On Thursday Ted Baker PLC (LON:TED) posted weaker-than-expected first-half revenues and warned that the environment was challenging as it took a hit from the collapse of House of Fraser, where it has a number of concessions. That does not bode well for Thursday’s interims given that the company said in its June trading update that, although it had posted a 0.4% increase in the thirteen week period ended June 2 (the first quarter of the retailer’s fiscal year), the growth was entirely due to a 9% rise in financial services-related activity, rather than product sales, which fell by 2.8% year-on-year. International job markets have led growth for recruiters PageGroup and Hays as UK employers exercise more caution on hiring decision amid Brexit uncertainty. For PageGroup, which reports its third quarter results on Wednesday, the Europe, Middle East and Africa region is its star performer having accounted for 49% of gross profit in the first half. Brewing group and publican firm Marston’s plc (LON:MARS) will be hoping to capitalise on its strong performance during the summer period when it issues a trading update for the fourth quarter on Wednesday.
