BP (BP.) - The global Oil producer and refiner has announced Q3 adjusted net profits of $1.87bn and revenues of $60.8bn, comfortably beating estimates of $1.58bn and $48.19bn. The company has recommended a Q4 share buyback to offset the impact of a scrip dividend programme.
Ryanair (RYA) - The low cost airline has stuck with its FY profit targets despite pledging to increase the total pay pot for pilots by €100m, although it expects passenger numbers to dip to 129m from 131m.
Weir Group (WEIR) - The oil and mining equipment producer has cut its FY operating profits guidance as underperformance at its minerals business offsets a strong performance for oil & gas operations.
