Predicted for 31. December 2026
·
Based on: Speculative
Open short-term prediction (FTSE 100 closes below 10,200 on October 8, 2026) implies current index level in the range 9,800–10,150. A year-end close above 10,500 corresponds to a rise of approximately +4–7% from the current level — historically conservative, but facing headwinds. Supporting: UK Services PMI September 2026 >51.5 (open), GBP/USD currently ~1.30 (open prediction), BoE rate at 3.75% (further rate cut cycle possible Q4 2026/Q1 2027). Dampening: UK Autumn Budget October 28 (CGT increase to ≥30% open — weighs on British investment sentiment), FTSE 100 energy-heavy (Brent open at >$99, but volatile oil picture), global 10Y yield tensions (US 5.28%). Historically the FTSE 100 exhibits a 'Santa Rally' tendency in Q4. No direct Polymarket/Metaculus markets for FTSE 100 year-end 2026 identified.

Take-Two Interactive reports Q2 FY2027 (July–September 2026) results on November 9 after market close. Estimated analyst consensus: approx. -$0.45 EPS (heavy investment cycle around GTA VI and other AAA titles). TTWO has beaten consensus in 6 of the last 8 quarters; strong Recurrent Consumer Spending base (mobile, NBA 2K, GTA Online) consistently delivers positive surprises on cost discipline. Report date confirmed by TipRanks Earnings Calendar (as of Nov 8, 2026). Verification by TTWO Investor Relations or Bloomberg by November 10, 2026, 10:00 ET.

Constellation Energy reports Q3-FY2026 tomorrow (November 9, 2026) before market open. TradingView and Gurufocus put the EPS consensus at $3.90/share, with revenue consensus at $9.23B. CEG has beaten estimates in 7 of the last 8 quarters — an 87.5% historical beat rate. Driver: Structurally rising nuclear power demand for AI data centers (e.g., Microsoft contracts) boosts reactor utilization and secures stable cash flows. Risk: Stock fell ~9% post-midterm results, reflecting repriced regulatory uncertainty that could overshadow near-term operational strength. Strong fundamentals and consistent beat history nevertheless support another consensus beat.

Walmart has beaten EPS estimates for four consecutive quarters. The official consensus is $0.64/share — identical to the top of management guidance ($0.62–$0.64). Analysts average $0.72 (range $0.70–$0.73), anticipating another structural beat. Drivers: Robust US consumer (October CPI ~3.5–3.7%; September retail sales +0.8% MoM), ongoing grocery market share gains, and strong e-commerce and advertising growth. Risk: Management lowered full-year guidance after Q2; macro headwinds from elevated prices could compress volume mixes. The consistent beat history and structural tailwinds prevail.
