Expects a roughly $1 billion second-quarter impairment charge and lower upstream production due to seasonal maintenance and Middle East disruption. However, the oil major says higher oil and gas prices and stronger refining margins should provide a significant earnings boost across its businesses, while quarter-end net debt is expected to fall to $22 billion-$23 billion from $25.3 billion. Boosting oil stocks on Tuesday, Brent crude oil was trading at $86.46 a barrel on Tuesday morning, up from $79.42 at the time of the London equity market close on Monday, amid exchanges of military strikes by the US and Iran. ---------- Pearson PLC, down 3.2% at 1,276.50 pence, 12-month range 874.80p-1,318.00p. JPMorgan downgrades the education publisher to ’neutral’ from ’overweight’, trimming its price target to 1,420p from 1,430p. The broker says Pearson’s strong share price performance has narrowed upside potential, despite remaining confident the company can deliver its guidance for mid-single-digit growth and margin expansion. JPMorgan adds it now sees better value elsewhere, while noting Pearson’s AI opportunities and long-term investment case remain intact. ---------- Genus PLC, up 4.8% at 2,132.00 pence, 12-month range 1,943.00p-3,228.80p. Expects annual adjusted pretax profit of around £98 million, ahead of market consensus of £95.5 million, after stronger-than-expected second-half trading. Says PIC delivers strong growth in Asia and Latin America, offsetting weaker North American demand, while ABS posts double-digit profit growth despite softer dairy markets. Adds free cash flow generation is strong and the balance sheet is strengthened by around £111 million of proceeds from its Chinese porcine joint venture. ---------- Atalaya Mining Copper SA, up 4.1% at 827.50 pence, 12-month range 440.50p-1,094.00p. Reports second-quarter copper production of 13,493 tonnes, up from 13,175 tonnes a year ago and 9,939 tonnes in the first quarter, as grades improved sequentially and mill performance remained strong. Reiterates 2026 production guidance of 50,000 to 54,000 tonnes, expecting output towards the lower end of the range, citing firm copper prices, and guides silver production of 900,000 to 1.1 million ounces. ---------- IntegraFin Holdings PLC, down 4.2% at 363.75 pence, 12-month range 293.00p-397.69p. Reports funds under direction on its Transact platform rise 23% year-on-year to a record £85.5 billion, supported by positive market movements and a sixth consecutive quarter of net inflows above £1 billion. Third-quarter net inflows slow to £1.01 billion from £1.33 billion in the prior quarter, though the firm adds more than 2,000 net new clients and says transfers from other providers remain strong. IntegraFin reiterates its cost guidance, expecting underlying administrative expense growth of around 3% in the current and next financial years. ---------- Copyright 2026 Alliance News Ltd.
