Invinity Energy Systems (AIM:IES)

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

Overview: Invinity Energy Systems plc is a company that manufactures and sells vanadium flow batteries for energy storage markets across Asia, Australia, Europe, and North America with a market cap of £96.92 million.

Operations: The company generates revenue primarily from its Batteries / Battery Systems segment, amounting to £5.02 million.

Market Cap: £96.92M

Invinity Energy Systems has been actively expanding its market presence through strategic partnerships and projects, such as a recent agreement with Guangxi United Energy Storage in China and a significant solar-plus-storage project in Hungary. Despite generating £5.02 million in revenue from its battery systems, the company remains unprofitable with increasing losses over the past five years. However, it benefits from no debt and sufficient cash runway for over a year. Recent developments include planning approval for a large-scale energy storage project in England, supported by a £10 million grant, positioning Invinity as an important player in long-duration energy storage solutions.

INSPECS Group (AIM:SPEC)

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

Overview: INSPECS Group plc is a company that designs, produces, sells, markets, and distributes fashion eyewear, lenses, and OEM products across multiple regions including the United Kingdom, Europe, North America, South America, Asia, Africa, and Australia with a market cap of £46.26 million.

Operations: The company's revenue is primarily generated from Frames and Optics (£175.99 million), followed by Manufacturing (£22.21 million) and Lenses (£5.21 million).

Market Cap: £46.26M

INSPECS Group faces challenges with a 2.9% revenue decline in the first half of 2025 and flat full-year guidance, yet it maintains financial stability with short-term assets exceeding liabilities and a satisfactory net debt to equity ratio of 23.2%. Despite being unprofitable, the company has over three years of cash runway supported by positive free cash flow growth. Management changes are underway, including the search for a new Chair and CFO following board disputes. While earnings are forecasted to grow significantly, current negative return on equity reflects ongoing profitability issues amidst stable weekly volatility.

Cobra Resources plc, with a market capitalization of £21.57 million, is a pre-revenue company focused on the exploration and development of rare earth elements (REEs) through innovative in situ recovery (ISR) methods. Recent announcements highlight promising assay results from historical uranium-focused drilling and ongoing metallurgical studies aimed at optimizing recoveries at its Boland Project. Despite financial challenges, including an auditor's going concern doubt and limited cash runway, Cobra remains debt-free with experienced management steering its strategic expansion through new tenement acquisitions. The company's volatile share price reflects the inherent risks associated with early-stage mining ventures.
