SRT Marine Systems has recently turned profitable, reporting a net income of £2.03 million for the year ended June 30, 2025. Despite its profitability, the company’s debt levels remain high with a net debt to equity ratio of 45.9%, and operating cash flow coverage is inadequate at just 6.1%. However, SRT’s short-term assets comfortably cover both short and long-term liabilities, indicating financial stability in the near term. The management team and board are highly experienced with average tenures of over a decade each, supporting strategic consistency amidst growth forecasts of approximately 58% annually in earnings.

Supreme Plc, with a market cap of £175.39 million, primarily generates revenue from its Vaping and Drinks & Wellness segments. Despite a decline in net income to £9.01 million for the half-year ended September 30, 2025, Supreme maintains financial stability with no debt and sufficient short-term assets (£87.2M) to cover liabilities (£43.5M). The board and management team are experienced, though recent significant insider selling raises concerns. While trading at a good value compared to peers, the company faces challenges with unstable dividends and negative earnings growth over the past year despite high-quality earnings and strong return on equity (26.8%).
AIM:SUP Financial Position Analysis as at Jan 2026
Simply Wall St Financial Health Rating: ★★★★★★
Overview: FDM Group (Holdings) plc offers IT services across various regions including the UK, North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia Pacific with a market cap of £146.51 million.
Operations: The company’s revenue segment is derived from its Global Professional Services Provider, generating £214.80 million.
Market Cap: £146.51M
FDM Group (Holdings) plc, with a market cap of £146.51 million, is debt-free and trades at a good value compared to its peers. Despite its seasoned management and board, the company faces challenges with declining earnings forecasted to decrease by an average of 10.8% annually over the next three years. The company’s profit margins have also contracted from 10.3% last year to 7.2%. While FDM’s short-term assets (£63M) comfortably cover both short-term (£27M) and long-term liabilities (£16.9M), its dividend yield of 13.81% is not well-supported by earnings, raising sustainability concerns despite high-quality past earnings and strong return on equity (26.3%).
