0814 GMT - SSP delivered encouraging first-half results and has made a solid start to the second half of the year, raising the prospect of a share buyback later in the year, Shore Capital's Greg Johnson writes in a note. Underlying operating profit rose 17% to 68 million pounds and the company backed its full-year guidance but noted macroeconomic uncertainty. As SSP accelerates its program to boost profitability and cuts capital investment, there is an increasing prospect of a share buyback, he adds. Shares trade up 3.7% at 173.40 pence.
