The UK 100 is called to open +16 points this morning at 7482. The UK 100 is expected to start on the front foot for the third day in a row on Tuesday, ahead of unemployment figures and with the pound trading close to a two-year low. It was a difficult session on Wall Street yesterday, the Dow Jones was marginally above flat, while the S&P 500 dipped 0.4% and the tech heavy Nasdaq dropped 1.2%.
Britvic reports that their H1 pretax profit has risen to £59.3m from £39.8m YoY. They have announced an initial share buyback of £75m and they are expecting cost inflation and pressure on consumer spending into 2023.
Imperial Brands says they are on track for FY results in line with guidance. They reported an adjusted H1 pretax profit of £1.44bn (2021: £1.38bn) as they report an operating hit of £201m in Russian exit charges.
Land Securities reports a FY22 pretax profit of £875m (2021: £1.39bn loss). They have also increased their dividend by 37% to 37p.
Vodafone reported a 5% rise in FY core earnings, meeting the bottom of its guidance, helped by a good performance in its largest market, Germany. They expect to deliver a resilient financial performance in the year ahead. They do expect challenges of the current economic environment to hurt results in FY23.
