Have you backed one of the winners following the horse-meat scandal? Beneficiaries include local butchers and vegetarian brand Quorn. But if you have shares in a certain safety inspector you are onto a good thing too. Intertek has been able to boast about its "state-of –the-art lab facilities" that are staffed by "world-class experts". Checking for equine DNA makes a change from tests on children's pyjamas or fire doors. Food testing is only 2 per cent of the business, but WH Ireland's analysts reckon the "horse-meat scandal is an example of the intense public concern about product integrity" which is helping Intertek perform so well. Today Intertek updates shareholders on its full-year results. Analysts at Berenberg Bank reckon it will report strong, organic growth with earnings of £335m – up 19 per cent on the previous year. They also predict an upbeat view about the "state of the industry and the structural drivers powering its growth".
