Loss of contract appears to evaluate to a 11% loss in revenue , so is a 30% drop in SP warranted or is there a problem that may discourage others from renewing contracts? if no problems then the drop appears overdone at this time

Mike Welburn, Chief Executive of Tricorn, commented: "We are extremely disappointed to be advised of this decision. We have continued to improve operational performance within the business and remain committed to the aerospace sector. We have a healthy pipeline of new opportunities and will be working hard to replace this lost volume as quickly as possible." The impact of this contract loss on full year earnings is under evaluation at present and the Group will provide a further update at the time of the release of its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 September 2012, which is expected to be on 3 December 2012.

Seymour Pierce has raised its target price and maintained its 'buy' rating for luxury brand Burberry ahead of the group's first-half results on November 7th.

Jefferies has downgraded its rating for engineering giant Weir from 'buy' to 'hold' ahead of its third-quarter results next week, saying that its short-term stance is one of 'rising caution' over risks to 2012 and 2013 consensus forecasts. "We have not turned hugely bearish on Weir (more that we are cautious over the near-term) and we continue to like the business over the long-term," the broker said. "There is, however, insufficient upside to our target price (1900p) to warrant a more positive recommendation." The previous target was 2,185p.

Investec has retained a 'sell' recommendation and 570p target price for car insurance firm Admiral after the group revealed that revenue growth had slowed in the third quarter. "We believe that, while the forecast 7% yield will support the stock, paying 12x earnings for what is essentially a UK motor insurer is too much," said analyst Kevin Ryan.

Valuation: Growth opportunity, value rating The current share price appears to attach significant risk to market expectations, which may simply reflect softer demand conditions or, perhaps, some unease with the variability of production schedules experienced in H1. Meeting FY13 guidance would help to reduce concerns here and refocus attention on growth prospects.

Canaccord Genuity initiated coverage of Experian (EXPN) with a "sell" rating and 890p target price. The broker forecasts a slump in the credit checker's organic growth due to a deterioration of the Brazilian economy, which was the primary engine of growth in 2012, accounting for 20% of sales and 50% of organic sales growth. The broker sees a period of "sharp deceleration" in credit formation in Brazil and cites a sharp drop in real GDP growth from 4% to 0.5% coupled with waning employment prospects

Shore Capital maintained its buy recommendation on retailer Marks & Spencer (MKS) as it believes the company's improved e-commerce facility creates a basis for a more competitive and sustainable revenue stream. The broker noted that the food and clothing retailer's share price has performed well recently, riding the momentum of a general recovery in the sector, but pointed to continued weakness in the womenswear market. Shore added that the firm's interim results will be release on 6th November and believes that a lot will ride on the coat tails of the performance of ladies clothing sales in the second quarter

From **************: Wednesday 31st October 2012 The Markets The New York Stock Exchange opened after the longest closure since 9/11 as the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy began to sink in. The storm has created an estimated 18 to 24 billion pounds in clearing up costs. In the UK, a report suggested that millions of poor and middle income households may remain unaffected by any economic recovery. The Commission on Living Standards warned that high unemployment will keep wages low and called for state subsidies to boost employment. On the continent, Greece's draft budget for 2013 predicts a deeper recession and worse debt problems than previously forecasted. Instead of shrinking 3.8%, the economy is expected to contract by 4.5%, with government borrowing predicted to reach 5.2% of economic output rather than the originally anticipated 4.2%. Meanwhile, unemployment in the Eurozone rose by 10 basis points in September to 11.6%, some 25.8 million people, exceeding consensus forecasts of 11.4%. At the London close the Dow Jones was down by 42.69 points at 13,064.52 and the Nasdaq was down by 18.78 points at 2,969.17. In London the FTSE 100 fell by 63.62 points to 5,786.28; the FTSE 250 finished 7.34 points down at 11,944.00; the FTSE All-Share lost 28.53 points to 3,026.45; and the FTSE AIM Index increased by 1.66 points to 3133.51. Broker Notes Following the recent surge in share price, Getech (GTC) has been downgraded from a "buy" to an "outperform" by WH Ireland, but with an increased target price of 52.5p, from 35p. The broker believes that Getech's strong momentum and supportive oil and gas prices coupled with improved marketing should give it a rating at least in line with the wider oil and gas sector, of around 14.1 times earnings. The shares jumped 2p to 51.5p. Panmure Gordon upgraded its recommendation on Interior Services Group (ISG) from a "hold" to a "buy" and raised the target price from 112p to 170p. The broker was impressed by the company's new contract wins, particularly against a backdrop of a tough UK construction market. Panmure added that the office refurbishment company's international expansion through acquisition and organic growth will help diversify revenues, with overseas revenues now accounting for 20% of total sales

Royal Dutch Shell has ambitious plans to increase production over the next few years, and despite investor fears that the level of investment needed will crimp returns, Questor in The Telegraph feels confident this is the correct strategy for Shell to pursue. The most important thing for investors to consider about Shell is its cash generation. The company's stated strategy is to improve cash flow by 50% to $200bn over the 2012-15 period. The quarterly dividend was increased by 1c to 43c and it will be paid on December 20th. The shares trade without entitlement to this payment from November 14th. The prospective yield in 2013 is a healthy 5%. The company has the scope to increase its payments, despite its ambitious capital expenditure plans. Gearing stood at just 8.6%, down from 10.8% a year ago, so borrowings are very low. The shares remain a buy for income and delivery on strategy.

Tempus says that Restaurant Group, which runs Frankie & Benny’s eateries at many of the country’s biggest cinema complexes, reported record trading for the brand last weekend thanks to Skyfall and is licking its lips over the forthcoming launch of The Hobbit and the next installment of the Twilight Saga. But yesterday’s trading update suggests Frankie’s is by no means reliant on a strong film schedule. Andrew Page, Restaurant Group’s Chief Executive, said that the chain’s trading had held up well during the summer despite a weak film programme and the rival attractions of Euro 2012 and the Olympic Games. The shares, up 2.2% to 383p, are trading on a chunky 16 times’ this year’s earnings, but with a strong balance sheet and good cashflow, Restaurant Group is proving one of the recession’s winners. Hold.
