A quarterly trading update from Ashtead Group Plc (LSE:AHT) will be among a couple of highlights in the diary, as it reveals more about how the US and UK construction markets have been performing.
Management is also likely to comment on the Sunbelt strategic ambitions they laid out in April’s investor event.
These results also mark the transition to reporting in US dollars for the FTSE 100 group, which means the consensus forecasts are a bit distorted.
“Overall we suspect that group has performed well through the quarter, with continued volume and rate momentum in Sunbelt US,” said broker Peel Hunt.
“The outlook remains robust and we see upside risk building to FY22E estimates.”
