LONDON (AFX) - Shares in Dimension Data PLC gained in morning deals as
investors welcomed the group's solid full year results and return to profit,
prompting Merrill Lynch to raise its price target to 40 pence from 37, dealers
said.
At 9.15 am, shares in Dimension Data gained 3/4 pence to 30. The FTSE 250
was off 4.6 points at 6,553.3.
Merrill said Dimension Data's results were better than expected, and
highlighted "excellent growth" in the solutions business.
It noted that only UK operations came in below its forecasts due to
restructuring at Merchants.
Merrill Lynch reiterated its 'buy' rating and increased its 2005 EPS
forecast by 19 pct.
UBS also noted strong full year results, with "improving results"
geographically, and margins broadly flat or better everywhere.
It added the group's outlook remains "broadly positive", but awaits further
news from the analyst meeting as the group has given a "relatively bland outlook
statement".
UBS reiterated its 'neutral' rating and 33 pence price target.
Earlier this morning, the UK-listed South African IT services group said
that for the year to Sept 30, it made a profit before tax and amortisation of
goodwill of 38.3 mln usd, turning over a pretax loss of 6.8 mln a year ago.
Operating profit for the full year period was 33.0 mln usd, turning over a
9.0 mln operating loss a year ago.
