Among those updating the market will be several retailers, including Marks and Spencer Group PLC (LSE:MKS), DFS, Halfords and Tesco.
M&S last year saw its shares tumble back close to all-time lows though it was on the up since the autumn, with one analyst suggesting "a lot of the recent pessimism seems somewhat overdone".
Tesco PLC (LSE:TSCO), on the other hand, has not endured anywhere near as much pain as its more upmarket rival.
And ahead of the trading statement, Goldman Sachs predicted the number-one supermarket group's shares could benefit in the new year after recent positive data seen in the UK sector.
Tesco provides “more upside” potential with its current valuation “compelling” - though some other analysts were less bullish.
ASOS PLC (LSE:ASC) will be with a trading statement for the four months ended 31 December, completing a year that saw the shares plunge over 70%.
Investors no doubt will be interested in how the online clothing retailer fared during the festive period, and whether it was able to provide some form of relief - though analysts have different levels of scepticism.
