Shipping services firm Clarkson hiked its forecasts for the full year last week on the back of strong trading throughout its fourth quarter, with pre-tax profits expected to come in at more than £98m. Analysts at Peel Hunt said profits were expected to come in 17 per cent ahead of their £83.6m forecast, which was likely to drive a positive reaction from the stock. They rate it a 'buy' stock with a target price of 400p.
