Friday Email: 17 June 2022

Every Friday morning our lead analyst Mark Riding sends out his weekly run-down and upcoming events in the investor calendar, like this one:

The FTSE 100 has fallen by 292 points (4%) this week. The third consecutive weekly fall driven by inflation worries and interest rate rises. The S&P 500 has continued with its very poor performance in 2022 falling 7.74% this week and a year to date drop of 23.55%. The Stoxx 600 has fallen 3.9% this week.

The past week has been quiet from a reporting perspective and next week is also very quiet.

From an ex dividend perspective next week is quite busy. Companies going ex dividend this Thursday with yields at or in excess of 2% include Castings 4.5% (Special dividend to be followed by the ordinary dividend going ex dividend on July 21st for a further 3.78%), VP (3.1%), Norcros (2.9%), United Utilities (2.8%), TR Property Investment Trust (2.4%), VPC Speciality Lending (2.3%), Mitie (2.3%), Tatton Asset Management (2.3%), British Land (2.3%) and Helical for 2%.
