Chris Akers unpacks the latest from equipment rental company Ashtead (AHT). The figures slightly underwhelmed the market, but the biggest factor affecting the business was the announcement that it’s moving its listing to the US.

Onto our latest cover feature on behavioural psychology and investing. Alex Newman lays out his intention with the piece, as well as the importance of recognising what impact our biases have on our investment decisions.

It’s then on to the plastics business Victrex (VCT) which saw its shares shoot up recently. Julian Hofmann looks at the causes of this and Alex returns to touch on the bid for Aim-traded fintech firm Equals (EQLS).
