  • FTSE 100 dips as M&S beats forecasts and UK inflation eases
    May 20, 2026, 4:57 AM EDT. European stocks opened lower on Monday with the FTSE 100 pressured after UK inflation data suggested easing price pressures. Marks & Spencer shares rose 1.5% following a stronger-than-expected Q4, boosted by clothing and food sales growth. Despite exceeding adjusted profit before tax (PBT) forecasts of £671.4 million, M&S provided vague guidance for 2027 profit growth, prompting analysts to anticipate slight downgrades. Credit reference firm Experian fell 5.4% despite record results and a $1 billion buyback, as growth forecasts were seen as cautious amid geopolitical uncertainties. Meanwhile, Severn Trent surged 2.3% after raising its 2028 earnings per share forecast and increasing dividends. The UK's Consumer Price Index decline signals the Bank of England is unlikely to raise interest rates in June, tempering market expectations.
