Domino Printing Sciences has written down its investment in Ten Media. In an effort to reduce its reliance on stamping bar codes and expiry dates on foods, the company agreed to pay $50m last year for a 15% stake in Ten. However, the venture hit operational and regulatory issues, and ran out of cash. Domino has written down the investment to a tenth of its value, losing $45m. The Times' Tempus column said it is a "black mark for a promising high-tech British company with a strong position in global markets". The announcement came with half-year figures which showed a fall in underlying profits as the company invested heavily in research and development. Tempus said the company's vulnerability to macro-economic trends means that while markets in the US and Germany are doing well, other parts of Europe are weak. "The shares, even after recent falls, sell on about 16 times' earnings. Hard to justify at that level."

Nomura has trimmed its target price for beverages group Diageo from 2,400p to 2,250p ahead of its results next month, but has kept its 'buy' rating for the stock, saying that the Guinness maker has strong defensive attractions in uncertain markets. "With its wide portfolio of emerging markets (none accounting for over 4.0% of group earnings before interest and tax) and its large exposure to US (c35%), we see some strong defensive characteristics and believe that medium-term revenue guidance of 6.0% per annual can still be achieved, even with some emerging market slowdown," said analyst Ian Shackleton.
