After revealing its positive outlook for the rest of the current financial year last week, Wincanton’s continually increasing share price has hit its highest point since the MT Tracker began in January.
The company updated investors that it had performed well in the first quarter of its current financial year, despite slipping container volume.
Keeping with the positive trend, UK Mail’s share price has also continued to climb as it continues to deliver more parcels. Its share price is nearly double what it was in January, while its market cap is also at its highest point this year so far.
But after creeping up last week, Hargreaves Services’ share price has slipped to its lowest level since the beginning of May, despite revealing that it started the year with a “strong” financial position in its pre-close trading statement last week.
Dart Group meanwhile remains flat, as does its market cap this week. The Fowler Welch parent's share price soared last week, but has since leveled off, inching up very slightly to 240.25p this week.
Here is what share prices have looked like since the beginning of May:
