London afternoon: M&S marches higher

Wed, 06th Apr 2011 14:56

Brokers have been queuing up today to praise the results from Marks & Spencer after the bellwether of the UK retail sector delivered a forecast busting trading update. The high street stalwart saw a sharp drop in like-for-like sales of clothes and other non-food items in the 13 weeks to 2 April, though the fall wasn't as severe as expected and overall sales growth was maintained. Peel Hunt upgraded the stock from "sell" to "hold", saying it sees limited downside at this juncture. Tom Gadsby, an analyst at Matrix Group. Was also impressed. "The headline figure is the general merchandise LFL sales number, with a decline of -3.9% something of a triumph given that the range was -4% to -8%, consensus was -6.2% and the house broker was on -7.0%," he enthused, adding that M&S suddenly looks very good value.Sam Hart, at Charles Stanley, is a fan of the store's more mature customer profile and bias towards higher socio-economic groups. Spending levels among these are likely to remain more resilient, Hart reckons, and with the shares yielding around 5% the broker's advice remains to accumulate the shares.M&S shares lead the market higher, supported by sector peers such as fashion chain Next, department store Debenhams and supermarket Tesco.Figures from Italian restaurant chain Prezzo also suggested the consumer outlook is not that bad. Adjusted pre-tax profits in the 53 weeks to 2 January were up by 12% from the previous year to £14.4m on revenues that climbed by 15% to £104.8m. Prezzo also reported a strong start to 2011 and said it is confident for the year ahead.Financial software provider Misys is wanted after it reported a 7% rise in year on year revenue in the third quarter ended 28 February 2011, following strong demand for its products, and said it was poised to meet medium-term targets. Revenue during the third quarter rose to £85m while year to date the figure rose 2%. Order intake rose 34% to £49m and 13% year to date. Drugs firm Shire has filed a lawsuit against US rival Watson Pharmaceuticals, claiming an infringement of Shire's ADDERALL XR patents, and a breach of contract.Norwegian Airlines has ordered its first ever Rolls-Royce engines. Norwegian has selected Rolls-Royce's Trent 100 engines to power nine Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft. The airline has also signed a $450m Rolls-Royce TotalCare long-term engine services contract.White collar recruitment group Robert Walters pointed to strong growth in its Asia Pacific and European operations as it posted a 23% rise in year-on-year income for the first quarter and reported that its Japanese business, which was affected by the earthquake, is "now operational."Department store group Beale will more than double the number of stores under its ownership after acquiring 19 further sites from a co-operative society for a total consideration of £7.5m.Motivcom, the marketing services group, hailed another year of strong growth in 2010. Revenues rose by 12.8% to £15.48m. Headline profit before tax improved by 34% to £4.69m. Its cash generated from operations improved considerably, slightly more than doubling, to reach £7.72m.---jh

IN BRIEF: MC Mining coal production down at Uitkomst mine

MC Mining Ltd - Western Australia-based, South Africa-focused coal miner - Produces 101,616 tonnes of coal in the quarter that ended March 31 at Uitkomst metallurgical and thermal coal mine in South Africa, down from 124,144 tonnes a year earlier. Says production was affected by challenging geological conditions, floods in the area, as well as national electricity blackouts that regularly interrupted operations at the colliery. Notes health and safety "remains a priority and we continue to make progress" despite one lost-time injury recorded during the quarter, down from two in the previous quarter. Uitkomst quarterly sales up to 78,032 tonnes from 71,361 tonnes a year earlier, comprising 23,326 tonnes of high grade domestic coal sales, down from 62,571 tonnes; 2,801 tonnes of lower grade middlings coal from 8,610 tonnes; and coal exports of 51,905 tonnes from nothing a year earlier. Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Godfrey Gomwe says: "The Uitkomst colliery was impacted by the increased incidents of electricity blackouts implemented by Eskom, the state power utility, as well as flooding in KwaZulu-Natal during February 2023. The decline in international thermal coal prices experienced in the period has resulted in the company assessing various alternative marketing strategies."
