EasyJet Offers Both Growth and Income

Dow Jones – 3 Oct 2014

Shares in EasyJet (EZJ.LN) are in demand Friday, trading 7.1% higher at 1468p, after the airline raised its earnings guidance. Agreeing to pay their largest ever dividend payment, based on a pay-out ratio of 40% of profits after tax, should have investors very excited as the company is set for a fourth consecutive year of record profits, says James Abbott at Accendo Markets. “People always look for growth and income in these markets and EasyJet offers both of these. People should buckle up and enjoy the ride with the shares this year!”

Next Buffeted by a Warm September — Market Talk

Dow Jones – 30 Sept 2014

Next (NXT.LN) falls 3.7% to 6610p after warning that it is likely to lower its full year profit guidance if the unusually warm U.K. weather continues for all of October. “Ahead of investor meetings this week, and with the shares now 10% off recent highs, management is trying to put markets at ease in terms of FY expectations by highlighting that the Autumnal turn tends to see a rush which helps make up some of the shortfall,” says Mike van Dulken at Accendo Markets. That said, the board must be hoping for a cold wind to blow pretty soon to boost the fourth quarter, he adds.

UK Market Talk Roundup: Shares Losing

Dow Jones – 29 Sept 2014

It’s profit warning number five in two years for multinational infrastructure group Balfour Beatty (BBY.LN). “Write downs across a number of key contracts are to blame. Shares are down 30% from year highs after a string of multiple profit downgrades, investors need to question the future for Balfour and whether 5 warnings in 2 years is a sign to jump ship,” Says Amrit Panesar at Accendo Markets.
