Friday Email: 26 January 2018
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 poor week as the main index slipped due to the strength of the pound.
The past week has been quiet with just a handful of companies reporting. Those that did all reported modest dividend increases with the exception of Crest Nicholson who increased by 20%
The week ahead remains quiet with some pick up in company reporting the following week. Going ex-dividend this week, again things are quiet. The standout this ex-dividend stock this coming Thursday is Victrex who will pay a final dividend of 41.6p (1.6%) and a special dividend of 68p (2.7%) on February 16th.
