This article will assess the period for listed contractors, equipment manufacturers and material producers from week 39 to week 44 (25 September to 30 October). It's been a mixed month for our listed equipment manufacturers in terms of share values. The CEE Index figure stands at -5.38% for the examined period. Ordinarily this would be cause for concern but speculation around a second spike of European national lockdowns has only added to lack of confidence from fallen year-on-year sales figures. At the time of writing, there has indeed been a more aggressive approach to the social distancing measures that have been implemented to protect against Covid-19. France entered a national lockdown on 30 October, with restrictions not expected to be lifted until 7 December. The UK is set to follow suit with a national lockdown beginning on 5 November and new restrictions in place until at least the beginning of December. In terms of positive news, there has been some uplift in share value experienced by half of the listed manufacturers.The biggest increase in share value for the five-week period seen by US-based crane manufacturer Terex (+40.92%).
