Tekcapital Plc (LSE:TEK) has conditionally secured $2.05m (£1.5m) through a placing of 18.75 million new ordinary shares at 8p each, strengthening its balance sheet and providing additional capital to advance its investment programme. The funding will be directed toward both existing holdings and new opportunities, with a growing focus on generative AI, following what the group describes as solid operational and commercial progress across its portfolio.
Admission of the new shares to AIM is expected around 16 February 2026, which will increase Tekcapital’s total issued share capital to 257,178,525 ordinary shares. While the placing results in some dilution for existing investors, management views the enlarged capital base as enhancing the group’s capacity to pursue technology-led investments and providing greater flexibility to support portfolio companies at key stages of development.
From an investment perspective, the outlook continues to be constrained by weak underlying financial performance, including ongoing negative operating and free cash flow and highly volatile, low revenue levels. These factors persist despite the group’s debt-free balance sheet. Share price technicals are moderately supportive, with the stock trading above major moving averages, and headline valuation metrics appear undemanding. However, operating instability and continued cash burn remain key risks for investors to monitor.
