Operations: Corero Network Security generates revenue of $23.99 million through its distributed denial of service (DDoS) protection solutions offered worldwide.

Market Cap: £89.63M

Corero Network Security, with a market cap of £89.63 million, has shown significant growth by becoming profitable over the past year and achieving a 10% revenue increase in 2024 to US$24.6 million. The company is debt-free and its strategic expansions include an expanded partnership in the Middle East AI sector and increased global sales efforts, enhancing its market presence.

CPPGroup (AIM:CPP)

Simply Wall St Financial Health Rating: ★★★★★☆

Overview: CPPGroup Plc provides assistance products and services across the United Kingdom, India, Spain, Turkey, and internationally with a market cap of £8.02 million.

Operations: The company generates revenue from segments including Blink (£0.93 million), India (£174.81 million), Legacy (£9.33 million), and Turkey (£6.44 million).

Market Cap: £8.02M

CPPGroup, with a market cap of £8.02 million, operates internationally but remains unprofitable with increasing losses over the past five years. Despite having no debt and a cash runway exceeding three years if free cash flow continues to grow, its short-term assets (£30.9M) fall short of covering liabilities (£32.9M). The company’s revenue is primarily driven by its India segment (£174.81 million), while other segments like Blink contribute minimally (£0.93 million). CPPGroup's management and board are experienced, yet the negative return on equity (-109.59%) highlights ongoing profitability challenges despite trading at good value compared to peers.

Overview: Shuka Minerals Plc focuses on the exploration, development, and mining of energy commodities in Africa with a market cap of £2.86 million.

Operations: Shuka Minerals Plc has not reported any specific revenue segments.

Market Cap: £2.86M

Shuka Minerals Plc, with a market cap of £2.86 million, is pre-revenue and focuses on energy commodities in Africa.

Despite being debt-free and having short-term assets (£606.9K) exceeding liabilities (£575.4K), Shuka faces challenges due to its limited cash runway and high share price volatility. The company announced a proposed dividend increase to SEK 8 per share, indicating potential confidence in future prospects despite current financial constraints.
