Playing FTSE Vodafone & 3 To Merge, AI, Adobe and UK Fintechs Up To No Good
► Episode Notes:
The indices are up this week, but whose portfolio is down? Find out on this week’s PlayingFTSE Podcast!
Paul, Steve, and Steve are in the house for this week’s show. But blink and you might miss them, because Paul is a busy fella these days!
Steve and Steve are starting off with the latest from Vodafone. The FTSE 100 laggard has agreed to merge its UK operations with Three, which has Steve W thinking about whether the stock should be on his watch list.
Next it’s Adobe – the US tech giant released earnings this week and it’s just quietly doing its thing. As the company moves forward, innovates, and grows, does it have a place in Steve D’s portfolio?
Sticking with tech, it’s on to AI. Goldman Sachs insist there’s no bubble here, but Steve has other ideas… but he also has a stock that might be worth a look for investors wanting to profit from the rise of the machines.
And we’re finishing with the UK fintech space. Revolut, Freetrade, and Trading212 all have news to share, but is there anything positive for any of them?
All on this week’s PlayingFTSE Show!
