Lastminute.com shares gain on results

Wednesday, 11 Feb, 2005 0

There were several significant moves among travel and tourism shares yesterday as London’s main equity indices stagnated somewhat.

The FTSE 100 index added 9.6 points to end the day at exactly 5,000 points, while the FTSE 250 dropped just 2.3 points to close at 7345.2.

Lastminute.com put on 6.25p after releasing results that placated the City, but The Independent points out that “one decent quarter proves nothing” and that the prospect of a potential bid seems the only reason to buy the shares at the moment: “Otherwise avoid,” the newspaper states.

De Vere had a great day, adding 62.5p on news that it has sold the Belfry, while Holidaybreak dropped 17p to 662p after admitting its camping division has been performing poorly.
