0830 GMT - Wilmington's sale of APM aligns with its strategic focus on portfolio businesses with common characteristics that drive the U.K. data and training-services provider's organic revenue growth and profitability, Numis analysts Steve Liechti and Gareth Davies write in a research note. The deal is part of a proposed healthcare intelligence assets sale and should lead to long-term growth and quality of earnings, the analysts say. As a result of the cash proceeds and the previous MiExact sale, full-year net cash will increase to GBP63 million, the U.K. brokerage says. Shares are up 2% at 359.00 pence.(najat.kantouar@wsj.com)
