Chaleit shares jump 15.7% to 66.5p on second day of AIM trading

The cybersecurity consultancy's shares have risen well above their 50p placing price within two days of debuting on AIM.

Chaleit Holdings (AIM: CHA) saw its shares climb a further 15.7% to 66.5p on Thursday, extending gains made since dealings in the cybersecurity consultancy began just a day earlier.

The move takes the stock well clear of its 50p placing price, with investors apparently encouraged by the strength of demand around the float. Chaleit raised £1.1m through the placing, while founder Dan Haagman separately banked £1m by selling existing shares as part of the listing process.

Chaleit's rapid re-rating was one of several standout moves on AIM, where small-cap investors had plenty to digest. Power Probe (LON: PWR) rose 17.6% to 53.5p after unveiling a $1m share buyback programme, though the stock remains well below its 82p flotation price from December 2025. Mercantile Ports & Logistics (LON: MPL) bounced 24.5% to 3.3p ahead of a tribunal ruling on its disputed Karanja Terminal & Logistics project, where creditors have backed a rival ownership proposal that Mercantile is contesting.

Not every mover was heading in the right direction. MyCelx Technologies (LON: MYX) tumbled 19.8% to 46.5p after flagging a delayed $2m Middle East order and warning of a further $1m-$1.5m hit to 2026 revenues from customer disruption, prompting its chief executive to step in with a $500,000 bridging loan. Next Fifteen Group (LON: NFG) fell 11% to 293.75p despite describing trading as in line with expectations, after interim like-for-like revenues slipped 1% to £216.4m and pre-tax profit dipped 2% to £30.2m.

For Chaleit, the near-term focus will be on whether early momentum can be sustained once the initial post-IPO trading enthusiasm settles, with the market watching for further updates on trading performance now that the company has completed its transition to public markets.
