AIM - LOSERS
----------
Tasty PLC, down 7.8% at 5.07p, 12-month range 4.50p-8.50p. The London-based casual dining restaurant operator surrenders gains of 10% it made on Wednesday. The stock closed flat on Thursday. On Wednesday, it said it swung to a pretax profit of £1.2 million in year to December 26 from a loss at £12.6 million the year before. This was on revenue growth of 44% to £34.9 million from £24.2 million. Selling pressure on Friday also stems from Wagamama owner Restaurant Group PLC being cut by Barclays to ’underweight’ from ’equal weight’. The investment bank says casual dining firms have greater exposure to the ebbs and flows of the economy than food on-the-go companies. UK consumer confidence took a hit in March, numbers from GfK showed Friday. GfK’s consumer confidence index fell by 5 points to minus 31 in March as consumers confront a ‘wall of worry’ amid 30-year-high levels of inflation.
