Tooru PLC (AIM:TOO, FRA:73N) CEO Scott Livingston spoke with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's half-year performance, growth across OAF and Pulsin, expanding retail distribution and its acquisition strategy for the second half of 2026. Livingston said Tooru generated more than £1 million of EBITDA from its operating businesses in H1, with OAF gaining traction through increased distribution and securing additional stores with Tesco and Asda after meeting key performance indicators during its trial period. "We've only just started," he said, noting OAF remains in a relatively small number of stores across both retailers, with encouraging early conversations under way with other chains. He also discussed the recovery at Pulsin, which has returned to positive cash flow and EBITDA after earlier challenges, with strong demand and growing European distribution supporting a cautious shift from a defensive approach back towards growth. Following a fundraise of nearly £1 million, Tooru is assessing potential acquisitions, targeting wellness and natural-product businesses that fit its existing portfolio, serve similar consumer demographics, and could benefit from its manufacturing capabilities. Looking ahead to H2 2026, Livingston identified three priorities: increasing OAF distribution with major retailers, expanding Pulsin's European reach, and pursuing suitable acquisitions.

Microsoft (MSFT) has just raised its quarterly dividend to $0.98 per share, an 8% increase, putting fresh attention on how the AI spending cycle lines up with ongoing cash returns. The Microsoft share price has climbed 31.03% over the past 90 days and delivered a 3.49% 30 day share price return, yet the 1 year total shareholder return is slightly down 1.73%.

Rapid revenue growth is pushing expectations even higher

Selling a parent's long-held stock to cover nursing home bills can trigger a massive capital gains tax bill, or almost no tax at all, and the difference comes down to one detail most families get wrong before they ever call their accountant.

The data-center buildout just got more expensive. The Fed’s quarter-point rate increase will likely add to the already substantial borrowing costs for the tech firms that are taking on massive amounts of debt to construct the infrastructure needed to power the artificial intelligence revolution.
