On Tuesday comes big oil, booze and sausage rolls, with BP PLC (LSE:BP.) and Greggs.
Like peer Shell a week earlier, BP’s second-quarter results are expected to see a significant slowdown driven by lower commodity prices, but still strong enough cashflows to funnel plenty of returns for shareholders.
Diageo PLC (LSE:DGE) reports for the first time since the death of its chief executive Ivan Menezes last month.
The focus will be on business though, with analysts disagreeing on prospects for the Johnnie Walker and Guinness maker, though a global trend towards Scotch whisky consumption is one sure movement, Barclays said recently.
Over at the sausage-roll king, Greggs PLC (LSE:GRG) which two months ago warned that high costs were likely to stick around, we should see in the results if sales are slowing more than inflation.
In the US, the Tuesday reporters include Pfizer, where analysts aren’t overly optimistic about the pharma company’s second quarter.
