Tuesday preview: StanChart, Croda results in focus
(Sharecast News) - Tuesday will see the release of full-year results from Standard Chartered, Croda and Unite, while McBride will publish interim results. As far as Croda is concerned, UBS said it expects the chemicals company to report second-half 2025 adjusted pre-tax profit of £133m, 2% above Visible Alpha consensus of £131m.
The bank expects fourth-quarter group sales of £413m, about 2.5% above consensus of £403m, and second-half group adjusted operating profit of £149m, about 2% above consensus.
"Our 4Q25 sales estimate is slightly below our prior estimate of £416m to reflect more cautious expectations for the Industrial Specialties division," UBS said.
The bank also said it expects Croda to deliver 1.5% organic sales growth (OSG) in 4Q25, versus consensus at 0.8%, with 5.0% volume growth and a -3.5% price/mix.
In Europe, results are due from Endesa, Leonardo and Saipem, among others, while Home Depot, HP and Keurig Dr Pepper are slated to report in the US.
