Friday Email: 16 February 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 is up 35 points (0.4%) on the week. The S&P 500 is up 0.53% and the Stoxx 600 is up 1.77%.
The past week has seen some FTSE 100 companies reporting and three of them yesterday performed badly on their results announcements. Unilever, Barclays and British American Tobacco all weighed on the index. Today, Natwest Group and Segro have performed badly.
The week ahead sees FTSE 100 companies Intercontinental Hotels, Antofagasta, BAE systems, HSBC, Glencore, Rio Tinto, Anglo American, Lloyds Banking group, Mondi, Centrica and Standard Chartered reporting.
Going ex dividend this coming Thursday with a yield in excess of 3% from the single dividend we have Impax Asset Management for 10.5%.
The Friday email is delivered to over 20,000 subscriber’s every week, and remains a widely read run-down of recent events and what investors can expect in the week ahead written by our chief analyst Mark Riding.
It’s included as part of the free DividendMax trial.
