Antofagasta, one of the world's largest copper producer, posted 1H results: "Revenue for the first half of 2020 was $2,139 million, 15.3% lower than the same period in 2019 mainly as a result of lower realised copper prices and sales volumes, partially offset by the increase in the realised gold price. (...) EBITDA was $1,013 million, $293 million lower. (...) Earnings per share including exceptional items fell from 30.7 cents per share to 13.7 cents per share. (...) Exceptional after-tax loss of approximately $61 million with an impact on attributable net earnings of $40 million as a result of the impairment of an indirect 40% interest in the Hornitos coal fired power station prior to its final disposal in 2021. (...) The Board has declared an interim ordinary interim dividend of 6.2 cents per share."
the share is trading within an ascending channel drawn since June. Moreover, the 20-DMA plays its support role. Above 1071.5p look for 1193.5p and 1282p in extension.

Frasers Group, a retail group, announced full-year results: "Group revenue increased by 6.9% to £3,957.4m in the year. (...) Group underlying EBITDA for the year was up 5.0% to £302.1m (FY19: £287.8m). (...) Group underlying profit before tax decreased 18.1% to £117.4m (FY19: £143.3m), largely due to the effects of Covid-19 including the closure of retail stores and associated provisioning and depreciation and amortisation charges. Underlying basic EPS for the year decreased by 2.3% to 17.2p (FY19: 17.6p). (...) The Board has decided not to pay a dividend in relation to FY20."
John Laing Group, an infrastructure investment group, published 1H results: "During the first half, NAV reduced from £1,658 million at 31 December 2019 to £1,525 million at 30 June 2020. And NAV per share reduced from 337 pence to 309 pence, a reduction of 6% before dividends paid (equivalent to a decline of 10% on a constant currency basis). (...) We are declaring an interim dividend of 1.88 pence per share, representing a year-on-year increase of 2.2%."
