9th Sep 2010 14:38

Electronic and industrial components supplier Premier Farnell is higher after it said underlying pre-tax profit more than doubled after strong sales, particularly in the US.Elsewhere in industrial stocks, precision engineer Renishaw is strong after saying trading in the first two months of the new financial year has been very positive after particularly strong demand from Japan and the rest of Asia.Higher house prices helped home builder Redrow move back into profit in the year to June 30, but the outlook remains uncertain and the shares have dropped. The company posted a pre-tax profit of £0.7m against a loss of £44.2m the previous year, as revenues jumped to £396.9m from £301.8m.FTSE 250 - RisersRenishaw (RSW) 1,005.00p +14.60%Premier Farnell (PFL) 254.90p +6.39%Fenner (FENR) 230.40p +6.18%Keller Group (KLR) 612.50p +4.97%Electrocomponents (ECM) 232.50p +4.78%Cookson Group (CKSN) 469.60p +4.56%Halma (HLMA) 295.00p +4.42%Croda International (CRDA) 1,393.00p +3.80%Thomas Cook Group (TCG) 195.00p +3.78%Galiform (GFRM) 70.30p +3.61%FTSE 250 - FallersRedrow (RDW) 123.40p -5.30%Aveva Group (AVV) 1,405.00p -5.07%Yell Group (YELL) 16.05p -3.78%St. Modwen Properties (SMP) 168.20p -3.28%Premier Foods (PFD) 18.80p -2.89%Computacenter (CCC) 288.50p -2.70%Moneysupermarket.com (MONY) 74.05p -2.57%Game Group (GMG) 71.65p -2.45%Promethean World (PRW) 126.70p -1.78%Davis Service Group (DVSG) 382.30p -1.32%
