The stock was recently added to Goldman Sachs's 'Conviction Buy List' to reflect exposure to London office rents, amplified through planned West End developments.On Thursday, Comet stores owner Kesa Electricals will find its performance being compared to that of Currys owner DSG International. DSG traded ahead of expectations over Christmas and saw an 8% increase in like for like sales in the 12 weeks to 9 January compared to a year earlier, yet the stock price was nevertheless hammered. Kesa may therefore be under pressure to top DSG's performance, which would require an improvement on recent trends.Like for like sales at Comet rose 2%, ahead of forecasts for 0-1.5%, in the six months to the end of October, Wednesday will see the release of the minutes of the January meeting of the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC).
