Market Report: Taking Stock
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Expect disposals at Hunting, the aviation, defence and oil group. Its air cargo business is likely to be the first major asset to be sold. It could be worth up to pounds 100m. Parts of the oil division, valued at up to pounds 40m, are also likely to go with Hunting developing its Canadian and North Sea operations. The shares, at 227.5p, are a shade from their peak.
Jarvis, the construction group which has moved into rail maintenance, is rumoured to be in line to clinch a rail servicing contract with Eurotunnel. The shares hardened to 379p.
High-flying Druid, an IT group, may have chosen an unfortunate time to invest in building an Asian operation. At 749p its shares enjoy a glamour rating and would react badly to any slip up.
