De la Rue
Article Abstract:
De La Rue has seen a rise in its stock price since winter 1998-1999 and has started restructuring which is the factor that has helped the stock price to rise. The company supplies banknotes, money counting machines and credit cards, and these activities involve trust, which has been helped by De La Rue's emphasis on quality. Additional investment may be needed for the company to benefit from opportunities available. The company could generate funds from selling its credit card division, for which heavy investment is needed.
