National Grid, car dealerships & investment trusts: The Companies and Markets Show

We begin with National Grid’s (NG) transformation plans. Jemma Slingo and Alex Newman weigh in on whether it should now be considered a growth rather than income stock, its US business and more.

It’s then onto car dealership Vertu (VTU). Mark Robinson runs through the driving factors behind Vertu’s performance, the business’ valuation and its prospects in a struggling market.

Last up, Holly McKechnie dives into the knotty issue of investment trust costs. In September HM Treasury announced it was replacing a regime in place since Britain’s time in the EU, and angst has since swelled. Find out what the Isa and pension providers are saying and what the change actually means.
