• DJ Vodafone's Dividend Cut Will Improve Its Balance Sheet -- Market Talk, from 34 minutes ago by Dow Jones

  1238 GMT - Vodafone's absence of any new profit warnings is good news, especially as the plan to halve the dividend in the year to March 2025 is already well trailered, AJ Bell Investment Director Russ Mould writes in a research note. "While painful, the cut looks a sensible move. It will free up more than EUR1.0 billion a year in cash flow and enable Vodafone to either further reduce debt or invest in its core operations to maintain and enhance their competitive position," Mould says. The U.K. telecommunication company will benefit from changes in its group structure as the business will look simpler, and the balance sheet will carry less debt to improve its long-term growth potential, Mould says. Shares are up 3.4% at 72.34 pence. (najat.kantouar@wsj.com)

  0801 GMT - Vodafone investors are likely to start considering a margin recovery in fiscal 2026, Citi group analysts Georgios Ierodiaconou and Mollie Witcombe write in a research note. The U.K. telecommunications company delivered decent fiscal-year results with a slight beat on provided guidance, they say. The new rebased consensus and guidance softens some of the potential risk, the U.S. bank says. Also the restructuring and integration costs are much lower than expected--which should be seen as positive--it adds. Share are up 1% at 71.10 pence. (najat.kantouar@wsj.com)

  0649 GMT - The FTSE 100 is expected to open little changed, up 1.2 points, according to IG, having closed on Monday at 8414.99. The U.K. bluechip index hovers just below its recent record high amid caution ahead of U.S. inflation data on Wednesday. Weaker data could pave the way to interest-rate cuts while yet another strong set of data would suggests rate cuts remain some way off. "All eyes are on Wednesday's US CPI data to see if upside inflation surprises in Q1 were temporary or a concerning trend," IG analysts write. Telecoms company Vodafone and gambling company Flutter will be watched after earnings updates, as well as miner Anglo American after it announced plans to split up units.
