Aeorema Lifts Profit Guidance 18%

Aeorema Communications has raised its full-year revenue and profit guidance again, but the AIM-listed events agency's shares have faded from their opening spike.

Aeorema Communications (AIM: AEO), the London-based events and communications agency, raised its 2026 guidance again this morning, lifting its profit floor about 18% to at least £1.25m. The shares jumped at the open, then faded.

The stock opened at 97p against a previous close of 87.5p and touched 100p, matching its high on the 28th of October. By 9am UK time it was 90p, up 2.9% on the day and 44% year to date from 62.5p at the end of December. Only about 43,000 shares had changed hands, and the quote is delayed.

In a statement released at 7am, the company said revenue for the year to December should be no less than £23.8m, up from a previous floor of £23.0m, a rise of 3.5%. A guidance upgrade simply means a company raising its own forecast.

Pre-tax profit, excluding non-trading foreign exchange effects, is now expected to be no less than £1.25m, against the earlier no less than £1.06m. Aeorema, which runs the Cheerful Twentyfirst and Eventful brands and has offices in New York and Amsterdam, gave two reasons: larger project scopes for September to December, and better-than-expected margins on September projects.

The previous guidance came on the 22nd of September alongside interim results. The company called today’s change a further upgrade that strengthens an already record outlook. Because both figures are floors, they set a minimum, not a point forecast.
