LONDON -- The FTSE 100
Naturally, every day there are some shares beating the indexes and some falling behind. Here's a quick look at three of today's risers.
Aero acquisition
Shares in GKN
It's a welcome boost to the share price, which has fallen a little over the past couple of years. The shares are now on a forward price-to-earnings ratio of just eight for the full year, with a 3.5% dividend expected.
Softly does it
Dunelm Group
Today's rise has added to a good year for the shares, which are now up around 30%.
Board shake-up
Insurer Aviva
Something is needed to reverse Aviva's recent fortunes. Maybe this focus on a new strategy will be it.
