NEWS UK engineering firm Invensys is to publish its first half-year report today. The company, which controls ERP specialist Baan, said its performance for the last six months fell in line with a profits warning issued in July. Invensys warned its half-year operating profits would be 20 per cent below previous expectations, causing its stock to halve in value over the following three months. The company's share price opened on a positive note this morning gaining 10 per cent on its closing price on Friday.
