Good morning and welcome to Friday's report!
I'd quickly like to send a huge shout-out to everyone who contributed to the report this week (Megan, Roland, Mark and Keelan) for producing so much content while I've been under the weather. These reports would have been far thinner and less interesting if they hadn't done so. Cheers!
1pm: today's report is finished. Thanks for dropping by.
Explanatory notes
A quick reminder that we don’t recommend any shares. We aim to review trading updates amp; results of the day and offer our opinions on them as possible candidates for further research if they interest you. Our opinions will sometimes turn out to be right, and sometimes wrong, because it's anybody's guess what direction market sentiment will take amp; nobody can predict the future with certainty. We are analysing the company fundamentals, not trying to predict market sentiment.
We stick to companies that have issued news on the day. We usually avoid the smallest, and most speculative companies, although if something is newsworthy and interesting, we'll try to comment on it. Please bear in mind the "list of companies reporting" is precisely that - it's not a to do list. We have a particular emphasis...
