Manolete Partners - another large case settlement banked by the insolvency claims financier
Shares in Manolete Partners (AIM:MANO) have slipped by 1% to 41.5p despite the insolvency claims financing company announcing the successful completion of a large case in late September 2026, which was settled for £3 million. The settlement forms part of expected realised revenues for the current financial year alongside realisations from its portfolio of other cases.
On the back of today’s news, expectations are unchanged. Investors will get a further update on H1 trading in early October, with interim results set for November.

Trading on track
Ahead of its AGM last month, Manolete announced that trading had been positive and in-line with expectations for FY2027 (to-end March). Realised revenues were said to be ahead of the prior year, and the value of the forward book continued to increase, driven by growth in both the number and average value of new cases signed. This followed the completion of a large case in July 2026, with a £3.425 million settlement payment received in the same month.
