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.
