Next week marks the start of the highly anticipated third-quarter earnings season for US companies, with major Wall Street banks such as JPMorgan and BlackRock set to take center stage. However, the pace in London will be slower, with only a handful of notable updates expected from companies like Hays and pub operator Marston’s.
Earnings Reports in London: The week begins quietly on Monday with little corporate activity in London. On Tuesday, investors will turn their attention to Unite Group, the student accommodation provider, which will deliver its latest financial update. Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, PepsiCo will release its third-quarter results, offering insights into the broader consumer sector.
Marston’s, the British pub chain, will report on Wednesday, alongside financial services firm CMC Markets, which will also reveal how its trading performance fared in the last quarter. Thursday will be relatively subdued, with ventilation products manufacturer Volution leading the list of London updates.
Hays, the global recruitment firm, will close out the week in London, offering insights into labor market trends and corporate hiring demand, before focus shifts to Wall Street, where several major US banks will kick off the third-quarter earnings season.
US Earnings Season Begins: As London winds down for the week, the spotlight will shift to the United States, where major banks such as JPMorgan Chase and BlackRock will be among the first to report their third-quarter results. With inflation, interest rates, and recession concerns still dominating market sentiment, analysts will be eager to see how these financial giants have navigated the economic uncertainty.
JPMorgan is expected to give a clear indication of how higher interest rates have impacted lending, while BlackRock's results will shed light on the state of asset management and investor sentiment amid volatile markets. The earnings season will continue with other financial institutions reporting in the days to follow.
