AIM - LOSERS

Eagle Eye Solutions Group PLC, down 23% at 365p, 12-month range 365p-590p. Says group revenue was £19.5 million for the six months ended December 31, up 0.4% from £24.1 million the year before. Software-as-a-service revenue increased 10% to £19.5 million, but Professional Services revenue fell 16% to £4.4 million and SMS revenue is down 78% to around £300,000. Looking ahead, Eagle Eye expects double-digit SaaS revenue growth. However for financial 2025 and 2026, it expects revenue to be approximately 15% and 18% below current market forecasts, respectively. Says this is mainly due to the significant reduction in Professional Services revenue alongside lengthening sales cycles due to the macroeconomic climate. Company also announces the signing of a five-year global original equipment manufacturer agreement with ‘a major multinational enterprise software vendor’. Features of its AIR platform will be integrated with ‘the vendor’s new cloud-based loyalty solution’. Eagle Eye expects to launch this year, and for the first customers to be live in early 2026.
