UK Penny Stocks To Watch In February 2025

The UK market has recently faced challenges, with the FTSE 100 and FTSE 250 indices closing lower due to weak trade data from China, highlighting ongoing global economic uncertainties. Despite these broader market pressures, opportunities can still be found in smaller or newer companies known as penny stocks. Although the term might seem outdated, penny stocks can offer a mix of affordability and growth potential when backed by strong financials, making them an intriguing option for investors seeking value in under-the-radar companies.

The company maintains strong financial health with more cash than debt and short-term assets exceeding liabilities, though interest coverage by EBIT is unclear due to insufficient data.

Visum Technologies (OFEX:VIS)

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

Overview: Visum Technologies plc develops and installs photo and video capture technologies for the leisure industry in Europe and North America, with a market cap of £78,224.

Operations: The company generates its revenue primarily from the recreational products segment, amounting to £0.13 million.

Market Cap: £78.22k

Visum Technologies, with a market cap of £78,224, remains pre-revenue with sales of £0.13 million and faces financial challenges as highlighted by its auditor's going concern doubts. Despite no debt over the past five years and recent capital raised from a £100,000 private placement convertible loan note, the company struggles with short-term assets (£58.6K) insufficient to cover liabilities (£936.2K). The board is experienced but management tenure data is lacking. While revenue grew significantly last year, Visum remains unprofitable with a negative return on equity (-59.13%) and limited cash runway despite additional funding efforts.
