James Fisher & Sons PLC, down 32% at 530.00p, 12-month range 521.00p-1,323.42p. Shares in the marine services provider fall to 12-month low after profit warning. Says further delayed projects, an increase in bad debt risk and a poor performance in September for James Fisher's Tankships division have hurt its prospects. It now anticipates underlying operating profit for the full year to be in the range of GBP27 million to GBP32 million. It posted underlying operating profit of GBP40.5 million in 2020. In addition, Investec downgrades the stock to Hold from Buy.
