Week ahead: US GDP, Mitchells & Butlers, Severn Trent...

Fri, 19th Nov 2010 15:22

Pubs group Mitchells & Butlers' recent nine week trading update highlighted a 3.6% like-for-like sales improvement on last year. Food sales were, as usual, the driver of growth but even the "wet" side of the business saw a pick-up. Brokers now expect the All Bar One and Harvester owner to post profits of £166m this year, but this figure could be conservative.Utilities move to centre stage in the middle of the week with interim results from Severn Trent and United Utilities. Broker Charles Stanley expects Severn Trent to report pre-tax profits of £169m and EPS of 51.2p with a dividend 10% lower at 24.0p.Like Severn Trent, United Utilities' interims will be the first set of results under the new price control regime that runs until 2015. Charles Stanley expects profits of £163m and EPS of 17.5p. The dividend is expected to be 12% lower at 9.8p. Also on Wednesday, contract caterer Compass should report good organic revenue growth in its second half of the year, which could even exceed 5% and lift the full year total to over 3%. Pre-tax profits should be about the £900m mark.Platinum giant Johnson Matthey should be getting a boost from the strong revival in the sales of cars and heavy lorries. Platinum prices have also been strong generally over the past six months.Ad agency WPP recently reported like-for-like revenues rose by 4.1% in the first nine months of its current year as companies restarted advertising spending after the recession with traditional ad spending outstripping online. Total revenue rose by 6.3% to £6.69bn with third quarter sales up 12.2% to £2.3bn. Chief executive Sir Martin Sorrell was also upbeat over the rest of this year and 2011 and should be similarly optimistic this week.US news dominates the economic agenda with all eyes on the GDP data for the third quarter on Tuesday. Consensus forecast are for the US economy to have grown by 2.4% over the past three months, up from 2% in the previous quarter.A higher figure could trigger a bullish reaction in the dollar as the economic outlook looks to improve, a more sluggish growth rate could prompt a quick sell-off in the greenback.Minutes to the Federal Open Market Committee will also be released Tuesday and are expected to reveal the committee's growth projections in light of its much-criticised $600bn bond-purchasing programme.Monday November 22INTERIMSBig Yellow Group, KSK Power Ventur, Mitie GroupINTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC ANNOUNCEMENTSConsumer Confidence Indicator (EU) (10:00)Q2Big Yellow GroupQ3JSC Halyk Savings Bank of Kazakhstan GDR (Reg S), SynchronicaGMSNetplay TV, TristelFINALSDiploma, RM, Sarantel Group 'B' SharesANNUAL REPORTBowLeven, TristelEGMsEMED Mining Public Ltd., JSC Bank of Georgia GDR (Reg S)AGMsOrigin Enterprises, Pure WaferFINAL DIVIDEND PAYMENT DATEHenderson EuroTrustTuesday November 23INTERIMSAssura Group Ltd., Bango, Caledonia Investments, Carclo, De La Rue, Digital Marketing Group, Hamworthy, Heath (Samuel) & Sons, Homeserve, Intermediate Capital Group, KCOM Group, Renold, Severn Trent, Telecom PlusINTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC ANNOUNCEMENTSABC Consumer Confidence (US) (22:00)Gross Domestic Product (US) (13:30)Q3Alpha Bank GDR (Reg S) USD, Espirito Santo Financial Group SA, Signet Jewelers Ltd.GMSClipper Windpower (Reg S), Proventec, Sylvania Resources Ltd.

Sustainable Switch: When an ‘existential threat’ isn’t an emergency

July 21 - Sharon Kimathi Energy and ESG Editor, Reuters Digital sharon.kimathi@thomsonreuters.com

Hello!

Before diving into today’s newsletter that focuses on U.S. President Joe Biden’s announcement on the climate emergency, I have my own announcement to make. I’ll be taking a break next week and Sustainable Switch will be switched off while I am gone. But rest assured, I and the newsletter will be back with all the latest ESG news in your inbox as usual on Aug. 2.

Now, let’s get straight to it!

* Biden described climate change as an emergency on Wednesday, but stopped short of a formal declaration, announcing a modest package of executive actions and promising more aggressive efforts to come.
