LTG Plc - Digital Learning in the Pandemic Era

Last Friday LTG Plc issued an upbeat trading update despite the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.

It has been some time since we last checked in with LTG, the company’s share price at the time was hovering around 40p per share (this morning it opened at 176.8p). In the intervening time the LTG has continued in the vein it had begun by achieving self-declared revenue and EBITD targets as well as adding new businesses to the group. I take this opportunity to look at how the company has managed to provide a positive trading update in a pandemic-ravaged global economy.

Destiny Pharmaceuticals - A Defining Moment

The word “transformational” is used all too frequently in market updates and annual reports, so much so that for many an investor it can lead to a subconscious eye roll. However, Destiny Pharma finds itself at a juncture that can justifiably be labelled as transformational. Dependant on how matters develop, that transformation could be either good or bad for the company. The principle driver of interest in Destiny right now is anticipation of XF-73 Phase 2b results which are due before the end of March 2021. There has been a surge of interest and a corresponding surge in share price since a December update confirming the recruitment process for the trials had completed.

UKOG - A Case of Fact and Fiction

Most active AIM investors will have encountered UKOG recently.  Simpvestor has not yet issued a report on UK Oil and Gas Plc but we have been following developments at Broadford Bridge closely.  A share price that was as low as 0.8p in May 2017 is sat at close to 8p less than three months later with the potential for even more (or less) in the near future.  Kind of hard to miss with almost daily updates, Shakespearean twists and Bulletin Boards buzzing with rumours.  UKOG investors will be forgiven for being a bit exhausted by the incessant news flow.  With so much conjecture around such a hot topic, we could not resist the challenge of separating fact from fiction.
