Carillion can't do it, says Liberum
Analysts at Liberum Capital repeated their 'sell' advice on Carillion (CLLN.L) and set a 235p target price for shares in the construction and support services firm, 26% below their currrent level of 311.4p, down 6p or 1.9%, after its final results.
The group made an underlying pre-tax profit of £214.7 million last year, down 4% on 2011, as it cut back its UK construction business in response to the downturn. This was ahead of most analysts' forecasts but Joe Brent and William Shirley of Liberum said the profits had been flattered from gains of selling businesses and that net debt of £155.8 million had been worse than expected.
