London Market Open Report

London open: More gains for blue chips

London’s top stocks have pushed on again helped by British Airways sounding slightly more upbeat than in recent weeks and more gains for the miners.

British Airways said it will further cut capacity, parking a total of 22 aircraft during winter 2010, as it swung to a loss in the first quarter. “While traffic volumes are down considerably compared to last year, they have stabilised during the quarter and show some signs of improvement for the peak summer months. However, yields remain volatile,” it said.

Bid-threatened miner Anglo American saw underlying earnings slump by nearly 70% in the first half of 2009 as the impact of the global downturn on demand for commodities took its toll. Pre-tax profits fell to $3.63bn from $6.47bn on revenues of $11.1bn, down 38%, but underlying earnings picture showed a much steeper fall to $1.1bn from $3.48bn.

Real estate firm Liberty said results for the six months to June reflect a continuation of the “very difficult” retail environment and reductions in property values. Pre-tax losses narrowed slightly to Ł452m from Ł458m last year, while group net rental income fell 2% to Ł190m.

Homeserve said the year has started well with continuing policy growth and high renewals rates across its three core membership businesses. The group’s expectations for the full year remain unchanged.

Best performers are two dividend cutters. Bingo group Rank plans to resume dividend payments in the future, once trading conditions and market outlook improve. Underlying pre-tax profits rose to Ł24.7m in the six month ended 30 June compared with Ł17.6m last time, while revenue came to Ł266m from Ł257m previously.

Pest control group Rentokil, meanwhile, posted figures littered with more one-off charges. Investors have chosen to focus on operating profits, which, on actual exchange rates and stripping out one-off charges, rose by 1.5% to Ł69.2m.

Asia Market Report

Asia: Nikkei recovers as Honda, Nissan motor ahead

The Nikkei settled higher Thursday, after a choppy session, as a strong performance among carmakers outweighed weakness among commodities.

Honda jumped 8.6% in Tokyo after it raised its full year outlook yesterday and revealed a modest profit in the last quarter. Nissan rallied 7% after it reported a smaller than expected quarterly loss.

Sony rose over 6% ahead of its quarterly earnings. After the bell the group reported a smaller than expected loss. Net loss was 37.1bn yen compared with profit of 35bn yen the same time a year earlier.

Nintendo posted a 61% decline in quarterly profit as sales its Wii game consoles waned. Net income fell to 42.3bn yen in the three months ended 30 June from 107.4bn yen the same time a year before.

Commodity stocks came under pressure after Sumitomo Metal Mining posted a decline in first-quarter earnings. A sharp drop in the prices of crude oil also weighed on related stocks such as Inpex and trading house Mitsubishi Corp.

The benchmark Nikkei 225 index closed up 51 points at 10,165 in Tokyo.

The Hang Seng regained ground, finishing up nearly 100 points as real estate companies powered ahead. Sun Hung Kai Properties rose 1.4%, New World Development added 1.6% while Hang Lung Properties rose 2.1%.

Banks were mixed with shares in HSBC, Bank of China lost 0.26% while Industrial & Commercial Bank of China rose 0.36%.

PetroChina fell 0.66% after falling nearly 2% earlier in the session.

The Hang Seng index finished up 98 points at 20,234 in Hong Kong.

Special Alert – SLAT!!!

My new pick is SLAT

If you miss some of my recent alerts, like BIEL which had a gain of 625% after my initial alert, then don't miss this one. After looking at the chart on SLAT, I'm making SLAT my technical support play. View the chart, http://bigcharts.marketwatch.com/quickchart/quickchart.asp?symb=slat&sid=0&o_symb=slat&freq=7&time=18 , SLAT is ready to bounce of the trend line.

With the recent good news about how SLAT is in the final stage of negotiations with an Asian company for setting up a pilot scale production unit of Lithium Ion polymer batteries, I believe this can send SLAT higher!

SLAT is in the business of developing market lithium-powered vehicles and products for use in residential and commercial properties. Using its technology, the company is able to covert scooters, bicycles, mopeds, motorcycles, cars and even homes and businesses into zero-emission, lithium-powered vehicles and facilities.

SLAT previously reported they have acquired equipment for electrochemical analysis and cell manufacturing from a major USA company to produce advanced lithium-ion batteries and its electrode materials for Fortune 500 Companies.

