Daily Telegraph market report....

"..Ticking up too was G4S as the security services company held its capital markets day where Nick Buckles, G4S' chief executive, was optimistic. He said that in light of global security market trends and improved gross domestic product and inflation outlook, G4S expects that by the end of 2012, organic growth and earnings-per-share growth will return to the levels achieved in the years prior to the recession.

"G4S was up 4.1 at 280p"

'Is a Securitas/Niscayah reunion imminent?'

Mack says reunited companies better positioned to compete with the likes of G4S

STOCKHOLM, Sweden-Is it strange that guarding giant Securitas, which divested itself of its systems integration business (Securitas Systems, now Niscayah) five years ago, on May 16 made a bid to buy that very same business back?

It may be an unusual situation, but it's a deal that makes a lot of business sense for both Securitas and Niscayah, Imperial Capital's John Mack told Security Systems News. And it's a deal that Mack predicted is likely to get done.

"You can see the rationale," Mack said. "Niscayah, on its own, hasn't achieved the higher valuation it had hoped for ... and it's attractive now because the price is not that high." And Securitas made the decision to divest Niscayah at a time "where they didn't see the evolution of the market," he added.

That evolution is the trend toward the combined offering of guard, monitoring and systems integration services. The trend is well illustrated by G4S, a huge guard company that bought up Adesta and other systems integrators and now offers combined guards, monitoring and systems integration services

24 May 2011
G4S PLC
CAPITAL MARKETS DAY 2011
G4S, the international security solutions group, is holding its annual strategy
update for analysts and institutional investors tomorrow morning.

G4S CEO Nick Buckles will comment on the group's recent performance and the
medium term outlook for the business and will say: "G4S has a unique strategy
and geographic network to take advantage of some positive global security market
trends. Whilst our Cash Solutions businesses and those in Eastern Europe still
face challenging market environments, our significant New Markets businesses
continued to grow strongly during the global recession and we now expect them to
return to their double-digit growth trends. We are also encouraged to see growth
recover in some of our developed secure solutions markets.

As a result of these global security market trends and improved GDP and
inflation outlook we expect that, by the end of 2012, organic growth and EPS
growth will return to the levels achieved in the years prior to the recession."
No new material information will be disclosed during the capital markets day,
nor will there be any additional statement on current trading beyond what was in
the group's IMS announcement on 10 May 2011.

The presentation will be webcast live at

after
which a recording and transcript of the event will be available online. The
slides used in the presentation will be available online from 0900 GMT.
