Etihad Orders 10 Boeing Jets, Raising Talk of Hard-to-Get 787 Slots

Etihad Airways is nearing a deal for 10 more Boeing 787 jets, according to people briefed on the matter. The order would boost the Abu Dhabi carrier’s long-haul fleet, as early slots for wide-body deliveries are tight. Wide-bodies are twin-aisle planes mostly used for international routes. Reuters said the deal might be unveiled at the July 20-24 Farnborough Airshow, but sources said talks are still ongoing. Etihad and Boeing both declined to comment. The warning is getting more airtime these days — investors are watching not just how many jets sell, but which airlines can actually secure deliveries fast enough to cash in.

RUA Life Sciences gains after numbers hint at profit

RUA Life Sciences Plc shares gained almost 10% Tuesday after the company posted a smaller first-half loss.

Still, the shares are up 59.2% over 12 months, according to Investors Chronicle data.

Associated British Engineering (LON:ASBE) trades with wide spread, cash still covers bulk of value

Associated British Engineering plc traded Tuesday looking like a listed cash shell, not a typical engineering stock. The mid price stayed at 17.5p, but the order book showed a wide 10p to 25p quote, a 15p spread or about 86% of the mid. Anyone crossing the spread—buying at the offer and selling at the bid—would take a 60% hit before fees. AJ Bell’s last recorded trade shows 24 shares moving at 10.5p at 0804 on June 29. Before that, the only other visible trade was 2,935 shares at 15.11p on June 23, a £443.48 deal. That’s all investors see on a tape where a single small trade moves the chart.
