Tuesday will bring an update from Ocado Retail, the joint venture between Ocado Group PLC (LSE:OCDO) and Marks and Spencer Group PLC (LSE:MKS), which the former laid much of the blame for its ballooning losses.
The companies and analysts seem to expect some improvements in this first-quarter statement.
Darktrace PLC (LSE:DARK) gives its third-quarter update, with plenty of questions still about its model and opportunities going forward in an increasingly AI-dominated world, while the dark cloud for Irn Bru maker AG Barr PLC is costs, which are expected to dilute profits.
Elsewhere, Wood Group (John) PLC (LSE:WG.), which is second-top on the FTSE 350 leaderboard so far in 2023, reports results with its shares having been lifted by takeover interest by Apollo Global Management, with four bids turned down and the deadline recently extended in order to allow for results to be published.
Elsewhere in energy-related matters, Offshore Energies UK has promised the launch of its "powerful and perhaps controversial" business outlook report, which it said will look at the future of the UK’s North Sea energy supplies, covering offshore oil, gas and wind resources plus emerging industries like hydrogen production and carbon capture.
"It will also cover UK energy security, rising consumer bills and threats to our net zero targets in what is now the run-up to a general election - where energy could be a key issue."
