UK's Johnson Matthey says okay with forecasts

LONDON, Nov 28 (Reuters) - British metals and chemicals firm Johnson Matthey Plc is comfortable with a majority of analysts forecasts for its annual profits, its Finance Director said on Thursday.

"If you look at the forecasts, there's a group of analysts in the low 190s (million pounds). And there are some forecasts significantly higher than that. We're comfortable with the majority of the forecasts... in the low 190s," John Sheldrick told Reuters in an interview.

Earlier on Thursday, the firm reported its first-half profits rose three percent, weighed down by a weaker dollar and lower prices and subdued trading in palladium and rhodium.
