Alongside the outflows from local funds, they piled more than £25 billion into foreign equity baskets, said the note, citing data from The Investment Association through May.

What to Watch Ahead of DoorDash Q2 Earnings
DoorDash (NASDAQ:DASH) reports Q2 2025 results after the bell on August 6. Analysts expect $0.44 in EPS on $3.2 billion in revenue, a 20% top-line growth. The stock is up 53% year-to-date and 122% over the past 12 months, recently hitting all-time highs as investors price in margin expansion and platform monetization. The call will spotlight profitability and segment performance. In Q1, DoorDash posted positive adjusted EBITDA and improving contribution margins across U.S. and international markets. Analysts will watch whether new growth areas such as ads, DashPass subscriptions, and logistics infrastructure are contributing meaningfully to cash flow, without pressuring unit economics. Updates on retention, order frequency, and cost control will be central to gauging sustainability. Commentary on the integration of Deliveroo, which DoorDash recently acquired, will also be closely watched. Investors will assess how the acquisition affects DoorDash's international positioning, cost structure, and competitive leverage in key European markets. With sentiment bullish and valuation stretched, Q2 must validate that DoorDash's scale benefits, diversified offerings, and disciplined execution can hold up even if consumer delivery behavior normalizes.

As Global Demand Shifts, Airbnb Faces a New Growth Test
Airbnb (NASDAQ:ABNB) reports Q2 2025 results after the bell on August 6. Analysts expect EPS of $0.94 on approximately $3.0 billion in revenue. The stock is down 1% year-to-date and trades 12% below its October 2021 IPO, reflecting tepid investor enthusiasm despite solid unit trends. Investor focus will be on Nights & Experiences metrics, average daily rate (ADR) performance, and fee mix, especially as city-center bookings recover. In Q1, nights booked rose 8% YoY, though ADR growth showed signs of slowing, particularly in major markets. Airbnb's mix shift toward app-based bookings continued, with mobile now accounting for 58% of nights booked, up from 54% a year ago. Investors will look for both volume and pricing elasticity in Q2, particularly across international segments where FX headwinds have weighed on revenue. Macro pressures remain, but Airbnb is pushing ahead with its next phase. Management recently highlighted efforts to grow beyond core accommodations, with a focus on core UX, longer stays, and better tools for group travel, strategic bets aimed at boosting loyalty and spend per user. Q2 results will need to show that these initiatives can support growth even as near-term volume slows. Fee structure and host mix also matter. With valuation resting on Airbnb's ability to deliver sustained bottom?line leverage, even as travel demand stabilizes, Q2 commentary needs to deliver clearer direction on nights, ADR, and fee mix trends to satisfy investor expectations.
