"Our operating profit performance in the first half reflects this Covid-19 impact as well as disposals, the impact of government insourcing of Magnox and Dounreay, and weak trading in civil aviation," he said.
"In the coming months, we will be reviewing our strategic priorities, execution and delivery. I look forward to reporting back on this in May. In the meantime, we remain focused on delivering for our customers, employees and shareholders and continue to look to the future with confidence."
Babcock International did not provide financial guidance for this year due to ongoing uncertainty over the impact of the pandemic on its markets, including government and customer responses.
Babcock International (BAB.UK) stock fell by more than 8% at the beginning of the session, but the sellers did not manage to uphold downward momentum and price returned above the SMA 200 (red line) and upward trend line. If buyers will manage to regain full control on the market then upward impulse towards resistance at 3.76 could be launched. On the other hand, if the decline deepens, the closest support lies at 2.80 level. Source: xStation5Daily Summary: CPI down, Markets Up
