0947 GMT - Christie Group's dividend boost clearly reflects confidence in the future, Shore Capital's Rob Sanders writes in a note. The London-listed professional-services provider delivered an outstanding performance for last year, alongside robust market positions in its specialist sectors, he says. The group can now use its strong balance sheet to support growth through investment and fund a progressive dividend policy, he adds. Additionally, the company's 2025 dividend--up more than 50% from 2024--highlights the board's belief in the company's future prospects, he says. Shares are up 25% at 150 pence.
