That momentum is expected to continue with further sales growth of 7%-9% forecast for the year ahead, shareholders are in course for a 10% increase in the final dividend and total capital returns for FY25 will exceed \u00a31.5bn.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">Galliford Try [LON:TRY] has this morning announced its appointment onto the Department for Education\u2019s Construction Framework. This \u00a315.4bn spending commitment is to fund the upgrade of educational facilities in the UK although it\u2019s worth adding that Galliford\u2019s allocation here is in the region of \u00a325m.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">A mixed bag from Glencore [LON:GLEN] this morning as whilst the commodity giant\u2019s Copper operations have benefitted from soaring metals prices, that has been overshadowed by weakness in the coal market. So whilst revenues are 7% higher, adjusted EBITDA fell 6% although good progress was evidently made in the second half of the year, too, whilst the cost and efficiency drive which identified $1bn worth of savings is expected to complete by the end of this year, too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">Trade US and EU stocks commission-free with MEXEM, only \u00a32 flat UK share trades and FX fees of 0.25% with our Stocks &amp; Shares ISA.
