Operations: The company generates £48.62 million in revenue from its electronic tracking devices, products, and services segment.

Big Technologies PLC, with a market cap of £224.51 million, operates debt-free and has not diluted shareholders significantly over the past year. Despite being unprofitable with increasing losses at 33.5% per annum over five years, it holds substantial short-term assets (£113.4M) exceeding its liabilities, suggesting financial stability for ongoing operations. The company trades significantly below its estimated fair value but faces challenges such as an inexperienced management team and board with average tenures under one year. Recent insider selling may raise concerns among investors about future prospects despite forecasted earnings growth of 102.73% per year.

AIM:BIG Financial Position Analysis as at Jan 2026
Simply Wall St Financial Health Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Operations: The company generates £156.99 million in revenue from its textile manufacturing segment.
Market Cap: £62.67M
Likewise Group Plc, with a market cap of £62.67 million, has shown a commendable growth trajectory, achieving profitability over the past five years with earnings increasing by 70.3% annually. Despite its low return on equity at 3.3%, the company benefits from an experienced board and satisfactory debt levels, with net debt to equity at 19.5%. Its short-term assets (£47.3M) adequately cover both short-term and long-term liabilities, though interest payments are not well covered by EBIT (1.7x). The stock trades below fair value estimates while maintaining stable weekly volatility and avoiding shareholder dilution recently.
AIM:LIKE Financial Position Analysis as at Jan 2026
Simply Wall St Financial Health Rating: ★★★★★★
Overview: On the Beach Group plc is an online retailer specializing in short haul beach holidays under the On the Beach brand in the United Kingdom, with a market cap of £321.69 million.
Operations: The company’s revenue is primarily generated through its online platforms, Onthebeach.Co.Uk and Sunshine.Co.Uk, with a total of £121.4 million.
Market Cap: £321.69M
On the Beach Group plc, with a market cap of £321.69 million, exhibits strong financial stability and growth potential. The company is debt-free, ensuring no interest coverage concerns, and its short-term assets (£442 million) comfortably exceed liabilities. Earnings have grown by 21.8% over the past year, surpassing industry averages despite a decline in net income to £8.6 million from £13 million previously. Trading at 52.2% below estimated fair value suggests potential undervaluation, while recent earnings per share improvements highlight operational efficiency gains through organic growth and share buybacks rather than mergers or acquisitions at this time.
