TechMARK movers: Panmure preducts strong fourth quarter

5th Oct 2010 16:19

A note from Panmure Gordon this morning pointed out that technology shares had their best September since 1939. The sector has outperformed the FTSE All-Share by 6.55 over the past month but the broker expects further recovery in the fourth quarter, even though the UK government's spending review may cause short-term uncertainty. IT services provider Computacenter is one of Panmure's buy recommendations in the sector and it is one of the best performers today. Shares in medical technology company Biocompatibles International have slipped slightly as investors await further news concerning the bid approach for the company.
