Upbeat DCC shares up 3%

David Clerkin

Chief executive Jim Flavin said the company had performed in line with expectations in the three months to June but that current trading patterns meant the full-year outturn would be at least 10% ahead of the previous year.

There was no comment at the AGM on the long-running alleged insider trading case taken by fruit importer Fyffes, which could cost DCC in the region of E80 million if it loses.
