What to keep an eye out for today<\/p>\n
British telecom giant Vodafone Group<\/a> is expected to report its 2025 financial year results.<\/p>\n Analysts polled by FactSet expect full-year total sales to be \u00a331.74 billion ($42.39 billion), with a pre-tax profit of \u00a31.84 billion. Earnings per share is expected at 7.10 pence.<\/p>\n UBS analysts expect the merger with U.K. competitor Three will add \u00a3470 million to adjusted profits, but will detract from free cash flow as the company will be forced to invest upfront.<\/p>\n “While easing declines in German service revenues should be a tailwind for the shares, the prospect of further [free cash flow] downgrades will likely weigh on the stock near-term,” UBS analyst Polo Tang added in an earnings preview note to clients on May 12.<\/p>\n The stock currently trades at nearly 5.3% expected dividend yield. Analysts forecast a dividend of 3.78 pence per share, according to FactSet.<\/p>\n U.K. baker Greggs<\/a> and Swiss Life<\/a> are also set to report earnings on Tuesday.<\/p>\n \u2014 Ganesh Rao<\/p>\n Here are the opening calls<\/p>\n Here are Tuesday’s opening calls.<\/p>\n European bourses are expected to open higher Tuesday, with London’s FTSE expected to open up 43 points at 8,726, Germany’s\u00a0DAX<\/a> up 92 points at 23,998, the French\u00a0CAC 40<\/a> up 41 points at 7,908\u00a0and Italy’s FTSE MIB<\/a> up 92 points at 40,330, according to data from IG.<\/p>\n \u2014 Holly Ellyatt<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What to keep an eye out for today British telecom giant Vodafone Group is expected to report its…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":116216,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3091],"tags":[5189,51,3085,52284,30679,52283,2441,32101,52285,5191,16,15,52282],"class_list":{"0":"post-116215","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-markets","8":"tag-breaking-news-europe","9":"tag-business","10":"tag-business-news","11":"tag-greggs-plc","12":"tag-home-depot-inc","13":"tag-ihs-holding-ltd","14":"tag-markets","15":"tag-palo-alto","16":"tag-ssp-group-plc","17":"tag-stoxx-600","18":"tag-uk","19":"tag-united-kingdom","20":"tag-vodafone-group-plc"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114538437936439055","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116215","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116215"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116215\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/116216"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116215"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116215"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116215"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
