The price move added about £2.2 million in equity value based on the company’s 350.7 million shares after its January fundraise. At the session high of 2.30p, just 20 shares changed hands, with a cash value of around 46 pence. The annual report showed 350,724,912 ordinary shares outstanding post-fundraise.

No new RNS from the company were posted in the last 24 to 48 hours on the main PRM feeds checked. Investegate’s PRM page still showed June 22 as the latest RNS, after June 1 directorate changes and some AGM items in May. The company’s news page also listed June 22 as the most recent release.

Proteome said on June 22 it picked up another major clinical contract linked to its target engagement and chemoproteomics platform. The company said the deal could set up a new clinical trial program in 2026. Executive Chairman Christopher Pearce said the contract points to “momentum and growth” in chemoproteomics services following interest at the ASMS event in San Diego.

The real test for investors is if services can cover the drop in TMT revenue. Services overtook TMT as the bigger line in 2025, but total revenue still dropped.

Pearce wrote in the annual report that 2025 is “the bottom of the cycle for our business.” Management expects services to grow and TMT reagents to bounce back after the reagents business hurt group cash flow, which forced the company into a share placing and retail offer in January 2026.

The risk here is that ramping up services depends on landing orders, not just having capacity in place. Proteome itself said in its risk section that it’s not clear if contract proteomic services will bring in enough revenue given the competition. The company also said opening its U.S. lab means there’s now a higher risk of too few orders to make the business profitable.

  • FTSE 100 Rallies Again, Edging Closer to February High
    July 3, 2026, 4:37 AM EDT. The FTSE 100 pushed higher for a second straight day on Friday, topping out at levels not seen since March and moving closer to the February 27 record of 10,911. Utility stocks like SSE (up 2.5%) and National Grid (up 1.5%) led gains early, with miners including Fresnillo (up 2%) and Anglo American (up 1%) adding support. The move was helped by upbeat Chinese services sector numbers and softer US jobs data that eased worries over more Federal Reserve rate hikes. Trading was light due to the US Independence Day holiday shutdown.
