Coppa Collective plc (COPC) · 2026-10-27
Coppa Collective expects FY26 revenue of £56.4m, below current market expectations of £57.8m, although adjusted EBITDA before IFRS 16 is expected to double to a record £2.8m, in line with expectations.

Revolution Beauty Group PLC (REVB) · 2026-10-27
Revolution Beauty Group returned to a £2.0m Adjusted EBITDA profit in H1 FY27 from a £12.5m loss, but the directors say a material uncertainty remains over going concern.

Shoe Zone PLC (SHOE) · 2026-10-27
Shoe Zone PLC expects to swing to an unaudited statutory loss before tax of approximately £0.6m for FY2026, from a £3.3m profit, as revenue fell 4.5% to £142.4m amid weaker demand and a smaller store estate. Product margin improved, but management expects subdued trading to continue and sees renewed freight, fuel and currency pressure on margins.
Shearwater Group PLC (SWG) · 2026-10-27
Shearwater Group said FY26 revenue rose 34% on an annualised basis to £42.3m and adjusted EBITDA increased 44% to £2.6m, but comparisons are with a 15-month FY25, Software revenue fell and Services margins narrowed. Early FY27 trading is in line with expectations, and the company expects FY27 results in line with market expectations.
LBG Media PLC (LBG) · 2026-10-27
LBG Media expects FY26 revenue of approximately £106.0m, up from £92.2m, but adjusted EBITDA of approximately £16.5m, down from £25.2m; both are in line with market expectations.

Ultimate Products PLC (ULTP) · 2026-10-27
Ultimate Products PLC reported weaker FY26 trading, with revenue down 3% to £144.9m and adjusted EBITDA down 20% to £10.0m, although revenue was in line with consensus and EBITDA and adjusted EPS were slightly above it. Lower revenue, adverse sales mix and commercial-function reorganisation costs weighed on profit.
Alumasc Group PLC (ALU) · 2026-10-27
Alumasc Group said Q1 FY27 revenue was 10% ahead of Q1 FY26 and margins improved, but revenue was only 5% ahead excluding airport-project sales amid subdued UK residential construction demand. The Board remains confident FY27 progress will be in line with expectations.

Alternative Income REIT PLC (AIRE) · 2026-10-27
Alternative Income REIT shareholders face a potential delisting after Glenstone held or had valid acceptances for 87.08% of AIRE’s existing issued shares at 26 October, including valid acceptances for 59.13%. Glenstone intends to delist AIRE once it has greater certainty over further acceptances and likely squeeze-out rights; compulsory acquisition still depends on reaching 90% of the shares to which the offer relates.
IG Design Group PLC (IGR) · 2026-10-27
IG Design Group delivered stronger first-half trading, but still expects FY2027 results only in line with market expectations. Revenue rose about 12% to £109m in the six months to 30 September 2026 and adjusted operating profit increased to about £5.7m from £4.2m.
