Market Talk:
Babcock International Still Faces Challenges Despite In-Line
Performance
0928 GMT - Although Babcock International said it is performing
in line with management's expectations, it still has challenges to
work through in delivering margin recovery to generate stronger
cash flow and returns, Shore Capital analyst Robin Speakman says in
a note. For the engineering company, not least of these will be the
effect of inflation on labor costs, Speakman says. "No doubt much
of this should be able to be passed on under contract terms, but we
still await additional guidance on stranded cost lines etc.,"
Speakman says. Shore Capital rates the stock hold. Shares are down
0.5% at 304.40 pence. (anthony.orunagoriainoff@dowjones.com)
