Thursday preview: AB Foods, Centaur, Ashmore

Associated British Foods, which last Friday announced the acquisition of the Elephant Atta ethnic flour brand from Premier Foods, updates the market on Thursday. Attention will probably be on the group's Primark clothing chain, as usual, but the Elephant Atta purchase is a useful reminder that there is more to the company than Primark.

Panmure Gordon expects the tone of the trading update to be similar to the previous report with "strong earnings growth expected to be delivered for the year to September, driven by particularly impress growth in the Sugar division."
