► Episode Notes:
What did Steve W buy this week? Find out on this week’s PlayingFTSE Show! Lots to talk about in the last week before the UK Budget. It’s a busy show with five bits of quickfire news and four longer pieces to get stuck into. This week’s quick stocks are a real mixed bag. Steve D has Barclays, Starbucks, and Renishaw – one up, one down, and one not really anywhere, but is any of them worth a closer look? Steve W has been looking at shares in Unilever and Union Pacific. The second one fell after earnings, but he’s got his eye on a special situation coming down the tracks with the first. The Tesla share price climbed a staggering 22% after its latest earnings update. Steve W wants to know why and has been looking into the report. As always, there are two bits – what the company has done and what it’s going to do. And there’s one thing in particular that Steve thinks the business deserves a lot of credit for… Bloomsbury stock seems to keep going from strength to strength. And the latest trading update was no exception, with strong growth way ahead of expectations. There could well be more to come from this one with accolades coming in from all sides and another six Sarah J. Mass titles in the pipeline. No wonder Steve D’s feeling good about things. It’s been a very mixed week for the Lloyds share price. Things looked ok in midweek as the company’s earnings report came in ok (though less spectacular than Barclays or NatWest). Since then, though, there’s real pressure on as a ruling against Close Brothers has raised questions about car loan sales. But is the stock falling 8% in a day a buying opportunity? Enphase shares have had a difficult week after a tough earnings report. At one point, the stock fell 15% as the market took badly to its latest update. The company has a strong position in an industry that looks important, though. And with lower interest rates and a potentially cold winter on the way, is it just a matter of time? Only on this week’s PlayingFTSE Podcast!
