Cash-and-carry business Booker managed to surprise the market with its interim figures yesterday, and analysts were left upgrading their forecasts for the full year, says the Tempus column in the Times. Halfway profit before tax was 22 per cent ahead at £45 million in the 24 weeks to September 9. The halfway dividend is raised by the same rate, to 0.33p. But the company's huge cash generation has turned £400 million of debt in 2005 into cash balances of £60 million, and its low level of spending on existing assets and acquisitions means this sum can only increase as the year progresses; even if dividends continue to be raised at this rate, this will not have much impact on the cash pile. Some sort of enhanced dividend looks possible; for now, the market appreciates the strength of the business, and the shares sell on about 18 times earnings for this year, which makes them no more than a hold, the Times says.
