Mark Watson-Mitchell - 04.06.2026 Is this one for the gamers amongst you? Ahead of next Wednesday, 10th June, it could well be worth looking very closely at the shares of the £156m-capitalised Frontier Developments (LON:FDEV), the highly cash-generative developer and publisher of video games. The group has announced that it expects to be providing its post‑year‑end Trading Update on the 10th. The group’s shares are currently trading at 456p, but brokers have set Target Pric
Ramsdens – gold and travel hassles aside, Interims show better than FY2025, shares up 8% at 493p, TP 596p
Mark Watson-Mitchell - 03.06.2026 After this morning’s excellent Interim Results released by Ramsdens Holdings (LON:RFX) I expect its shares to rise above the 500p level and improve to trade the 530p to 560p price range. I do like to see companies announcing unexpected profit upgrades – and that is just what Ramsdens has done over the last four months or so, issuing updates guiding the market that its business was performing a lot better than expectation. And it has announc

Metro Bank – continued profit growth against dynamic market backdrop, shares up 41% in last three months, with more to come!
Mark Watson-Mitchell - 01.06.2026 Last week RBC Capital Markets suggested that the shares of Metro Bank Holdings (LON:MTRO) will Outperform, while setting a 195p Target Price. The £1.15bn-capitalised group’s shares, which have put on over 25% in value within the last month alone, now stand at 171.40p. At the beginning of March, I featured this banking company at 122p, so the subsequent 41% price gain must be more than pleasing for its investors. That market-beating performanc
