#UK - Acal keeps growing despite BREXIT-based caution, says chief: ProactiveInvestors Stocktube

Published on 31 May 2016
Nick Jefferies, chief executive of Acal plc (LON:ACL) says he is “very pleased” with the company’s latest results, which saw revenues increase by 6% to £287.7mln while underlying operating profit advanced 36% to £13.6mln once adjusted for the weakness of the euro and Nordic currencies.

He says “growth organically has been reasonable in difficult markets but we’ve managed to maintain operating margins and that has really boosted profitability”.

The chief executive also notes that Acal’s magnetics division had a strong year in 2015, with acquisitions made over the last three years “all performing well”.

Brexit has kept consumer confidence in the UK and Europe low, Jefferies says, but notes the company is built for long-term growth. His aim is to grow the company even when the market is difficult, which he says is “exactly what’s happening”.

“The business is performing, it’s very solid, it has relatively stable revenue patterns and we just need to keep on doing what we do, keep pushing it, keep developing it, keep buying good complimentary businesses where we can get sales and operating synergies, and it will keep driving shareholder value” Jefferies says.

#USA - Boeing Shares are Lower on Delay of New Tankers to Miliary: TheStreet

Published on 31 May 2016
Boeing shares are falling Monday after the announcement late last week that the company will delay delivery of new KC-46 tankers to the U.S. military. Boeing was supposed to deliver 18 KC-46 tankers by August 2017, but now that won't happen until early 2018. Analysts say the announcement was a surprise since Boeing seemed confident about its ability to deliver just three weeks ago at its annual investor day. The $40 billion program is already more than $1 billion over budget, according to analysts at Canaccord Genuity, which have a hold rating on the stock.

#UK - Bacanora CEO: Lithium becoming an everyday commodity: ProactiveInvestors Stocktube

Published on 31 May 2016
Peter Secker, chief executive of Bacanora Minerals Ltd's (LON:BCN, CVE:BCN) says the market for lithium could double over the next decade, in tandem with the rise of renewable energy.

Lithium batteries store energy from renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, and Secker says “lithium is becoming more and more an everyday commodity and significant consumption increases over the next decade are going to see demand growth from about 180,000 tonnes a year that it is currently to anywhere north of 350,000 tonnes a year.”

He adds that there is “very limited new supply coming into the market”.

Bacanora is currently developing the Sonora lithium deposit in Mexico with the feasibility study scheduled to be delivered in in the first quarter of 2017.
