TechMARK movers: ProStrakan rallies, IndigoVision wobbles

13 September 2007 14:03:00

ProStrakan headed north Thursday following yesterday's results that showed the Scottish pharma group narrowed first-half losses by 43%.

The loss for the period fell to £8.6m for the six month to 30 June compared to a loss of £14.9m last time on revenues up 28% to £20.9m.

Credit Suisse upgraded the shares to 'outperform' from 'neutral'.

Census and ballot counting firm DRS Data is close behind after announcing that half-year pre-tax profit has trebled while turnover increased by 57%.

CCTV systems group IndigoVision dropped back though despite doubling full year profit and reporting a strong start to the current year.

Profit before tax for the year to 31 July jumped to £0.67m from £0.32m a year ago on turnover up 77% to £13.4m.

The current year has started well, said the firm, with both sales and order intake in the last six weeks well ahead of the corresponding period last year.
