Coping with pressure

Article Abstract:

Druck has seen a drop in its stock price though the company's earnings are forecast to rise, and its order book has increased. The company produces instruments that measure pressure, and serves capital goods companies in a market that does not appear likely to expand as rapidly as the company's growth rate for the decade to 2000. Meanwhile, Domino Printing looks set to enjoy strong earnings growth for 2000 and 2001, though this may not be enough for an investment decision to buy the company's stocks.

Break-up bargain share

Article Abstract:

Ferguson International is being wound up, with cash returned to stockholders. The remaining three businesses could be sold in summer 1999, bringing in some 25 million pounds sterling. There is a further 5 million pounds to come from Design Mark Industries, which has been sold. The decision to sell was aken in the interests of stockholder value. Ferguson could be sold as a cash shell, but the market for such shells has been depressed, so the company will probbly be wound up.
