Carnival Corp (CCL) — Tuesday 23 June

The cruise giant reports Q2 results with consensus pointing to revenue of $6.69 billion and earnings per share of $0.34. declining fuel prices could be an emerging tailwind, and strong forward booking data from rivals suggests demand remains resilient. Watch for any upgrade to full-year profit guidance.

Berkeley Group (BKG) — Wednesday 24 June

The premium housebuilder faces a tougher backdrop, with consensus forecasting revenue of roughly £2.29 billion (–8%) and pre-tax profit around £453 million (–14%).

The focus will be on forward sales, land-bank commentary, and whether management sees rate cuts filtering through to buyer confidence.

Halfords (HFD) — Thursday 25 June

The cycling and motoring retailer flagged earlier in June that full-year profit would land at the upper end of guidance — a reassuring signal ahead of results. Markets will want detail on the autocentres roll-out and whether consumer demand for e-bikes is recovering.
