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.ASW, the steel group, is either staging a dramatic recovery or is being stalked by a bidder. Shares of the loss maker rose 2p to 51.5p; they have climbed from 21p in the summer. Last year the company had sales of pounds 531m and lost pounds 51,7m. The French Usinor Sacilor group has 12 per cent.
Lynx, the acquisitive computer group, held at 100.5p. Stockbroker Greig Middleton says its results should begin to reflect the integration of recent years and lifted its profits forecast to pounds 9.6m for the year just ended and pounds 11.95m for the current year.
Barlows, the property group which paid pounds 43.6m for Rowlinson earlier this year, held at 55p. Stockbroker Sutherlands is looking for 12-month profits of pounds 1.75m against pounds 1.2m.
