Close Brothers Group PLC's (LSE:CBG) update will be overshadowed by the ongoing Financial Conduct Authority probe into motor financing.
The FTSE 250-listed merchant bank has already paused its dividend and is shoring up its balance sheet with a £400 million liquidity plan.
Details on how that is faring will be worth noting in next week’s update and also what the earnings impact is, as car finance is a major plank of its business.
Also worth noting will be if market-making arm Winterflood is seeing any pick up in UK equity trading, though, if it is, that might just move it up the pecking order of businesses to be sold to pay off any car finance penalties.
Shares have rallied since the initial shock of the FCA move, but still are still down nearly 40% since the start of the year.
