Good sales data lifted up  Inter Cars share price on Friday by over 3.5 percent. Higher revenue is also a chance for better results for the first half a year, which the Company shall publish on 31 August.  Distributor of automotive spare parts for passenger cars, commercial vehicles and trucks still has an area for development outside Poland, as on domestic market it is still generating around 60 per cent of sales revenue of the Group.

In the whole year, the distributor of spare parts for passenger cars, commercial vehicles and heavy goods vehicles made a net profit of around PLN 177,699 million. Admittedly the results for the first three months of 2015 cover only 20 percent of results for the previous year.  We need to keep in mind though, that the second and third quarter are usually better for the Company, which records an increase by about 50 percent at that time.  

 

Investors have accepted published sales data with enthusiasm.  At the beginning of a trading session, the share price went up by over 3.5 per cent, and for two hours of trading the situation changed only a bit.  Friday growth compensates for previous falls in share price of Inter Cars.
