Rio Tinto, a giant metals miner, released a 3Q production report: "Pilbara operations produced 86.4 million tonnes (Rio Tinto share 71.4 million tonnes) in the third quarter of 2020, 1% lower than the same period of 2019, and 4% higher than the previous quarter. (...) Third quarter shipments of 82.1 million tonnes (Rio Tinto share 67.6 million tonnes) were 5% lower than the third quarter of 2019 with significant planned maintenance activity affecting the port during the period."
J D Wetherspoon, a pub company, posted full-year results: "Total sales in the financial year were £1,262.0m, a decrease of 30.6%. Like-for-like sales decreased by 29.5%, having increased by 5.9% in the first half. (...) Earnings per share, including shares held in trust by the employee share scheme, before exceptional items, were -27.6p (2019: 75.5p). (...) The board is not proposing a final dividend payment for the year."
#FRANCE#
LVMH, a luxury goods conglomerate, announced that 3Q revenue dropped 10% on year (-7% organic growth) to 11.96 billion euros and 9-month revenue was down 21% (-21% organic growth) to 30.35 billion euros. The company said 3Q sales reflected "a marked improvement in trends compared to the first half, notably a return to growth in Cognac and Fashion & Leather Goods (+12% organic growth)". It also added that "the decision to pay an interim dividend will be discussed".
Eurofins Scientific, a bioanalytical testing company, announced a ten-for-one stock split, effective upon the listing on Euronext Paris of the new shares expected to occur on November 19.
Saint-Gobain, a building materials supplier, was downgraded to "neutral" from "buy" at Goldman Sachs.

#SWEDEN#
Volvo, a vehicle manufacturer, announced that 3Q net income declined 23% on year to 5.72 billion Swedish krona and adjusted operating income dropped 34% to 7.22 billion Swedish krona on net sales of 76.85 billion Swedish krona, down 22% (-16% currency adjusted). The company said: "Towards the end of the quarter transport activity was back on roughly the same level as a year ago in most markets. This led to an improved sentiment among our customers, which is reflected in increased order intake for trucks, engines and construction equipment as well as a gradually improving service business."
From a daily point of view, the stock is trading above a rising trend line drawn since March 2020. Furthermore, the 50 DMA is playing a support role, while the Relative Strenght Index is carried by the key support at 45%. Above 165SEK, targets are set at 195SEK and 210SEK in extension.
