Barratt Developments PLC (LSE:BDEV) reports this week, following the curious non-appearance of fellow FTSE 100-listed rival Persimmon’s trading update last week.
The Newcastle-based builder will be closely watched for news on how the current mortgage uncertainty is affecting business.
The data services colossus has guided to 4-6% growth for the year, though analysts expect the first quarter to be at the slower end.
