Analysts at Peel Hunt have rated Upper Crust owner, SSP Group, a buy after it struck an agreement to acquire 100 per cent of the shares in the Aussie-based airport food and beverage operator Airport Retail Enterprises (ARE). The transaction "should be incremental," analysts said, which will be considered in their forecasts once more information on the acquisition and "likely profitability" surfaces.
