Given the current financial turmoil it's probably no surprise that shares in Michael Page International, the recruitment consultant, have fallen off a cliff. Michael Page said yesterday that first half pre-tax profits (before exceptionals) came in at £45.5m against £33m last time. Investors also took fright at a marked slowdown in banking recruitment in recent weeks, together with an admission by Michael Page that the UK market - still a big part of the business - would be "challenging". Yesterday's share price fall looks like an over-reaction, and we think the stock should find a floor soon. With cash on the balance sheet, it is in good shape, with a strong management team. The stock sits on 18 times forecast full-year earnings, falling to 14 times 2012 (with a prospective yield of 2 per cent). With the outlook worrying we wouldn't be buying right now. But Page is the pick of its sector and we'd stick with it. Hold, recommends the Independent.
