8.This company’s performance exemplifies a widely held belief
A Chemical Company
Masterson’s interim pre-tax profits growth of 20% was somewhat inflated as a result of the income received from the disposal of several of the company’s subsidiaries. The underlying 8% rise in operating profits is a more realistic gauge of the company’strue progress. However, Masterson’s impending merger with Bentley and Knight and its appointment of a new chief executive should mean that the company will be able to sustain growth for the foreseeable future. The share price has varied little during the course of the year and now stands at£6.75
B Hotel Group
During the past year the Bowden Hotel Group has acquired 77 new properties, thus doubling in size. last week the group reported pre-tax profits of£88 million in the first six months of the year, ahead of expectations and helped by a strong performancefrom its London-based hotels and newly expanded US business. However,there is still some way to go. Integration of the new acquisitions is still not complete and, while the share price has risen recently, major problems with integration have yet to be solved.
D Building Company
Renton’s share price has risen gradually over the past year from£2.4 to£3.8 . The company has been successful in choosing prime location for its buildings and has benefited from the buoyant demand for housing. Whilst this demand is expected to slow down somewhat during the next year, investors are encouraged by the company’s decision to move into building supermarkets. Work has already begun on two sites in London, and the company is expected to sign a contract within the next month for building four large supermarkets in Scotland.
E陶器制造商
在过去的一年里Milton Dishes进行了重组。该集团一直在降低边际利润,改善营销状况,今年可能小有盈利。Milton家族的许多成员中那些拥有公司58%股份的人,一直在关注着股票价格稳步上升,一些成员还在准备抛售股票。贸易竞争对手Ruskin已经购买了超过17%的股份,并且很可能针对该公司有复苏迹象激发进一步行动。

E Pottery Manufacturer
Milton Dishes has been through a shake-up over the past year. The group, which has been cutting margins and improving marketing, may post a small profit this year. The many members of the Milton family, who between them own 58 per cent of the business, have been watching the share price rise steadily and several are looking to sell. Trade rival Ruskin has bought up just over 17 percent of the shares and could well be spurred into further action by the signs of a recovery at the firm.
B饭店集团
在过去的一年里,波顿酒店集团已收购了77宗新地产,从而规模翻了一番。上周集团报道今年上半年的税前利润(达到了)£8800万,高于预期值,得益于其位于伦敦的酒店和新扩张的美国业务的强大业绩。然而,仍有一些路要走。新收购的(地产)的整合尚未完成,并且尽管最近股价已上涨,整合的主要问题仍待解决。
D建筑司
在过去的一年,Renton的股价已从£2.4逐步上涨到£3.8。该公司的成功之处在于公司的办公大楼选址恰当,并受益于住房需求的上涨。虽然这一需求预计将在明年有所放缓,但投资者们仍受到鼓舞,因为公司决定进军大型超市建筑领域。此项业务已在伦敦两个地区开展,并且公司有望在下个月内签署一份合同,在Scotland建造四个大型超市。
C High-tech Company
This time last year a share in Usertech was worth just over£1. six months ago it was worth£40. today it is priced at under£8 . if proof were need, here is an illustration of how much of a lottery the technology market can be. But some technology companies are fighting back and Usertech is one of them. What has renewed excitementin the company is the opening of its new American offices in Dallas and its ambitious plans to expand its user base in both North and Latin America.

7.这家公司在不久的将来可能成为一个收购标的。E
8.本公司的业绩验证了一种被广为认可的观念。C
A化工公司
Masterson的中期税前利润增长20%是有点夸大,因为所得收入来自于对公司的几个子公司的处理。经营利润潜在增长8%更为真实的反映了该公司的实际发展情况。然而,Masterson即将合并Bentley和Knight、其新首席执行官的任命将意味着该公司将能够在可预见的未来保持增长。这一年内股价变化不大,并且现在站在£6.75。
C高技术公司
去年的这个时候,Usertech每股价值超过1£。六个月前,每股价值£40。今天其价格不到8£。如果说需要证据的话,那么这就是技术市场多么像彩票一样的证明(即证明了技术市场的行情很难预测)。但是,一些科技公司正在反击,Usertech就是其中之一。使该公司重振(?令人振奋)的是其在美国Dallas开设了新的业务机构,并(制定了)雄心勃勃的计划,要在North and Latin America扩大其用户基地。
