ANALYST VIEWS: WHAT DO YOU THINK OF INTERNATIONAL POWER’S PERFORMANCE?
COLIN TYLER | OC&C STRATEGY
“I have to say, I’m not terribly surprised at the results. They have benefited significantly from increasing regulation on the compliance that generates revenue. Also, a lot of previous contracts are continuing to expand. It shows that a lot of the contracts had benefited from additional revenue.”
LAKIS ATHANASIOU | EVOLUTION SECURITIES
“The results are pretty bland, actually, but bland results are good. They’re slightly ahead of expectations with the US slightly weaker in numbers. I believe the company is an ex-growth company and needs to recognise that it needs to re-position itself as a yield play rather than a growth stock.”
TINA COOK | CHARLES STANLEY
“I have just started to look at the results, but it appears they have come in ahead of expectations and it was quite a good show. But I think it’s likely that a bit of speculation will remain around the company. Obviously International Power is still facing some headwinds.”
