ASOS reports from the retail sector this week, while delivery group Domino's Pizza also serves up its latest trading update.
Online fashion firm ASOS, which reports half-year results on Wednesday, tarnished its otherwise stellar record earlier this month with a worse-than-expected quarterly sales performance.
But ASOS insisted it remained on track to achieve annual sales of more than £1 billion for the first time a year ahead of schedule and said trading had been strong in all territories except its Rest of World region.
Domino's Pizza has set the bar high for trading this year having declared itself one of the "strongest growth stories on the UK high street" after notching up more sales records in 2013.
Its first-quarter trading update on Wednesday is likely to show more robust growth after it revealed last month that UK like-for-like sales were up by an impressive 14.6% in the first seven weeks of the current financial year.
The group took an all-time high of £14.1 million during one week in December, with established stores averaging weekly sales of £20,903.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
