City File: Invesco
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.INVESCO is a company that needs to provide reassurance to the market. However, the management team of Charles Brady and Norman Riddell has many fans in the City and should show a recovery in Invesco's half-year profits from pounds 0.9m to more than pounds 20m.
The only cloud may be some further cost-cutting in the group's European businesses, and the loss of a couple of large pension fund accounts. But the strength of the US side, the buoyancy of the markets and the favourable currencies all work in its favour.
At 191p the shares trade at 16.5 times earnings, assuming the group makes pounds 45m this year. They look cheap.
