European markets were cautiously higher Thursday as investors look ahead to key inflation reports in both the U.S. and Europe.
British health-care firm Haleon topped Stoxx 600 gains in early trade, up 7.8% after reporting full-year revenue growth of 4.1%, and operating profit growth of 9.4%. The company said it expected its dividend to grow at least in line with adjusted earnings, as it flagged that the operating environment would remain challenging in 2024.
Howden Joinery was another top performer, also up nearly 8%, on strong full-year results showing 30.8% operating profit growth. German manufacturer Aixtron meanwhile slid 13.7% despite beating consensus expectations on fourth-quarter revenue and meeting growth guidance for the full year, as it said it expected to grow revenue and profit in the year ahead. — Jenni Reid