As prices for fossil fuel energy continue to rise, consumers and businesses are seeking an alternative way to power their world. Scientists, analysts and automotive executives have agreed that rising fuel costs and environmental concerns will cause the sales of hybrid and electric vehicles to skyrocket, and Superlattice has positioned itself to take advantage of the anticipated demand.

This is just the beginning for SLAT. I believe this is a ground floor opportunity for investors. Just think about, once they start manufacturing the batteries and other companies jump aboard, SLAT will catch the attention of even more large investors on Wall St. By that time SLAT could be trading at a lot higher price.

President Obama's signing of the country's economic stimulus plans includes more than $20 Billion in loans, grants and tax credits to help stimulate the development of large-scale domestic production of advanced, lithium-ion batteries for hybrid and electric cars to save the world from pollution and through training create jobs.

Commodities Round up

Commodities: Crude tumbles 6% as supplies bounce


Oil prices plunged almost 6% on Wednesday as traders digested a bigger than expected rise in crude stockpiles.

US light crude oil for September delivery fell $3.88 to settle at $63.35 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

In its weekly inventory report the Energy Information Administration said crude supplies surged by 5.1m barrels to 347.8m barrels in the week ended 24 July. Analysts had pencilled in a rise of just over 1m barrels.

The report also said distillates increased by 2.1m barrels while gasoline supplies fell by a bigger than expected 2.3m barrels last week.

Oil prices were also pressured by a stronger dollar and a weak session among US equities.

LONDON-Market Open Report

London open: Positive start to busy day

Investors have a batch of results to consider this morning, with BT currently leading London’s blue chips higher after publishing quarterly figures.

Telecoms giant BT saw adjusted EBITDA fall 3% in the first quarter, held back by BT Global Services. It saw adjusted EBITDA come in at Ł1.3bn against Ł1.4bn in the same period last year. But lower finance income and higher finance expenses pushed first quarter profits, on a reported basis, down 45% to Ł272m.

Royal Dutch Shell said its second quarter results were affected by the weak global economy as net profit slumped 70%. Second quarter earnings, on a current cost of supplies (CCS) basis, came in at $2.3bn, which was in line with expectations, against $7.9bn a year earlier. In the six month period, CCS earnings fell 64% to Ł5.6bn.

Specialist publisher Reed Elsevier is the worst performer after announcing plans to raise about 10% of its capital through a placing to pay off debts after an acquisition. Reed acquired the operator of the Lexis Nexis news archive system ChoicePoint for $4.1bn and had intended to pay for this with the sale of its business information division, but shelved the plans because of the economic environment.

Broadcaster and broadband provider BSkyB posted a sharp rise in profits in the year to June 30 as householders continued splashing out on home entertainment amid tough economic conditions. The firm posted a profit before tax of Ł456m, compared with Ł60m over the previous year as revenues rose to Ł5.35bn from Ł4.95bn.

Aero engine company Rolls-Royce reiterated its guidance for the full year but said the global trading environment remains ‘very difficult’, adding that the recovery is likely to be slow. Underlying pre-tax profits, which excludes the non-cash impact of the hedge book and other financial instruments, rose 9% to Ł445m in the six month ended 30 June.

Its fellow aerospace and defence stock BAE Systems has swung to a half-year loss, but upped its dividend and said it expects good growth for the full year. The defence firm made a loss of Ł70m in the six month ended 30 June compared with a profit of Ł599m last time.

Miner Kazakhmys said given the progress made in reducing stockpiles, output is likely to be lower in the second half but it remains on track to meet our full year target.

Knee and hip joint supplier Smith & Nephew posted a rise in second quarter profits but expects its products which serve the younger more active patient segment to face greater challenges.

Aero engine company Rolls-Royce reiterated its guidance for the full year but said the global trading environment remains ‘very difficult’, adding that the recovery is likely to be slow. Underlying pre-tax profits, which excludes the non-cash impact of the hedge book and other financial instruments, rose 9% to Ł445m in the six month ended 30 June.

Tobacco firm British American hiked its dividend by a quarter as acquisitions continued to drive the firm’s profits higher.

National Express, which last week received a takeover approach from its main shareholder, has scrapped its interim dividend in a bid to reduce debt.

Water firm Pennon Group said it has been performing in line with management expectations and intends to offer Ł120m of senior unsecured convertible bonds.

Rail and bus group Go-Ahead has agreed to acquire the assets of East Thames Buses from Transport for London (TfL)for Ł5m.

Model trains and racing cars group Hornby said its businesses in the UK, mainland Europe and the USA have continued to experience good demand.
