AMEC – interim management statement

The substantial drop in the price of oil is more than likely to impact contract awards for AMEC and even spark some cancellations. But AMEC is a diversified company, working in other areas; Investors will certainly be happy that clean energy and the Middle East were doing well as of the last interim trading update.

British Land – second quarter results

Investors will be keen to hear about the level of sales, footfall and occupancy as British Land focuses on retail and office property. With a concentration of office properties in the capital, where demand is strong, British Land should have some thoughts on the market there. Any news about how the company will use the £1.5bn in debt finance raised earlier this year will also be welcome.

easyJet – fourth quarter results

easyJet raised its full year profit guidance in early October, so the markets will be hoping to see where the final figures will land, particularly since fuel costs have fallen and revenue per seat has spiked. Southern and Central European markets will be of interest, as will any comments on the recent news that a higher proportion of earnings are to be paid out in dividends.

Prudential – third quarter results
