EDINBURGH-BASED brewer Scottish & Newcastle is 2003’s worst-performing FTSE-100 stock, after its performance was hit by restructuring costs, including the sale of its pub estate. The maker of Fosters, Kronenbourg and John Smith’s has seen its shares underperform the FTSE by about 30 per cent since the start of the year. Telecoms group Cable & Wireless was the year’s top performer, with a 201.1 per cent rise in its share price.
