Mike Ashley’s Frasers Group PLC update on its progress towards a 30% profit growth target when it reports half year results.
With majority stakeholder Ashley stepping down as chairman since Frasers last reported, the upcoming results from the Sports Direct and Debenhams owner should give insight to any changes to the group’s strategy.
British American Tobacco PLC (LSE:BATS) (British American Tobacco PLC (LSE:BATS)) could raise its full-year guidance, according to analysts at Barclays, as its continued business in Russia is expected to bolster the company’s underlying profits.
Purplebricks Group PLC (AIM:PURP) (Purplebricks Group PLC (AIM:PURP)) interims could also be interesting as it battles an activist investor who wants to give its chairman the boot.
