In today’s podcast the team discusses the week’s updates including strong results from high-street favourite Marks & Spencer (LON:MKS), driven by the success of its food business, and the not so stellar results from Primark owner Associated British Foods (LON:ABF).
James also flags the strategic changes afoot at BlackRock Greater Europe (LON:BRGE) to boost the trust’s investment appeal, and recaps his and Steve’s conversation with Isaac Thong of Aberdeen Asian Income (LON:AAIF) on growth and income opportunities in Far Eastern markets.
In technology, Steve reveals why Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) shares dipped despite strong-looking results, and celebrates blockbuster results from chipmaker AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) and server firm Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:SMCI). Meanwhile, Ian flags the latest FactSet research suggesting ‘Mag 7’ earnings growth is now below that of the other 493 stocks in the S&P 500 index.
Looking ahead to next week, James singles out UK luxury stocks Burberry (LON:BRBY) and Watches of Switzerland (LON:WOSG), plus fashion footwear maker Doc Martens (LON:DOCS), while for Steve the focus is on cloud infrastructure firm Coreweave (NASDAQ:CRWV) which has seen concerns mount over its financing.
