BUZZ-Hill & Smith: best day in almost 2 years after FY

** Infrastructure products maker Hill & Smith (Stuttgart: 7HL.SG - news) +12 pct, biggest pct gain since May 2016

** Co reports record revenue & profits

** Investec (LSE: INVP.L - news) upgrades to "buy" from "add"

** Our FY18 and FY19 EPS upgrades look small and benefit from lower tax rates, these do absorb FX headwind, making the FY18E underlying upgrade nearer to 6 pct - Investec

** Market bullish on the stock with all 5 brokerages covering the stock rating it "buy" or higher

** Stock top of FTSE 250 index
