Churchill China sees FY results 'slightly ahead' of expectations

Ceramics manufacturer Churchill China expects 2019 full-year results to be "slightly ahead" of expectations after a strong second half.

Churchill said it had made "solid progress" against its targets in the second half of the year, with good levels of trading in both the UK and export markets.

As a result, the AIM-listed group now expects its operating performance to come in above current market estimates.

Churchill will publish its preliminary results for the year ended 31 December 2019 on 26 March 2020.

As of 1350 GMT, Churchill shares were up 1.03% at 1,960p.
