Stocks to watch this week: Shell, TSMC, Levi Strauss, Vistry and Jet2

Tariffs are set to be the focus for investors in the next week, with US president Donald Trump's deadline for the resumption of sweeping duties coming up on 9 July, but there are also a number of major companies due to report. Shell (SHEL.L) will kick off the week's company reporting, with the oil major due to update on second quarter performance on Monday. Investors will be looking at TSMC's ( TSM) latest monthly sales figures, given the company is the world's largest contract chipmaker, helping to give a sense of demand in the sector. In the world of retail, investors will be keeping an eye on results from Levi Strauss (LEVI) to see how the jeans brand is navigating tariff uncertainty. Back in the UK, Vistry (VTY.L) will be in the spotlight, with investors hoping the housebuilder's troubles are behind it after issuing three profit warnings towards the end of last year. Given Jet2 (JET2.L) has already provided some guidance on performance for the year in a trading update, the focus will be on the travel company's outlook for the year ahead. Here's more on what to look out for: The share prices of FTSE 100-listed (^FTSE) companies Shell (SHEL.L) and BP (BP.L) have fluctuated in the past month thanks to big swings in oil prices, as conflict between Iran and Israel sparked concerns about disruption to supply through the Strait of Hormuz. While a ceasefire between the two countries appears to be holding, traders continue to watch developments around the issue of Iran's nuclear programme, in terms of how this impacts tensions in the Middle East. However, oil prices have steadied in the wake of the truce, with investors now focused on an expected decision to increase supply when major producers meet this weekend. The Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies, known as OPEC+, are widely expected to agree on a production increase of 411,000 barrels per day. Prior to the June spike in oil prices, fears that tariff-fuelled economic downturn could dampen demand for fuel weighed on the commodity. This has contributed to longer-term concerns about slowing demand putting pressure on companies' refining margins, which reflect the profits made from processing oil. Read more: Global economy to slow amid 'most severe trade war since 1930s', says Fitch In the first quarter, Shell (SHEL.L) posted a global indicative refining margin of $6.20 a barrel, which was up from $5.50 in the fourth quarter, but down from $12 for the same quarter last year. The Anglo-Dutch energy major reported adjusted earnings of $5.58bn (£4.09bn) for the three months to March, down 28% from $7.73bn a year earlier but ahead of the $5.09bn forecast by analysts polled by London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG.L). Despite the fall in profits, Shell (SHEL.L) announced another $3.5bn in share buybacks with the release of the results in May, which marked its 14th consecutive quarter of repurchases of at least $3bn. Meanwhile, BP (BP.L) reported a significant drop in first-quarter profit. The company reported an underlying replacement cost profit — a key metric used as a proxy for net profit — of $1.38bn (£1bn), falling short of the $1.53bn forecast by analysts polled by LSEG (LSEG.L). BP's (BP.L) weaker performance has led to speculation that the oil major has become a takeover target, with reports that Shell (SHEL.L) was in talks to make a bid on its rival. However, Shell put paid to the rumours in a statement to markets at the end of June, saying it had "no intention of making an offer for BP". Attention will now turn to Shell's (SHEL.L) second quarter update release on Monday, which should give investors an idea as to how the oil major has been performing ahead of it publishing the full results on 31 July. TSMC's ( TSM) June sales data will also give a sense of how the chipmaker has performed in the first half of the year. For May, TSMC ( TSM) posted net revenue of TWD320.52bn (£8.11bn), which was down 8.3% on the previous month but up nearly 40% on the same month last year. The chipmaker has guided to net revenue of $28.4bn to $29.2bn for the second quarter, which would be up from $25.5bn for the first quarter. TSMC ( TSM) is due to release its full second quarter results on 17 July. In a note on Thursday, Barclays (BARC.L) analysts, who have an "overweight" rating on the stock, said that they continued to see the stock as a "core holding". Read more: Whatever happened to NFTs? "Monthly sales data so far this quarter shows continued strong revenues meaning over 2/3s of quarterly guidance has already been achieved," they said. "Thus we think TMSC ( TSM) can beat its guidance for revenues and we see scope for an upgrade to FY (full year). The analysts