But, all in their impatience to hear does not confirm what they are waiting for months the surrender of ex-Sagem mobile terminal division, fellows negligent more information which should be positivées. First, even a little higher that expected, the loads of the half remain modest proportions, and correspond to a cleaning of the balance which will no longer to do. Then, the performance of the heart of Saffron engines and aviation equipment remained well oriented, and the double-digit growth of its profits over the years 2005-2010 is more defining than any other factor on the value of the group.

New frontiers
Achaque day sufficient sentence. If the first half is sometimes better than the second, investors who have too the nose on the handlebars of the results should be aware that the life is built in the period. And the success of a group as JCDecaux must appreciate year after year. If the figures of the six first months were pleasantly surprised, the maintains of an annual growth rate of 6 and the stability of the margin announced by the leaders have nothing to worry about.

Half-year champion of the seamless steel tube are as good as possible, with worthy of the luxury industry margins, applied to sales increasing by 40. Blank stock of debts now allows Vallourec complete by acquisitions of capacity saturated by the request of the clients in the energy sector. Beyond their opportunities in a sector oil and gas in full boiling, Vallourec tubes are very present in electricity whose long-term prospects remain strong. Finally, the French group can take advantage of the tremendous current situation to focus its growth on products with higher added value and margin. The virtuous circle loop with favourable stock parameters. The recent output of the shareholder capital German Salzgitter has eliminated the risk of influx of paper and, despite his stunning rise, Vallourec maintains one of the lowest price/earnings per share of Paris.
