Babcock International Group "In Line With Expectations"

By Sam Robson, The Motley Fool

Filed under:

LONDON — Babcock International Group  this morning released a pre-close trading update, which confirmed that its full-year financial results are in line with previous expectations.

The U.K.’s leading engineering support services company went on to comment on the “strong progress” shown on the previous year, amid positive market conditions, with the bid pipeline increasing from £14 billion to £15.5 billion in the last two months — the most significant addition to the pipeline is the Logistics and Commodities Services Transformation contract, being bid by the Defense and Security division in a joint venture with DHL.

At around £12 billion, management highlighted the order book’s contribution to “provide excellent visibility of future revenue streams across the Group”. Bidding activity remained high throughout the year, while a number of significant transformation and investment programs are being progressed through its civil and military markets.

Since the first-half results were released in November 2012, Babcock has won or are preferred bidders on contracts valued over £1 billion, including preferred bidder announcements on contracts for ground fleet maintenance for British Airways and baggage handling systems operations and maintenance for Heathrow Airport (£440 million); preferred bidder for the design, supply and delivery of two boat sets of weapon handling and launch equipment for an international customer (£100 million); and design and engineering support and equipment procurement contracts, in the U.K. and internationally, for the Marine and Technology division (£50 million).

Management reiterated their confidence of moving the company forward, stating that it remains “well positioned to help our customers develop cost efficient support solutions and we believe the current economic climate will continue to create significant medium and long-term growth opportunities for the Group, both in the U.K. and overseas”.

The shares saw little change as the pre-trading update was released this morning. Babcock was one of 2012’s best performers, and if you’re looking for companies that have strong potential to soar in price, then we’ve pinpointed our favorite growth share from the FTSE 100. Our analysts have produced a free report in which they evaluate its finances and risks, and its growth prospects going forward.

Like It or Not, the US Postal Service Isn't Going Away Anytime Soon

By Tarun Wadhwa, Contributor

A few blocks away from my apartment, there’s a store that Yelp users describe as “dirty,” “disgusting,” “horrible,” and “saturated with bitterness.”  Yet they are still in business, and probably will be for a long time to come.  What type of establishment could have their customers routinely express such deep rooted frustration, and still get away with it?  The local Post Office, of course. At some point, we have all probably thought about doing something like what Michael Richards‘ character Kramer tried to do on Seinfeld – get out of the system, permanently. In a famous exchange, when postal employee Newman asks him what he will do about his bills, cards, and letters, Kramer points out that he can use “e-mail, telephones, fax machines, FedEx, Telex, telegrams, and holograms.” And he’s right. For your everyday needs, there are now a wide variety of ways to communicate and conduct transactions. Few people actually want the bulk of the items that come through their mailbox these days. But as despised and problematic as it is, the Postal Service is one of the most important institutions in this country – it is essential to a functioning economy, and it is, thankfully, not going anywhere, any time soon. There have been plenty of loud declarations that Postal Service has failed and will be out of business shortly.  But these arguments usually reveal how little people understand about what the Postal Service actually does – and how little they appreciate this institution’s amazing reach and scale.  Handling over 160 billion pieces of mail in a year (40 percent of the world’s mail), the Postal Service provides universal coverage for accessing their services to the entire country for low, standardized prices.  They make regular deliveries to remote islands and secluded areas that would not be worth the trouble for a private business.  In rural and low-income regions where broadband isn’t commonly available, they provide a much-needed lifeline for communication. Most recently, Outbox, a start-up from Austin, Texas, has reignited the debate over the future of mail.  Since their launch in San Francisco earlier this month, they have attracted a lot of excitement with their simple plan to allow people to have their physical mail picked up, scanned, and digitized for a five dollars a month.  In reality, this may not be the only cost; they are reportedly exploring ways to bring the sketchy practices of targeted e-mail advertising to the physical world.  Furthermore, their marketing reveals a very immature understanding of why the Postal Service — which they strangely refer to as “America’s oldest social network” — cannot simply be “recreated” by a few guys driving around in a Prius. A suggestion that often comes up is to just dismantle the Postal Service and have everyone switch to using private services like FedEx, UPS, and DHL.  The people making these arguments are probably unaware that these companies are deeply reliant on the Postal Service for many of their everyday functions – comparatively, they do not come close to …read more
