Broker snap: Economic downturn to hurt leisure groups

Date: Wednesday 18 Jun 2008

LONDON (ShareCast) - ABN Amro has cut cruise operator Carnival and pub groups Enterprise Inns and Marston's to ‘hold’ from ‘buy’, citing fears of a serious economic downturn in 2009 and 2010.

It has also lowered its stances on cheap boozer JD Wetherspoon and the bookmaker Ladbrokes to ‘sell’ from ‘hold’.

However, bingo hall operator Rank goes up to ‘hold’ from ‘sell’ to reflect savings initiatives the company has enacted.
