Market expectations for 2009 pretax profit had ranged from between £293m and £416m, with the consensus at £372.6m.

G4S delivered strong growth in Africa and the Middle East, helped by contract wins at Baghdad International and Qatar airports, the FIFA Club World Cup soccer tournament in the UAE and oil and gas related contracts in Papua New Guinea. Evolution analyst Graham Brown said: "2009 organic revenue growth of 3.7 per cent versus 4.2 per cent for the first nine months implies about 2.2 per cent in Q4.". However, the Anglo Danish company said it expected organic growth in 2010 to be broadly similar to 2009

But my number one pick and the stock that appears the most logical in this space for the foreseeable future is Wal Mart (NYSE: ). The Arkansas based retailer has exceeded analyst EPS expectations in the last three quarters, and positive surprises may lie ahead as well  again due to the lingering financial crisis on Main Street and the desire of many to save and stretch their budget. Interestingly, Citigroup (NYSE: C ) must see some value, this past weekend Debra Weinswig, an analyst with the firm, reportedly raised her rating on the shares from Hold to Buy. To be clear, this one analyst recommendation won't change the world
