AbstractWharf Holdings disapppointed the market yesterday by reporting results well below expectations. Net profit was up by only 13.8 per cent to $3.1 billion, in contrast to the 27 per cent rise that analysts had been predicting. Earnings per share were up 12.6 per cent, increasing to $1.43 for the year ended December 31. A final dividend of 73 cents took the annual dividend to 95 cents, an increase of 11.8 per cent over 1993's handout.
