26 February 2026

Yet another day – yet another record high for the FTSE 100 Index which closed at 10,806.41 last night.  And it has continued to move higher again today.  It stands at 10,820 at lunchtime with the rise led by Howden JoineryLondon Stock Exchange and Rolls Royce all of whom have reported results today.  One feature of these is that whilst the results are all very good, showing impressive growth over the previous year, the shares all stand on very high ratings and we would question whether these are sustainable over the medium term.
