Warnings and downgrades put pressure on European equities
On Friday, dismal earning updates as well as a series of broker downgrades put pressure on European equities, thus leaving regional indexes on track for their second weekly decline in a row.
Market participants have been locking in revenues, shrugging off everlasting strength in economic data because euro zone earnings surge slowed versus the previous quarters and caution rallied over whether a stock market soar could continue or not.
On Friday, Elior went down 12% after Europe's number three catering group reduced its revenue guidance, pointing to the impact of Hurricane Irma.
Equities in Fresenius SE, Just Eat, Greene King, United Utilities as well as H&M all went down more than 2% following ratings downgrades from brokers.
The STOXX 600 headed south 0.2%.
As for top gainers, we should mention Vivendi, which gained 1.5%. The benchmark reversed earlier weakness because traders assessed an earnings report from the acquisitive French media conglomerate.
