Invensys suffers massive drop in shares

Invensys’ shares fell by 25 per cent yesterday after the company announced a £58 million pre-tax loss in its first half profits.

The second half of Invensys’ financial year holds little hope for improvements. Chief Executive, Rick Haythornthwaite said, according to the Financial Times, the company’s underlying profitability in the second half would be at “at best flat” compared with the first six months.

The slump means that the company could well be ejected from the FTSE 100 at the review in December.
