LONDON -- After a busy month for company results in May, with many reporting for the year or quarter ending 31 March, things are going to be a bit quieter during June. But we're still going to have some important dates for investors, and we'll keep you updated as they come along.
We have already had a quick look at three pieces of news�expected next week, so here's a glance at some key dates for the rest of the coming month:
Wednesday June 12, Sainsbury
In May,�J. Sainsbury� (LSE: SBRY ) reported full-year results for the year to 16 March, and they looked good. Telling us of "significant market outperformance," the supermarket chain reported a 6.2% rise in underlying pre-tax profit to 756 million pounds, after sales grew by 4.6%, to 25.6 billion pounds. With performance like this, it's no wonder Sainsbury's shares are up 30% over the past 12 months, to 377 pence.
The results extended a remarkable run to 33 straight quarters, in which Sainsbury's has lifted its like-for-like sales -- will that continue on to 34? We should know on 12 June, when we get a first-quarter trading update. Analysts are positive about the full year, forecasting a 6% rise in earnings per share.
