LONDON (SHARECAST) - Investors will be waiting to find out whether DSG International got an early boost from this year's football World Cup when the Currys and PC World owner publishes result for the 52 weeks ended 1 May.
Societe Generale is looking for a pre-tax profit of £85m, in the middle of the £80m to £90m consensus range.
Last month, the group said it saw an improvement in trading in the 28 weeks to 1 May as the economic outlook improved. Total group sales were up by 8% from the same period a year ago.
Software group Micro Focus is also due to publish full-year figures. The firm said in May it expects to report total revenues of approximately $432m ($274.7m) for the last six months after a 'solid' end to the period.
Group EBITDA margin, excluding exceptional items and stock based compensation, for the same period, is expected to be approximately 40% for the full year, the firm added.
