Top FTSE 100 Index shares to watch next week: Airtel, BT Group, Compass Group

The article highlights three FTSE 100 names to watch next week: Airtel Africa, BT Group and Compass Group. Airtel Africa is in focus because it is preparing an Airtel Money IPO later this year, with estimates putting the business at around $10 billion and citing more than 54 million customers and $1.35 billion in revenue last year. BT Group will publish a Q1 trading statement that could gauge progress on its turnaround, with analysts expecting Q1’27 revenue of £4.7 billion and EBITDA of £2.029 billion; investors are watching subscriber losses, Openreach performance and cost cuts. Compass Group will release earnings on July 21, following a prior half-year report showing 9% revenue growth and 12% operating profit growth. Overall, the piece frames these catalysts as potential drivers of share-price moves in a subdued FTSE 100 market.
