Zenith Energy Ltd - Africa and Italy-focused oil and gas company - Swings to a pretax loss of C$1.9 million, or £1.1 million in the six months ended September 30 from C$259,000 profit a year prior.

This is mainly due to a 62% increase in administrative expenses to C$8.1 million from C$5.0 million the year before. Revenue drops 88% to C$1.4 million from C$11.5 million the year before. Looking ahead, Chief Executive Officer Andrea Cattaneo says: ‘We are greatly encouraged by the current energy pricing environment and the outlook in terms of growth potential for credible junior operators, enabling Zenith to access large, high-quality assets being divested by oil and gas majors in view of the ongoing energy transition.’

Current stock price: 2.70 pence, down 8.5%
