1106 GMT - Vinci posted a modest beat to earnings expectations and free cash flow ahead of consensus estimates, Jefferies analysts say in a note to clients. The French group remains highly cash generative and the increase in dividend payout is also a positive signal, the analysts say. However, order intake in energies and construction were notably weak, which is expected to draw some focus, they add. The book-to-build ratio in the fourth quarter reflects a slowing of momentum for Vinci's contracting business, they say. Shares trade 8% higher at 131.90 euros. (nina.kienle@wsj.com)
