Winners and losers during economic slowdown

Winners and losers during economic slowdown

334 companies in the UK print industry are worth a third less than they were a year ago. However, 331 companies have actually increased in value. The findings are from the latest Plimsoll Analysis which values the top 982 companies and looks at how that is impacting on the shape of the market.

 

David Pattison, author of the report, said: “Values have fallen markedly from their peak but the number of companies that are worth more this year than last is encouraging. In all we identified 331 companies that have increased in value - quite an achievement considering market conditions. Their performance adds to the growing belief that the market has stabilised and companies with their house in order can once again prosper and add value.?

 

?“However, as with all recoveries there are those that struggle to recover. 334 companies have lost a third of their value in the latest year. The post recession market is so highly competitive I would expect a number of these companies to be bought out on the cheap or decline further and eventually be wound up”? ?

The report points out which companies are prospering in the post recession marketplace, those set to be bought out and those heading for trouble – across the whole of the market and in the individual regions.
