Aston Martin's recovery and Reckitt's margins take centre stage on Wednesday

Aston Martin Lagonda Global Holdings PLC (LSE:AML) is expected to show modest signs of recovery when it opens the bonnet on full-year results on Wednesday, according to Goldman Sachs at least.

Final results are also due from blue-chip consumer goods maker Reckitt Benckiser Group PLC (LSE:RKT, ETR:3RB), following some mixed numbers from rival Unilever due to continued input cost inflation.

Analysts at UBS also expect a mixed update from RB, but the company has long been confident about its ability to pass on cost increases.

Persimmon PLC (LSE:PSN) is among the housing blue-chips repotting in the week, with analysts at Citi lately pointing out that UK housebuilders and building products sectors have both had a good start to the year, "driven by an improving sentiment and expectations of a soft landing".

However, any sustainability of the near-term strength "relies crucially on the outlook of mortgage rates and house prices", analysts added, with the seasonal demand uplift and recent reductions in mortgage rates supporting stable asking house prices but a gap between achieved and asking prices to be "keenly watched".

In the US, customer relationship management powerhouse Salesforce and hydrogen fuel cell star Plug Power, as well as one of Tesla’s Chinese rivals, NIO, are all reporting.
