Marks & Spencer (MKS.LN): 1H Earnings
Due: Nov. 4 at 0700 GMT
Company Survey of 12 Analysts
Average Adjusted Pretax Profit: GBP285M, down 4.4% (GBP298M in 1H 2008)
Note: The fall in adjusted pretax profit comes amid difficult trading conditions and despite concerted cost savings which only partially offset like-for-like sales declines. Analysts will be hoping the results meeting will address some of the concerns from the ill-received investor day in October. (KSS)
