Misys shares hit before half-year results

Shares in business software firm Misys dipped as low as £6.32 today, ahead of half-year results due for release later this week, due to analyst fears US IT spending is set to weaken.

NEWS The results, due out on Thursday, are expected to miss estimates, suggesting the firm will struggle to meet challenging second-half targets, especially within the company's banking and securities division. Analysts are expecting a half-year pre-tax profit in the period ended 30 November 2000 of around £55m for the LSE-listed firm, with sales in excess of £400m. Shares in the Worcestershire-based company currently stand at £6.41, considerably below a 52-week high of £13.76 last February.
