Article Abstract:
BAA will pay less windfall tax than forecast, and this has helped push up the company's stock price. Two brokers rate the stocks a buy, one rates them a strong hold, and four rate them a hold. The buyers are ABN Amro Hoare Govett and UBS, while Morgan Stanley, Credit Lyonnais Laing, Greig Middleton and Daiwa Europe rate BAA stocks a hold. Morgan Stanley is not enthusiastic about the acquisition of Duty Free International, though Credit Lyonnais Laing does see this acquisition as useful.
