Simply Wall St Financial Health Rating: ★★★★★☆
Overview: Begbies Traynor Group plc is a UK-based company offering business recovery, financial advisory, and property services consultancy, with a market cap of £195.53 million.
Operations: The company generates revenue from two primary segments: Property Advisory, contributing £48 million, and Business Recovery and Advisory, which brings in £111.4 million.
Market Cap: £195.53M
Begbies Traynor Group plc, recently renamed BTG Consulting plc, has shown substantial earnings growth, with a 296% increase over the past year compared to its 5-year average of 60.6%. The company’s financial health is bolstered by well-covered debt and interest payments. Despite a large one-off loss impacting recent results, it maintains strong short-term asset coverage over liabilities and continues to offer a reliable dividend yield of 3.62%, recently increased by 7%. Trading at significant value below fair estimates, it presents potential for investors seeking exposure in this sector without substantial dilution concerns.
AIM:BEG Financial Position Analysis as at Feb 2026
Simply Wall St Financial Health Rating: ★★★★★★
Overview: Naked Wines plc operates a direct-to-consumer wine retailing business in Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States, with a market cap of £53.09 million.
Story Continues
Operations: The company generates revenue from its direct-to-consumer wine retail operations in the United Kingdom (£105.44 million), the United States (£97.26 million), and Australia (£28.25 million).
Market Cap: £53.09M
Naked Wines plc, with a market cap of £53.09 million, operates across the UK, US, and Australia, generating substantial revenue from its direct-to-consumer model. Despite being unprofitable with losses increasing at 14.4% annually over five years, it maintains a strong cash position exceeding debt levels and has not significantly diluted shareholders recently. The company’s recent share buyback program could signal confidence in its valuation as it trades below estimated fair value. However, challenges persist with declining earnings and an inexperienced board averaging 1.6 years tenure amidst ongoing executive changes aimed at strategic realignment.
AIM:WINE Financial Position Analysis as at Feb 2026
Simply Wall St Financial Health Rating: ★★★★★☆
Overview: Braemar Plc operates as a shipbroking service provider across the United Kingdom, Singapore, Australia, Switzerland, the United States, Germany, and other international markets with a market cap of £71.58 million.
Operations: The company’s revenue is derived from three segments: Chartering (£77.11 million), Risk Advisory (£23.42 million), and Investment Advisory (£29.24 million).
Market Cap: £71.58M
Braemar Plc, with a market cap of £71.58 million, operates across multiple international markets and derives revenue from Chartering (£77.11M), Risk Advisory (£23.42M), and Investment Advisory (£29.24M). The company faces challenges with negative earnings growth (-19.9%) over the past year and declining profits at 11.5% annually over five years, yet it trades significantly below estimated fair value, suggesting potential undervaluation. Despite a low return on equity (5%), Braemar maintains satisfactory debt levels with net debt to equity at 18.5%, well-covered interest payments by EBIT (5.8x), and short-term assets exceeding liabilities, indicating strong liquidity management amidst financial volatility.