added: "The debate we think is on 2H and whether TSMC ( TSM) is able to deliver further sequential growth or if what we believe have been pull-in benefits limit quarterly growth from here. We increase our USD revenues for 2025 and now model +33% growth yoy, and if pull in activity has been limited then we think our estimates could be conservative." Year-to-date TSMC's ( TSM) Taipei-listed shares are less than 1% in the green, as tariff-related volatility has weighed on chip stocks more broadly. Despite beating expectations in the first quarter, shares in Levi Strauss & Co (LEVI) fell after it posted its results in April, which were released just days after Trump announced sweeping tariffs on "Liberation Day". Levi Strauss (LEVI) maintained its top and bottom line guidance for the year but said this excluded the impact from the tariff announcements but added that it anticipated minimal impact to its margins for the second quarter. Read more: Stocks that are trending today Speaking to Yahoo Finance at the time, Levi Strauss (LEVI) chief financial officer Harmit Singh said the company debated lifting its full-year guidance but felt it was "prudent" to maintain its outlook, given it was early in the year and in light of the tariff announcement. Levi Strauss (LEVI) posted net revenues of $1.5bn in the first quarter, which was up 9% on an organic basis on the same period last year. Adjusted earnings per share came in at $0.38, compared with $0.25 for the first quarter of 2024. For the year, the jeans maker has guided to 3.5% to 4.5% growth in organic net revenues, while earnings per share are expected to be between $1.20 and $1.25. Shares in Vistry Group (VTY.L) are up 8% year-to-date but have failed to recover from a sharp drop towards the end of last year on the back of profit warnings by the housebuilder. While revenue for the year rose 7% to £17.2bn ($23.5bn), final profit before tax was down 35% to £263.5m. Vistry (VTY.L) is due to share a trading update on Thursday, giving investors a glimpse into what to expect from its actual half-year results in September. AJ Bell's (AJB.L) investment experts Danni Hewson and Coatsworth said: "Analysts will look to chief executive Greg Fitzgerald for reassurance that last year's problems were limited to just two of the four regional operations in the south and that they are now in hand, after a major reorganisation of management there." Read more: The most popular stocks and funds investors bought in June While they said the update is unlikely to be too detailed, areas to watch include any commentary on the housebuilder's forward order book, which stood at £4.4bn at the last count. The company's sales rate per site per week would be another area to keep an eye on, which came in at 0.59 in the first quarter. The outlook for the second half and how that is expected to contribute to full-year profits will also be in focus. Hewson and Coatsworth said current analyst consensus is looking for adjusted pre-tax profit of £270m this year. "Any sign of improved momentum in the order book and sales per outlet, as well as debt reduction, could be taken well, providing 2024's problems are indeed behind Vistry (VTY.L), and there are no more additional charges for cladding remediation, either," they said. "At least the shares are bumping around one times tangible net asset value (NAV), so value hunters have something to ponder there, given the huge derating from two times and more." Shares in Jet2 (JET2.L) surged after its full-year trading update at the end of April and have continued to climb since then, hitting an all-time high in June. For the year, Jet2 (JET2.L) said it expected profit before foreign exchange revaluation and tax to come in between £565m and £570m for the year. That excluded a £10m profit on disposal of assets primarily from our retired Boeing 757- 200 aircraft fleet. The travel company said that this would represent approximately 9% growth on profits for the previous year. Stocks: Create your watchlist and portfolio At the time, Jet2 (JET2.L) said its sale capacity for this summer was 8.3% than the previous year at 18.3 million seats, with new bases at Bournemouth and London Luton airports contributing approximately 4% of this growth. Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2 (JET2.L), said that the 2025 financial year "ended with another year of healthy profit growth, which underlines the resilience, flexibility and popularity of our product offering". "Although still very early in FY26, we are satisfied with progress for summer 2025 so far," he said. Jet2 (JET2.L) also announced plans to launch a £250m share buyback programme, in more welcome news for investors.

Could This Be the Best Reason to Buy Tesla Stock Hand Over Fist? (Hint: It's Not Robotaxis.)

