LONDON, May 20 (Reuters) - British home improvement retailer
Kingfisher on Thursday raised its first half profit
outlook as it continued to benefit from strong demand during the
COVID-19 pandemic.
The group, which owns B&Q and Screwfix in the United Kingdom
and Castorama and Brico Depot in France and other markets, said
it now expected first half adjusted pretax profit to be in the
range of 580 million pounds to 600 million pounds ($818-$847
million).
