Week commencing 18 July
Chris Beauchamp’s insight
Earnings season continues to intensify this week, as banks, Tesla and Netflix all report earnings. After a somewhat shaky start, investors will hope this week’s crop can provide some more good news. A quiet start to the week in economic data then gives way to UK CPI, flash PMI readings and a key ECB rate decision.

Dividends
FTSE 100: None
FTSE 250: Investec, Cranswick, Pennon, Micro Focus, Bellevue
Dividends are applied after the close of the previous day’s session for each market. So, for example, the FTSE 100 goes ex-dividend on a Thursday, but the adjustment is applied at the close of the previous day, e.g. Wednesday. The table below shows the days in which the adjustment is applied, not the ex-dividend days.
