The FTSE 100 Index continued its rally this week and was hovering near its all-time high as market participants reacted to the key earnings by some American companies and Lloyds Bank. <\/p>\n

It was trading at \u00a310,170, a few points below the all-time high of \u00a310,240. This article explores some of the top Footsie companies to watch next week.<\/p>\n

BT Group (BT.A) and Vodafone (VOD) to release earnings <\/h2>\n

British telecom stocks like BT Group and Vodafone will be in the spotlight as they publish their trading statements on Thursday next week. <\/p>\n

These earnings come as the two giants continued to diverge. BT Group stock has retreated by over 12% from its highest level in 2025, while Vodafone has jumped by over 60% in the last 12 months. Vodafone is trading at its highest level since 2018.<\/p>\n

BT Group stock has underperformed<\/a> the market because of its struggling business-focused segment, whose revenue has continued falling. Also, the company\u2019s broadband business continues to lose thousands of customers a month.<\/p>\n

Vodafone, on the other hand, is doing relatively well now that its German business has returned to growth and its UK business is improving following the Three acquisition.<\/p>\n

Shell (SHEL)<\/h2>\n

Shell is another top FTSE 100 company to watch next week as it released its financial results. These results come as the stock is hovering near its all-time high. It has jumped by nearly 10% from its lowest level this month.<\/p>\n

Shell and other energy companies are benefiting from the ongoing crude oil price rally<\/a> because of rising tensions in the Middle East now that Trump has sent a large armada to the region and Iran has warned of a prolonged fight.<\/p>\n

The most recent results showed that Shell announced a new $3.5 billion share buyback program as its adjusted earnings rose to $5.4 billion and its capital expenditure dropped to $4.9 billion. Its net debt dropped to $41.2 billion during the quarter.<\/p>\n

Entain (ENT)<\/h2>\n

Entain, the parent company of Ladbrokes, Coral, BetMGM, Bwin, and Eurobet will be another top FTSE 100 Index company to watch next week as it releases its results.<\/p>\n

These numbers come at a time when the stock has crashed to 620p, its lowest level since May 1 last year and 40% below its all-time high. Other similar stocks have also plunged, with Flutter Entertainment moving to $168 in New York, down from $313 in August last year.<\/p>\n

DraftKings stock price has crashed to $29 from last year’s high of $53.47, while Sportradar has slipped to $18.48 from a high of $32.2 in August. <\/p>\n

The most recent results showed that Entain\u2019s Net Gaming Revenue (NGR) rose by 6% in the third quarter, with the full year revenue expected to grow by 7%.<\/p>\n

GlaxoSmithKline (GSK)<\/h2>\n

GSK is another top FTSE 100 stock to watch next week. It has jumped by 53% from its lowest level in 2024 and its business continues to do well.<\/p>\n

The company recently issued its pre-announcement earlier this year, meaning that the final numbers will not have a major impact on the stock.<\/p>\n

Its results showed that its turnover will be an increase of between 6% and 7%, while its core operating profit will be between 9% and 11%.<\/p>\n

The announcement came after the company reached a deal with the Trump administration to lower drug prices and plans to invest $30 billion in R&D in the US.<\/p>\n

Some of the other top FTSE 100 shares to watch next week will be Unilever, Beazley, DCC, and Compass Group.<\/p>\n
