Operations: The company generates revenue of £8.40 million from the development and commercialisation of MED3000.

Market Cap: £102.82M

Futura Medical, with a market cap of £102.82 million, has demonstrated significant revenue growth, reporting £7 million in sales for the first half of 2024 compared to £1.7 million the previous year. Despite being unprofitable, it has reduced losses over the past five years and is debt-free with no long-term liabilities.

Analysts widely agree on potential stock price appreciation despite high share price volatility recently.

Good Energy Group PLC, with a market cap of £52.93 million, remains unprofitable but is trading at a significant discount to its estimated fair value. The company has successfully reduced its debt-to-equity ratio from 280.3% to 9.9% over five years and has more cash than total debt, indicating strong financial management despite shareholder dilution by 8.6%.

Market Cap: £66.98M

While the company trades at a discount to its estimated fair value, recent significant insider selling could be a concern for potential investors seeking stability in penny stocks.
