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.BARCLAYS BANK shares are worth pounds 18, according to Warburg Dillon Read, and Dresdner Kleinwort Benson also recommend the stock following the results which turned out better than expected yesterday. But some analysts remain concerned about how the bank will tackle the continuing need to reduce operating costs. NatWest Bank is favoured by HSBC Securities and SG Securities, hoping for good figures and possible bid developments.
BOOTS SHARES are tipped by the broker WestLB Panmure, which see them reaching pounds 10 in the near future on the back of improving profits and resistance to a possible recession. Rentokil, the fast-growing cleaning services giant, is tipped by Schroders.
HADEN MACLELLAN, the process engineers, is tipped by Albert E Sharp, who now rates the shares a "buy" at current prices after this week's profit warning, which was blamed on accounting problems in the paint division.
ORANGE, THE high-flying telecom company, is now a "sell" according to brokers CSFB, concerned that the shares have been over-hyped in the recent rush for telecoms stocks. The shares have come off the top but have still tripled from their low point in the past year.
