Big jump in Heps expected

BELL Equipment said yesterday it expected to report headline earnings per share for the six months to the end of June that were at least 70 percent higher than headline earnings per share of 67 cents for the comparative period. The manufacturer, distributor and exporter of material-handling machines said the expected increase in earnings was mainly due to an improvement in demand. Bell Equipment will release its results for the half-year on August 31. – ANA
