Boots: more cash to come
Article Abstract:
Boots is seen as efficiently run and has released good results, seeking to maximise stockholder value. Four brokers from a sample of six rate the company's stocks a buy, and two rate them a hold. Morgan Stanley Dean Witter is a buyer, as is Credit Suisse First Boston. Sutherlands sees the company's stocks as a long term buy, and BT Alex Brown is also a buyer. Paribas and Panmure Gordon are the holders, and Paribas see the company's Advantage Loyalty card as likely to affect Boots' growth.

Irish eyes are smiling
Article Abstract:
Hampden Group is a Northern Irish retailer which operates 7 outlets in Northern Ireland and two in Ireland as a franchisee for Texas. The company should benefit from increased control of costs and a better environment for trading, with a profit of 1 million pounds sterling forecast for 1995 by Panmure Gordon. Hampden benefits from minimal gearing and there is speculative interest in the company following the acquisition of Texas stores by Sainsbury.
