(Sharecast News) - Tuesday will see the release of full-year results from Standard Chartered, Croda and Unite, while McBride will publish interim results.
As far as Croda is concerned, UBS said it expects the chemicals company to report second-half 2025 adjusted pre-tax profit of 133m, 2% above Visible Alpha consensus of 131m.
The bank expects fourth-quarter group sales of 413m, about 2.5% above consensus of 403m, and second-half group adjusted operating profit of 149m, about 2% above consensus.
"Our 4Q25 sales estimate is slightly below our prior estimate of 416m to reflect more cautious expectations for the Industrial Specialties division," UBS said.
The bank also said it expects Croda to deliver 1.5% organic sales growth (OSG) in 4Q25, versus consensus at 0.8%, with 5.0% volume growth and a -3.5% price/mix.
In Europe, results are due from Endesa, Leonardo and Saipem, among others, while Home Depot, HP and Keurig Dr Pepper are slated to report in the US.