Several analysts believe the humanoid robotics market could be larger than the robotaxi market. Tesla has ambitious plans for its Optimus humanoid robots. However, the company faces several challenges to achieve significant success with Optimus. These 10 stocks could mint the next wave of millionaires › Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) fans should find it easy to identify reasons to buy the stock. For one thing, its shares remain roughly 34% below the previous high. Anyone who believes in Tesla's long-term growth prospects will likely view this as a great opportunity to buy the stock at a discount. One prominent Tesla bull, Ark Invest founder and CEO Cathie Wood, thinks the autonomous ride-hailing (robotaxi) market makes the stock a fantastic investment opportunity. However, there's a good case to be made that there's an even better reason that makes Tesla a stock to buy hand over fist right now. Wood and her Ark Invest team believe the the robotaxi market could skyrocket to around $4 trillion by 2030. They look for Tesla to be the biggest winner in this market, thanks to the company's lower-cost technology and scalability. However, Ark Invest is much more optimistic about the robotaxi opportunity than most analysts. Fortune Business Insights projects that the robotaxi market could be nearly $119 billion by 2030. Market researcher Research and Markets thinks the robotaxi market could expand by a compound annual growth rate of 45.2% and hit $124.9 billion by 2034. Tesla could have an even larger opportunity. Morgan Stanley projects that the humanoid robotics market could top $5 trillion by 2050. The financial services giant thinks that the adoption of humanoid robots will accelerate in the 2030s. Citigroup analyst Wenyan Fei pegs the number at closer to $7 trillion by 2050. He and fellow analyst Rob Garlick think that humanoid robots will be especially helpful in providing home services. They envision the robots folding laundry, mowing lawns, and caring for older adults. And Tesla could be a big player in this market. Fei named Tesla's Optimus robot as "definitely one of the leaders for the market." Want an even more bullish estimate of the humanoid robotics market? Ark Invest believes the global opportunity could eventually be in the ballpark of $24 trillion. Unsurprisingly, Wood's team thinks that Tesla "could capture a significant share of this multi-trillion-dollar market." Tesla certainly has grand ambitions for Optimus. CEO Elon Musk said during the company's 2024 fourth-quarter earnings call that Optimus could eventually generate more than $10 trillion in revenue. He acknowledged that his revenue predictions "sound absolutely insane." However, Musk added that he thinks "they will prove to be accurate." If Musk's revenue estimate for Optimus is anywhere close to realistic, humanoid robots will be more important for Tesla's future than electric vehicles or robotaxis. But a lot has to happen first. Musk predicted in Tesla's 2025 Q1 earnings call that the company will produce 1 million Optimus units per year by 2030, and perhaps as early as 2029. Once that production goal is reached, he thinks the production cost for its humanoid robot will be under $20,000. While the list price will be higher than that, Optimus could be affordable for many families. Tesla plans on using Optimus extensively internally, too. Musk said in the Q1 call, "We expect to have thousands of Optimus robots working in Tesla factories by the end of this year." Is the potential for success in the humanoid robotics market the best reason to buy Tesla stock hand over fist right now? Maybe, but I think investors should be cautious. For one thing, Tesla is running into problems with its Optimus program. Milan Kovac, the senior vice president in charge of Optimus, left unexpectedly. Production has also reportedly been delayed as the result of a design change. I suspect Tesla will be able to resolve these issues. However, the bigger challenge for the company is competition. With a market opportunity this large, multiple companies are in the race. Morgan Stanley believes that China is in the driver's seat in developing humanoid robots. It's also important to remember that the huge humanoid robotics market estimates are for 25 years in the future. Investors should maintain a long-term perspective, but Optimus would need to move the needle in a significant way much sooner for it to be a major factor in buying the stock now. Still, progress in humanoid robot development is something to keep your eyes on. If Tesla can sell a flexible, multi-purpose Optimus for $30,000 or so by 2030, the company could deliver much greater growth in the next decade than many investors expect.

