Synectics shares rise 3.6% on AI product launch, interim results

Shares in Synectics rose 3.6% to 191.7p on Tuesday, extending gains from a session low of 180p and high of 195p, as investors reacted to the company’s live presentation of unaudited interim results for the first half of 2026.

The gains followed an investor broadcast at 15:00 Brasília time on the Investor Meet Company platform, during which CEO Amanda Larnder outlined progress under the company’s "5P" strategy to transition from a project-driven model toward a scalable platform and partnership-led business. Synectics highlighted early commercial traction in transport, leisure and hospitality, critical national infrastructure, and energy sectors.

The company introduced Synergy SEARCH, a new AI-driven tool designed for rapid natural language searches within live and recorded video content on its Synergy platform. Larnder cited an estimated addressable market of approximately £2 billion for the technology, positioning it as a key growth driver.

Synectics maintained its interim dividend at 2.2 pence per share, reaffirming its progressive dividend policy. Separately, the company secured a commercial contract valued at $2.4 million to supply the Synergy platform to a major U.S. casino operator.

British equities traded mixed on the day, with no dominant macroeconomic catalyst, while U.S. indices posted slight declines. Synectics shares remain well below their 52-week high of 350p.
