European stocks slipped on Thursday, weighed down by weak updates from companies including Dialog Semiconductor and oil major Royal Dutch Shell, Reuters reported. The pan-European STOXX 600 index dipped 0.1 percent, while the FTSEurofirst 300 index fell 0.2 percent. Dialog dropped 8 percent, among the worst-performers on the STOXX 600, after the German company cut its 2016 sales outlook, while Shell fell by 3.9 percent after it reported a profit slump. The STOXX 600 has rebounded by around 10 percent from a low point reached on June 27 after the shock Brexit vote, but it remains down by around 6 percent so far in 2016.
