► Episode Notes:
Who placed their first out-of-hours trade this week? Find out on this week’s PlayingFTSE Show!
Steve and Steve have a mixed bag to discuss this week. There are earnings, stocks, and new products to discuss!
Jim Simons – the best in the business to do it – died this week. Steve and Steve reflect on someone who generated better returns in a bad year than either of them does in a good year..
Then it’s on to Disney. The stock didn’t take hugely well to the company’s earnings – but the report wasn’t all that bad and a lot of the negative news was already known about.
The upcoming release list from Disney looks solid, rather than spectacular, with a number of familiar names getting another go around. Is this a sign or strong intangibles, or underinvestment in growth and innovation?
Steve W has been looking at Greggs – a favourite of Steve D. With a plausible growth progression to 3,000 UK stores, it looks like there’s still more to come.
A P/E ratio of 20 makes things look a little expensive, though. But could this be a stock that Paul would have gone for if he hadn’t been around.
Progyny has had a tougher week, falling sharply after its latest earnings report. But has Steve D been taking advantage of a potential buying opportunity?
With the cost of living high at the moment, there’s been a little bit of a falling off in terms of demand, as people put off starting families. But Steve W thinks this won’t last forever.
We haven’t talked about Porvair much on the show. Steve W thinks this is a mistake and wants to take a closer look at the UK small cap filtration company.
With a strong moat and a dominant position in some niche markets, there’s enough to like. But is the enormous focus on ESG in its investor communications a red flag?
AirBnB comes with some highly attractive characteristics. And while the underlying business looks very strong, Steve and Steve have different ideas for the company’s take rate.
There’s a lot of negative sentiment around the stock and the company. But is this an opportunity?
