Coca-Cola HBC AG (CCH) · 2026-11-04
Coca-Cola HBC AG raised 2026 organic revenue-growth guidance to slightly above the previous 6% to 7% range after Q3 organic revenue grew 9.0% and volume rose 5.4%. Organic EBIT-growth guidance remains 8% to 10%, while Ukraine volume fell by more than 20% amid supply-chain disruption.

Marks & Spencer reported a sharp first-half recovery, with group sales up 16.2% to £9.3bn and adjusted profit before tax of £403.2m versus £184.1m, while still expecting full-year 2026/27 adjusted profit before tax to be in line with current market expectations. Statutory profit before tax rose to £355.1m from £3.4m. However, Fashion, Home & Beauty sales and profit remained below 2024/25 as post-incident availability constraints limited sales conversion and a greater online mix increased fulfilment costs.

The project targets about £2.0 million of additional annual gross margin from FY30. The 2026 harvest yield was 3.0 tonnes per acre, below FY25’s 3.7 tonnes and the five-year average of 3.3 tonnes, after modest May-frost damage that was only partly offset by stronger non-affected crops.

Richmond Hill Resources has mobilised its drill crew at Sakoose, starting a defined nine-hole, approximately 1,400 m exploration programme.

FORGENT plc has cut the initial consideration payable on exercising its Mount Sholl option by about 64% and extended the option to 14 November 2026. Total conditional consideration remains A$2.7 million, but the option has not been exercised and requires a separate Forgent decision.
