Friday Email: 31 January 2025

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 had a very good week rising 190 points (2.24%). The S&P 500 has fallen 0.82% and the Stoxx 600 has risen 2.21%.

The past week has seen the reporting season slowly start up in the U.K. and as we move into February the pace picks up. Currently, trading statements are the main source of information for investors. The U.S reporting season is well underway.

Going ex dividend this coming Thursday with yields in excess of 2% from the single dividend we have Taylor Maritime (4.6%) and Paragon Banking for 3.6%.