How to keep a workplace functioning the in the face of layoffs

A surge in layoffs during the first half of 2025 has neared record-breaking pace, with March's total alone the third highest number of single-month layoffs in history, according to outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas. That total was eclipsed only by April 2020 and May 2020 during the pandemic. The 696,309 layoffs announced through May of 2025 represent an increase of 80% over the first five months of last year and are just 65,000 short of matching 2024's total layoff numbers. The reasons for these enormous numbers are multifaceted, ranging from staffing and funding cuts by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and their ramifications to companies leaning in to automation and artificial intelligence to sluggish sales. And while the reasons may vary, business realities remain the same, even in the midst of layoffs. How can companies making cuts also keep the employees who remain productive —and retain top talent? 'The best people have other opportunities elsewhere and who wants to be on an unstable ship, right? So that's exactly the right question,' says Deborah Lovich, a Future of Work fellow at BCG Henderson Institute, Boston Consulting Group's think tank. Show compassion Lovich says that, throughout the layoffs, it's important to 'treat people who depart with dignity, humanity, support.' In addition to being the right thing to do, they may become customers or partners in the future. Finally, doing so sends a signal to those who remain. 'How you treat people in hard times is what the soul of the company is,' she says. Allison Vaillancourt, a vice president in the Organizational Effectiveness Practice at HR & benefits consultancy Segal, adds: 'Demonstrate compassion during the layoff process: People want to be part of an organization they feel good about, and they will be looking for evidence that others are being treated as kindly as possible during this difficult time.' Address the aftermath Lovich says that, as your team plans what happens after the layoffs, use the opportunity to 'add employee enjoyment of work into the criteria for reshaping the workplace.' It's a good time to streamline processes and focus on adding more of what employees enjoy in their work. Carolyn Troyan, president and CEO of HR consulting firm Leadership 360, says it's important to allow for a 'grieving period,' but to also begin addressing concerns about redesigned workflow and other issues. 'That's usually the first thing I hear from employees: 'They're just going to lay people off, and I'm going to have to take all this extra work. How am I really going to do that?'' Leaders need to ensure that their high performers know that they can come forward if they have concerns—especially when no one wants to come forward and admit that they can't do all of the work left after their teammates have been let go. Spot engagement surveys can help managers spot friction points that may indicate high-performers and other employees are unhappy. Troyan also says managers may want to look at redesigning physical space so empty workstations aren't a constant reminder of missing former co-workers. Be responsibly transparent Troyan says that it's a good idea to be transparent about the layoffs and the current employees' role in the company going forward to help them feel secure in their future roles. Managers may want to share their vision for the future, including potential career paths for high performers. Amy Mosher, chief people officer at Isolved, a provider of human capital management solutions, adds that it's important to help employees understand why they're happening. 'There are reasons why we have to make these decisions,' she says, and helping employees put them in context and realize that the decisions weren't made capriciously may not make them easier, but may help calm the concerns of the employees you wish to retain. Communicate in as many way as possible The methods by which layoffs are communicated will vary by company and situation—and larger companies may be required to give advance notice in the case of mass layoffs —but Mosher says some companies may simply send out a mass email or other communication after the fact to answer basic questions. But the communication that matters when trying to retain top performers comes from individuals, she says. She recommends 'deputizing' everyone who works in a leadership capacity in the organization to participate in keeping top performers engaged. 'Whether they're a supervisor or not, you have a lot of leaders in your organization,' Mosher says. 'Make sure that you've identified who those people are and deputize them so that they understand the why and they feel comfortable articulating it.' Make sure you involve the behind-the-scenes leaders—the administrative worker who has all of the answers or the gregarious IT worker who is the go-to person for computer issues. Engage those leaders and ensure they understand the reasons for the decisions. '[Make sure they] understand what's going on here, so that [they] can articulate it to other people at the water cooler,' she says. Identify your best people—and their managers It's a good idea to have regular discussions, perhaps quarterly, about your top talent so your management team is aware of the organization's high performers, says Troyan. 'Having some of those talent conversations as part of your operating model, you're just ready to go and have the list,' she says. However, if you don't have that list, it's a good idea to connect with your various departments and have them identify their top team members so the company can work on keeping them, she says. And one of the first things you should do with those top performers is offer reassurance, says Vaillancourt. 'Let top performers know they are highly valued and have a future with the company.' Consider offering retention bonuses to ensure your top performers know you are serious about wanting them to stay, she adds. She also advised considering the potential downsides of voluntary separation incentive programs, as they can be more attractive to top performers than to the individuals a company would like to release. Top performers may think, 'I can go anywhere, so let me get some money.' If organizations are not careful, these programs can deplete top talent.
