Sector movers: Smith and Nephew bid talks lifts health stocks

Date: Tuesday 19 Aug 2008

LONDON (ShareCast) - Medical devices firm Smith and Nephew is leading the health care equipment and services sector higher on speculation of a bid from US orthopaedic device maker Zimmer. The combination of Smith and Nephew’s strong interim results and the dollar’s new-found strength against sterling make such a bid feasible, traders said.

Inhaler maker Consort also moved up, as did the orthopaedic devices firm Corin.

Unsympathetic broker coverage has sent the retail sector downwards. Supermarket Tesco, department store Debenhams and jeweller Signet fall back after Goldman Sachs gave them ‘sell’ ratings. Woolworths, B&Q owner Kingfisher and Marks and Spencer are also lower.
