Bag A Brexit Bargain!

 
Bag A Brexit Bargain!

By Victor Hill

Now gather up the wee bairns and tell Grandad to put his ear trumpet in. I have some weighty news to impart. I don't know how to put this in a way that will not scare you; but here goes…

Mr Carney has decreed that the additional Counter-cyclical Capital (CCC) buffer of 0.5 percent decreed last March for UK banks will be scrapped…

It's no good staring at me gormlessly like that – don't you see what this means? I mean, it's massive. The Old Lady of Threadneedle Street has spent the last eight years since the Crash arm-twisting the banks to raise their capital ratios, using every trick in the Basel III stroke Capital Requirements Directive IV rulebook – plus a few home-grown ruses.

Housebuilder Barratt Developments (BDEV) said full-year profits before taxation will rise by 20% to £680 million, but warned that it may reduce the rate at which it is building as a result of Brexit. Total completions for the year ended 30th June climbed 5.3% to 17,319 as demand from consumers remained very strong, despite increased uncertainty in the London region. Barratt shares fell by 6.10p to 404.80p.

Steinhoff Holdings has agreed terms to purchase the remaining shares of discount high street retailer Poundland (PLND) for 222p in cash, which valued the business at £597 million. The offered price represents a 13% premium over yesterday's closing level, although it does include the previously announced final dividend of 2p. The board intend to unanimously recommend that the offer be accepted. Poundland shares closed the day at 220.75p, 12.63% above today's opening price.

Shares in digital printing specialist Xaar (XAR) climbed 21.25p to 484.50p despite the firm's warning that sales continued to decline during the six months ended 30th June. Net cash levels were slightly below their level on the 31st December, but this will have weakened after the company completed the $11 million (£8.2 million) acquisition of a North American product printing business on 1st July.
