London, January 19, 2026, 12:58 GMT — Regular session
- Shares of 4imprint slipped around 2% midway through trading, underperforming the FTSE 250.
- European stocks dip as tariff threats linked to Greenland stir volatility
- Attention turns to 4imprint’s trading update and final-results schedule set for Jan. 20
Shares of 4imprint Group (FOUR.L) dropped 1.8% to 4,350 pence by 1242 GMT on Monday, down from last Friday’s close of 4,430p. During the session, the stock swung between 4,325p and 4,415p. 1
This move matters since it comes just a day ahead of 4imprint’s update on trading and its schedule for full-year results — a key moment that could quickly shift expectations, particularly with macro uncertainties running high.
London shares dipped following U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff threat targeting Britain and seven other European countries, unless the U.S. can purchase Greenland. The FTSE 100 slid 0.6%, while the more UK-focused FTSE 250 dropped 0.9% in late morning trading, with losses hitting multiple sectors. 2
European shares slipped roughly 1% as the STOXX 600 fell, while euro zone equity volatility surged to its highest level since November. Kyle Rodda, senior financial market analyst at Capital.com, pointed to “Trump’s actions over the weekend” as a trigger for heightened geopolitical tension. He also noted that a thinner U.S. session due to the holiday could exaggerate price swings. 3
Across wider markets, investors moved toward safe havens amid mounting concerns over tariff risks. George Lagarias, chief economist at Forvis Mazars, noted, “It’s highly likely that the White House will use the threat of tariffs consistently.” 4
4imprint’s next major event is Tuesday’s “Trading Update and Notice of Final Results,” listed on its financial calendar. Investors will watch closely for clues on demand heading into the new year and whether management hints at any shift in momentum post-year-end. 5
The company specializes in direct marketing of promotional products, offering custom-printed items tailored for corporate and small-business clients. The bulk of its revenue comes from the U.S. and Canada, while operations in the UK and Ireland contribute a smaller share. 6
The set-up works both ways. If Tuesday’s update points to weaker order trends or rising costs, the stock might fall further, even if the broader market holds steady — and tariff news could keep nerves on edge.
