Housebuilder said seven weeks ago that things were going well.
"I am delighted that after a strong performance in the second half of the year, the group expects to report record revenues and profit before tax for the year to 31 March 2017," said chief executive Jon Di-Stefano.
According to broker Peel Hunt, look for annual profit of £33 million and earnings per share of 35p. A dividend of 15.7p should give a yield of around 3.7%.
Di-Stefano has already said the company should make over £40 million in the year to 31 March 2018 and £50 million the year after.
Retail park owner is tipped to have increased net asset value by 3p to 146p during the second half. However, two major distribution development lettings, further strong growth in industrials – about 70% of LMP’s portfolio – and this year’s equity raise, could make it as much as 152p, according to Peel Hunt.
