Week Ahead: G4S, Bank of England minutes
Fri, 12 Mar 2010, 12:44:00
The glut of end-year results looks to be drying up, leaving much of the field clear for second-liners to grab a bit of attention. International security firm <b>G4S</b> brings out full year results on Tuesday. Market expectations are for underlying profit before tax to climb to £366m from £336m the year before. Revenue is tipped to rise to smash through the seven billion barrier to £7.06bn, up from £5.94bn in 2008. Organic revenue growth at the nine month point was a creditable 4.2% compared to the 2008 performance, though the figure was down from 4.8% at the halfway stage. Analysts will be interested to see whether the growth rate continued to slide in the final quarter. On Wednesday the minutes from the most recent meeting of the Bank of England's <b>Monetary Policy Committee</b> (MPC) are released. As expected, the MPC kept its key lending rates unchanged and held firm on its decision to turn the Quantitative Easing (QE) tap off. The day before the MPC release, the US Federal Reserve's rate setting committee, the <b>Federal Open Market Committee</b> (FOMC), will announce its interest rate decision. No change is expected but there has been speculation that the FOMC will signal a willingness to start cranking up the rate at some point this year by removing the phrase 'extended period' from its commentary. <b>Monday March 15</b> INTERIMS Netcall INTERIM DIVIDEND PAYMENT DATE Impala Platinum QUARTERLY PAYMENT DATE Canadian General Investments INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC ANNOUNCEMENTS Empire State Manufacturing Survey (US) (12:30) Capacity Utilisation (US) (13:15) Industrial Production (US) (13:15) Employment (EU) (10:00) Consumer Price Index(EU) (10:00) Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (EU) (10:00) Consumer Confidence (JPN) UK ECONOMIC ANNOUNCEMENTS Rightmove House Prices (00:01) Q4 First Quantum Minerals GMS CareTech Holding, Infrastructure India FINALS Atlas Estates, First Quantum Minerals, Kingdom Hotel Investments GDS, Plantic Technologies, Telecom Egypt S.A.E GDS (Regs), TT Electronics ANNUAL REPORT Davis Service Group, India Capital Growth Fund Ltd., STV Group EGMS Adili, Pearl Group, Warner Estate Holdings AGMS Henderson Financial Opportunities Limited, Protonex Technology FINAL DIVIDEND PAYMENT DATE AstraZeneca, Delta, Invesco Income Growth Trust, OMG <b>Tuesday March 16</b> INTERIMS Air Partner, Asian Citrus, Brooks Macdonald, Close Brothers Group INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC ANNOUNCEMENTS BoJ Intrest Rates (JPN) (00:00) Machine Tool Orders (JPN) Tertiary Industry Index (JPN) Building Permits (US) (13:30) FOMC Interest Rate (US) (18:15) Housing Starts (US) (13:30) Import Price Index (US) (12:30) RBA Interest Rate Minutes (AUS) (00:00) ZEW Survey (GER) (10:00) Consumer Price Index (FRA) (07:45) Consumer Price Index (EU) (10:00) FINALS Ablon, Alpha Bank GDR (Reg S) USD, Amphion Innovations, Axis-Shield, Cello Group, Dealogic, Fairpoint Group, G4S, Hellenic Carriers, KBC Advanced Technologies, Kenmore European Industrial Fund, Wellstream Holdings, Win, Work Group AGMS All Leisure Group, BlackRock Commodities Income Inv Trust, THB Group, Wynnstay Group UK ECONOMIC ANNOUNCEMENTS Consumer Price Index (09:30) DCLG House Price Index (09:30) Retail Price Index (09:30) <b>Wednesday March 17</b> INTERIMS Ultimate Finance Group INTERIM DIVIDEND PAYMENT DATE Stagecoach Theatre Arts INTERIM EX-DIVIDEND DATE Abcam, Alternative Networks, Begbies Traynor Group, BrainJuicer Group, Go-Ahead Group, Interior Services, Share Plc, St Ives, Tristel, Welsh Industrial Inv Trust QUARTERLY PAYMENT DATE Royal Dutch Shell 'A', Royal Dutch Shell 'B' QUARTERLY EX-DIVIDEND DATE Alpha Pyrenees Trust Ltd., Queen's Walk Investment Ltd.
