Top Industrial Disributor Companies To Own In Right Now

LONDON -- The FTSE 100 (FTSEINDICES: ^FTSE  ) isn't doing much today. The index of top U.K. shares is up a meager 12 points, or 0.19%, as of 9:25 a.m. EDT. Recent economic news has failed to clarify the medium-term outlook, and many are waiting for the next moves from central banks -- although the formation of a government in Italy has at least eliminated one bit of uncertainty.

News for companies is not all good today, either, with profit warnings taking some of the shine off recent upbeat earnings reports. Here are three companies slipping today.

The firm's U.K. construction business is now "expected to deliver significantly lower profits from operations for 2013 than management's expectations at the time of the full-year results announcement in March," as tough market conditions over the second half of 2012 are continuing.
