  1. War in Iran, healthcare resurgence & Isa changes: The Companies and Markets Show

    War in Iran, healthcare resurgence & Isa changes: The Companies and Markets Show

    It’s another day chock-full of company results, albeit market attention is understandably still focused elsewhere given the events in the Middle East over the past week.  So today, we too will be discussing the implications of the US/Israel war with Iran. Mike Fahy is here to talk about energy, defence, and the implications for the UK and European economies.  After that, we turn to our big read of the week. The healthcare sector has typically been seen as a port in a storm during troubled times, and after a tough few years there had been signs of a revival even prior to the latest nerves. Julian Hofmann will dive into the detail and ask whether this momentum can continue. Finally, next week marks the publication of our annual Isa special. With big reforms on the way for these popular savings accounts, personal finance editor Holly McKechnie joins us to discuss what’s happening, as well as outlining some practical steps listeners can take to meet their savings goals.

  2. Next-gen AI stocks, FTSE 100 banks & LSEG: The Companies and Markets Show

    Next-gen AI stocks, FTSE 100 banks & LSEG: The Companies and Markets Show

    Company results season is under way. We have a mass of companies reporting over the next couple of weeks, and we will dig in to one of the highest profile businesses on the FTSE 100 later in the show. To start, though, we are looking at a lesser-known stock, albeit one whose shares have been surging higher for several years now: Lion Finance (BGEO), itself not far from FTSE 100 promotion, and which reported another set of well-received figures of its own earlier this week. Alex Newman asks whether the run can last. Then, our big read this week is all about the existential question of the day: is AI working? With investors hopes and indeed fears now seemingly pinned on the technology, Valeria Martinez is here to discuss how companies outside the tech sector are applying AI in practice, and how effectively or otherwise they are being. In our third segment we’ll look at a noted AI loser of recent months, albeit one that nonetheless put out a fairly superlative set of results this morning: London Stock Exchange (LSEG). Hugh Moorhead will take us through the risks and opportunities facing the business, and consider whether the sell-off has been overdone. Read more: Can investors ignore the FTSE 100’s next big bank?

  3. Meeting Christie Group's CEO: Lee and the IC

    Meeting Christie Group's CEO: Lee and the IC

    Christie Group has a lot going for it. Growing in several countries and an employer to around 650 people, the brokerage business is a well-respected name in multiple niche sectors. Last year sales exceeded £70mn, and management reckons operating profits of £10mn are possible. The kicker, following the disposal of several subsidiaries, is that its balance sheet is full of cash. Lord Lee of Trafford clearly agrees. In more than 80 transactions since 2002, he has amassed a 6 per cent holding across both his personal investment account and the charitable trusts he oversees. So why is the business valued at just £35mn? We put this question and many more to chief executive Dan Prickett, who has been at the company for 17 years - including the last two and a half in the top role.

    Schroders takeover, privatisation & McDonald's: The Companies and Markets Show

    After a week in which we in London were blessed with a rare day in which the sun dared to poke its head out, today we will try to shed some light of our own on the big goings on in companies and markets at the moment.  We kick off with a look at the breaking news of the day, the £10bn takeover of Schroders by US asset manager Nuveen. Chris Akers is here to discuss the deal, and the possible implications for the rest of the asset and wealth management sector, where there’s been another big deal in recent days: unlisted wealth manager Evelyn Partners bought by NatWest. We’ll also take a brief look at emerging market specialist Ashmore, which had interims out today and has rallied particularly hard of late. After that, we turn to our big read of the week, looking at the strain on public services and the consequences thereof. Mark Robinson will discuss why the private sector is playing a growing role in the provision of said services – in certain areas – and where they might be expected to take more of the slack in future. Finally, Mark will also look at US economic bellwether McDonalds, which reported some pretty good figures overnight. Is the economy firing on all cylinders, or are more people trading down when they eat out, or a bit of both? Mark will consider these factors as well as the figures themselves later on.
