It reports mixed first half results, guiding higher-than-expected full-year house volume but at a lower-than-forecast profit margin. The housebuilder says pretax profit was broadly flat at £139.9 million in the six months to January compared with £140.8 million a year prior. The full-year operating margin is forecast to be similar to the first half at around 10.5%, down from 10.9% in the prior financial year. Bellway had previously forecast a margin of 11.0%. ---------- Antofagasta PLC, down 2.2% at 3,299.5p, 12-month range 1,278.00p-4,475.00p. Miners are back in the red Tuesday after climbing on Monday following US President Donald Trump halting Iran strikes. ---------- CVS Group PLC, up 2.6% at 1,166.00 pence, 12-month range 885.00p-1,648.00p. The UK’s Competition & Markets Authority concludes its probe into vets, mandating practices to publish price lists and capping prescription fees among remedies that will take effect within a year. CVS welcomes the announcement, saying it brings certainty to the sector after ‘more than two years and a half’ of being under the microscope. ---------- Bytes Technology Group PLC, down 15% at 253.3p, 12-month range 248.60p-563.00p. Bytes hits this one year low on Tuesday. The Surrey, England-based enterprise software firm reports operating profit of £62 million for the financial year that ended February 28, from £66.4 million a year earlier. But gross profit was up 2.3% to £167 million from £163.3 million. For the 2027 financial year, Bytes expects high single-digit to low double-digit percentage growth in gross profit, with operating profit broadly flat as it absorbs £4.5 million of cost normalisation. Analysts at Peel Hunt say the guidance was ‘muted’. ---------- Copyright 2026 Alliance News Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
