City File: Going Forth

FORTH Ports profits are expected to come in at the higher end of brokers' forecasts this week. Brokers are predicting profits for the recently privatised Scottish ports, marine and property business of between pounds 3.7m and pounds 4.3m. Since it was privatised last March - Forth was the only one of the denationalised ports operators to take the stock market route - its shares have risen from an opening 110p to almost 167p on Friday.
