Qinetiq gains after political shift; shares climb on defence-spending expectations
Qinetiq shares rose intraday by around 3.5% to 468p, driven by the political change: John Healey’s appointment as chancellor of the exchequer has strengthened market expectations of significantly higher UK defence spending. Analysts view the decision as positive for the defence sector, while a policy to favour UK suppliers in procurement would give Qinetiq an additional advantage. Other share-price drivers include a record order backlog, an ongoing share buyback programme and increased visibility from a presentation at the Farnborough Airshow. » More on de.investing.com
