Jun 5, 2025 12:31 AM

June 5 (Reuters) - Britain's FTSE 100 index is

seen opening lower on Thursday, with futures down 0.09%.

* WIZZ AIR ( WZZAF ): Budget carrier Wizz Air ( WZZAF ) on Thursday

reported an annual operating profit that fell short of analysts'

expectations, as capacity constraints due to grounded planes and

stubbornly high costs continued to weigh on performance.

* DR MARTENS ( DOCMF ): British bootmaker Dr Martens ( DOCMF ) said on

Thursday it will reduce discounts in the Americas and EMEA

regions in the current financial year and expects adjusted

pre-tax profit to be in line with market expectations.

* MITIE ( MITFF ): British outsourcer Mitie Group ( MITFF ) has agreed

to buy smaller peer Marlowe for about 366 million

pounds ($496 million) in a cash-and-stock deal, the companies

said in Thursday.

* WISE: Money transfer company Wise on Thursday

said it intends to move its primary listing to the U.S. from

London, the latest British company to do so.

* FEVERTREE: Tonic maker Fevertree Drinks ( FQVTF ) said on

Thursday it would equally split costs of the 10% tariff

imposition on the UK imports to the U.S. with brewer Molson

Coors ( TAP/A ).

* FCA: Britain's Financial Conduct Authority on Thursday set

out the considerations for a compensation scheme for customers

affected by mis-sold car finance schemes, in what could become

the country's next multibillion-pound consumer finance scandal.

* COMMODITIES: Oil edged lower, gold prices were little

changed, and London copper prices inched up on Thursday.

* EX-DIVS: Haleon, Legal & General Group,

and Centrica ( CPYYF ) will trade without entitlement to its

latest dividend pay-out on Thursday.
