Kier, the construction, house-building and contracting firm, has, to its credit, managed to come through the slump rather well, drawing strength from the diversity of its operations and sound strategic moves, according to the Investment Column in the Independent. This was reflected in its results yesterday, when it revealed that underlying pre-tax profits had climbed to nearly £70m in the year to the end of June, up from £55.5m in 2010. The full year dividend was up by 10 per cent, while construction margins improved and services margins remained stable. The valuation - the stock trades on under 8 times forward earnings - is also supportive. These factors argue against selling. The gloomy mood in the markets, however, argues against buying at this point. Hold, says the Independent.

Millennium & Copthorne hasn't had the easiest of rides in recent weeks. A glance at the company's interim management statement in early August doesn't go very far in explaining the slump. The update showed that pre-tax profits in the second quarter were up more than 90%. The company's strengths - and the affordable valuation of around 11 times forward earnings for next year - mean that we would not sell. But the market jitters - so obvious in the recent movement of its share price - mean that we would wait before checking in. Hold, says the Independent.

Fashion retailer Next said last month that total sales rose 3.2% in the first half of the year, as strong growth in online sales offset a moderate decline in its shops. It also said it expects the cost price inflation environment to improve, but given recent market volatility, it will be interesting to see what it has to say about the overall economic environment.

The market has well and truly fallen out of love with the support services sector, and with the sector leader Capita Group. Some acceptable interim figures from the company were greeted with a sharp price fall yesterday. The rate of dividend growth is a little lower than it has been historically because the company wants to conserve cash for acquisitions. There is also the prospect, with the shares at their current level, of share buybacks. The shares sell on about 14 times earnings and look set to recover by the end of the year, says the Times.

Capital Shopping Centres is back in the black with a £446.2m profit after a £150m loss the year before and it increased its net asset value by 15% last year. But the company has challenges ahead. Its Metro Centre in Gateshead is 25 years old next year and about half of the centre's rent is from leases due to expire then. It has 1.4m sq ft of expansion planned, which still needs planning consent. Hold, says the Times.

If London buses tend to come in pairs, then so does the good news for Gem Diamonds. Yesterday, it was that the company had negotiated a 25 per cent price increase for the rocks it sells to the jewellery group Tiffany. Sadly, for investors, all this good news has not translated into a solidly rising share price, with Gem's stock falling by more than 20 per cent in the past six months.
