Defence Holdings (LSE: ALRT) company profile: How the former Guild Esports listing pivoted into UK defence software

Defence Holdings PLC has transformed from the listed company formerly known as Guild Esports into an early-stage defence software and investment platform. Its first £226,000 UK Ministry of Defence contract and partnerships with Oracle and Whitespace provide initial validation, but the short contract duration, operating losses and rapid expansion of its share count leave the wider investment case unproven.

Avacta Group (AIM: AVCT) company profile: Can pre|CISION make potent cancer drugs safer and more targeted?

Avacta Group plc is developing peptide drug conjugates intended to release potent anticancer payloads primarily within the tumour microenvironment. Early AVA6000 findings and the launch of the AVA6103 trial have strengthened the scientific case, but larger clinical studies, partnership funding and management of the remaining convertible bond will determine whether pre|CISION creates sustainable shareholder value.

Rheinmetall AG has become one of the central industrial beneficiaries of Europe’s rearmament, building a €73 billion backlog across military vehicles, ammunition, air defence, digital systems and warships.

MP Materials company profile: How Pentagon and Apple deals transformed America’s rare earth miner

MP Materials Corp. is transforming the Mountain Pass rare earth mine into an integrated American supply chain spanning mineral extraction, refining, metal production, recycling and permanent magnets.

CoreWeave company profile: How a crypto miner built a $99.4bn AI cloud backlog

CoreWeave has transformed from a cryptocurrency-mining operation into one of the world’s fastest-growing artificial intelligence cloud providers, securing major commitments from Microsoft Corporation, OpenAI, Meta Platforms, Inc., Anthropic and Jane Street.

Nebius Group has rapidly transformed the international assets retained after the breakup of Yandex into a full-stack artificial intelligence cloud platform.
