Friday preview: Dana, Marshalls, GDP
Thu, 26 Aug 2010, 16:49:00
There's another feast of company results Friday, though nothing to match "Super Thursday", but events on the other side of the pond will probably determine how London goes into the long weekend. <b>Dana Petroleum</b>, Britain's largest independent North Sea oil producer, issues interim figures, though investors will be more interested in what it has to say about the hostile £18 a share bid from South Korea's state-run oil company KNOC. They'll also want to hear why the imminent purchase of a package of UK North Sea assets from Canada's Suncor for at least £200m is a good thing. The latest read on UK gross domestic product (GDP) is out at 9.30am and attention turns stateside at 1.30pm when the preliminary report on US second-quarter is unveiled. The world's largest economy is expected to have grown at an annualised rate of 1.4% compared with initial estimates for 2.4%. Back in the UK, paving slab maker <b>Marshalls</b> confirms interim figures, although they were well-flagged in an update last month. Panmure Gordon still likes the shares as it feels improvements in domestic and commercial markets should go some way to offsetting a likely decline in public sector demand over the next 12 months. Serviced office specialist <b>Regus</b> is also scheduled to publish half-year numbers. KBC Peel Hunt is looking for a drop in profit before tax and amortisation to £14.2m from £18.4m a year ago. The broker thinks its own full-year forecast of £40.3m is looking "vulnerable". <b>Friday August 27</b> INTERIMS Aga Rangemaster Group, Aseana Properties Trust, Biome Technologies, Computacenter, Dana Petroleum, Davis Service Group, Frontline, Independent News & Media, JKX Oil & Gas, Lavendon Group, Marshalls, Molins, National Bank of Greece ADR, New Britain Palm Oil Limited, Phoenix Group Holdings, Rightmove, Stratic Energy Corporation, SVG Capital, T Clarke, Vimetco GDR (Reg S), Yule Catto INTERIM DIVIDEND PAYMENT DATE Bluehone AIM VCT 2, Brunner Inv Trust, Edinburgh UK Tracker Trust, Independent Inv Trust, Matrix European Real Estate Investment Trust Ltd., Reed Elsevier QUARTERLY PAYMENT DATE Equity Partnership Income Shares INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC ANNOUNCEMENTS Jobless Rate (JPN) Consumer Price Index (JPN) Consumer Price Index (GER) GDP (Preliminary) (US) (13:30) U. of Michigan Confidence (US) (15:00) Q2 National Bank of Greece ADR GMS 600 Group, IPSO Ventures, Nautical Petroleum ANNUAL REPORT Abbey IMSS Rightmove SPECIAL DIVIDEND PAYMENT DATE Heritage Oil, Polo Resources EGMS EPE Special Opportunities, Equity Partnership Income Shares AGMS Prospect Japan Fund Ltd.
