Shares of Smiths Group PLC (LONL SMIN) have gained more than 3% today to trade at an 8-month high after the company confirmed the full-year guidance.

Smiths, the engineering titan, said that revenue for the three months to 31 October was down 2% on an underlying basis. Still, the company is confident that it will meet the full-year guidance for its fiscal year ending July 2021.

“Smiths delivered a good trading performance in the first quarter. In a period of ongoing global disruption, the Group continues to demonstrate its resilience, founded on market-leading positions and a high proportion of aftermarket revenues,” the company said in a statement.
