It’s a busy week for results with a smorgasbord of companies reporting quarterly results, including more of the Magnificent Seven, or Big Tech gang, whose ability to drive up US markets has been curtailed amid concerns about their ability to capitalise on AI.
Also likely to be of interest is troubled aircraft manufacturer Boeing, reporting first-quarter figures on Wednesday, a day ahead of its European rival Airbus.
From the UK selection, I’d pick out Bunzl, chiefly because of my colleague Oliver Ralph’s inclusion of the packaging and distribution business in his wry analysis of the “magnificently unglamorous” seven UK-listed stocks, all of which are growing faster than international brand name blue-chip companies listed on the London market.
