until 2026. There is enough cash until the fourth quarter of 2026, so there is no need for a fundraising. Deals with commercial partners should provide additional finance. The share price declined 27.4% to 7.09p.

Oil and gas producer Prospex Energy (LON: PXEN) has generated revenues of £4.2m so far this year, despite the downtime at Viura and El Romeral and lower gas prices. Viura is back in production in the fourth quarter. This will enable much larger revenues in the period and generate cash for investment. The share price slipped 12.8% to 3.4p.

M&C Saatchi (LON: SAA) was hit by the US government shutdown and this has led to a downgrade of expectations for 2025. The media business has done better than expected. Group revenues have been reduced by 1% to £210m, while pre-tax profit is cut by 19% to £22.4m. There is an even greater reduction from £34m to £24.7m for 2026.
