23 February 2026
The market closed last week at yet another record high for the FTSE 100 at 10,686.89. The company reporting season now picks up this week with many companies reporting – these include leading companies such as Standard Chartered, Croda international, HSBC, London Stock Exchange and Rolls Royce as well as some of the companies we follow such as Diageo, Aston Martin Lagonda, Ocado, ME Group and McBride. These results will hopefully provide some guidance as to the future direction of the market.
