Shares of G4S PLC (LON: GFS) dipped 2% this morning in London after the security provider saw its revenue fell 2%.
Still, the security firm noted that profit for the first nine months of the year ending September 30 was ahead of the last year’s levels. Lower revenue is blamed on a fight to reduce costs during the pandemic.
Underlying profits are ahead of expectations as well after the company managed to retain and win new contracts with annual revenue values of £2 billion. G4S recently announced it won a ten year, £30 million per year contract to deliver custody and rehabilitation services at HMP Five Wells in the UK.
