Markets ease on sub-prime fears2007-07-11 16:52:45
Shell gave up 23 to 2068 - Goldman Sachs lowering its recommendation on Europe's largest oil company from 'neutral' to 'sell'.In a note, the investment bank said the firm faces three years of heavy investment in its new legacy assets without the prospect of material production growth.
Barratt Developments eased 5.50 to 968 - the homebuilder reporting in a full year trading update that total completions increased by 6% to 15,517 2006: 14,601 with second half performance at 8,311 - up 9% on the same period last year.
Average selling prices of £169,700 2006: £165,800 were up c.2.3% on 2006.
It noted that the competitiveness of the market and product mix changes have constrained average selling price growth. However, the combination of a number of high margin sites coming through to completion, alongside tight cost controls, should enable it to deliver a full year operating margin percentage at similar levels to last year.
BSkyB gained 28.50 to 700.50 - the satellite TV operator adding a net 90,000 new customers in Q4, up 17% year-on-year. The upbeat numbers came after a successful launch into broadband and was enough to see the firm's share price hit a 3-year high.
The company also confirmed it has seen its fastest growth in terms of adding subscribers in years and was on target to achieve its long-term objective of 10 million customers by 2010 and 3 million broadband customers within 4 years.
On the broadband side of the equation 259,000 customers were added in Q4, bringing the overall total to 718,000 - slightly ahead of the original target.
London Stock Exchangeclosed unchanged at 1363 - the stock exchange operator reporting record Q1 revenues of £100.1 million - this on the back of strong share trading numbers and an active listings market.
Whitbread rose 129 to 1947 - the hotels and leisure group again the subject of bid speculation - the latest name to be put in the frame being US hotels group, Starwood Capital.
Reports have suggested that Starwood may be prepared to pay up to 2400p per share.
