Vodafone Share News (VOD)

Stocks have continued rising following yesterday's Eurozone agreement, with banks unsurprisingly in the vanguard of the advance.Barclays, RBS and Lloyds are the top three risers in the FTSE 100.However, today's standout stock is easyJet, with the budget airline up 15% after saying it expects full-year pre-tax profits to fall in the range of £200m to £230m. Market consensus is for an adjusted profit before tax of £183.1m.Similarly, paper and packaging firm Mondi expects profits for the first half of 2011 to be "considerably higher" than in the same period last year, it said in an announcement today, but its gains are more modest.New World Resources, the central Europe focused coal miner, has reiterated its full year production and sales targets, but prices have been falling. The shares are lower. It said average agreed price of coking coal for delivery in the third calendar quarter of 2011 is €192 a tonne, a decrease of 9% from the second quarter realised price, "in line with lower international prices both for hard and semi-soft coking coal."Mobile phone networks giant Vodafone has seen revenue from its core business grow 1.5% in the second quarter of 2011 although the firm is certainly struggling against some serious headwinds in some markets, particularly in southern Europe. The group reiterated its previous performance guidance for the current financial year.Turning to smaller companies, Blavod Wine and Spirits has taken a tumble after it warned that sales and losses were below the board's expectations in its traditionally weak first quarter. As a result the owner of Blavod Black Vodka now expects results for the current year ending 31 March 2012 to fall short of market expectations. Education IT services provider RM falls after saying it had a tough time between 1 April and 21 July and thinks its performance may have been below expectations.
