TruFin PLC (AIM:TRU) shares traded up in Tuesday’s early deals after the software firm told investors it expects revenue for 2025 to be materially ahead of current market expectations.
It said revenue for the year would be at least £51 million, whilst earnings (adjusted EBITDA) is forecast at no less than £8 million.
The stronger performance is driven by from Trufin’s video game publishing business Playstack, via its Balatro game and newly released titles.
Trufin, which has a market value of around £95 million, also said it will launch a share buyback programme of up to £4 million.
"We're off to a strong start in 2025,” chief executive James van den Bergh said in a statement.
“Playstack continues to outperform, with the success of Balatro and Abiotic Factor significantly enhancing its position as a compelling asset-whether as a standalone business or for a strategic buyer.”
He added: “We remain confident in the group's outlook for 2025 and beyond.”
In London, TruFin shares rose by around 6% in Monday’s early trade changing hands at 88.25p each.
