Persimmon, Just Eat Takeaway, Aston Martin Lagonda and Reckitt Benckiser are among companies reporting today as the annual results season continues.
Housebuilder Persimmon reported a 4% rise in underlying profits to just over £1 billion but provisions for building safety remediation meant the bottom-line figure fell to £730.7 million from £966.8 million the year before.
Chief executive Dean Finch warned that completions will be down markedly this year and “as a consequence, so will margin and profits”.
