Friday Email: 23 January 2026
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 down 60 points (0.59%) in a volatile week. The S&P 500 is down 0.81% and the Stoxx 600 is down 0.27%.
The past week has been typical of January in the makets with trading statements being the main news. The reporting season kicks off in February. Notwithstanding the difficult geopolitical picture the FTSE 100 remains up 2.18% year to date.
Going ex dividend this coming Thursday with yields in excess of 3% from the single dividend we have Victrex (7%) and Hollywood Bowl for 3.3%.
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.
