The market likes a strong potential recovery story, and in any case any weakness in the share price and lack of commitment by new management would see Carillion and others enter a bid contest. It was encouraging to see the higher value of the Investment holdings to over 30% higher than that earlier offer a few months back of close to £1billion.

Market likes the results! Bizarre.
