In a week where the Trump rally started to unwind and the indexes are down, Steve and Steve have had contrasting fortunes. Who’s been outperforming everything (for once)? There’s a lot in this week’s quick news section. Steve W has been looking at a mixed report from B&M, a decent one from Tencent, and news of a change in the UK pension industry. Steve D has news from Disney, Nubank, and The Trade Desk. Positive reports have stocks moving higher, but is now the time to be buying into any of them? We’ve said before that Netflix is the last subscription that people seem to want to cut. But Spotify might have something to say about that. The company’s latest earnings report looks strong, with plenty of scope for earnings growth as profits start to come through. Steve D sold this a lot lower – is it time to come back to it? Croda International continues to fall with the news of RFK Jr.’s appointment as health minister. But trading at metrics not seen since 08/09, is it finally in buying range? That’s the question Steve W has been considering. The latest earnings report was quite positive, but the market seems to have shrugged that off and the stock is back down again. Shopify’s share price has been all over the shop, but its business is going well. Profits are increasing rapidly, but there’s revenue growth as well for investors to consider. The stock might look expensive at first sight, but it’s a long way from where it was five years ago. Time for Steve or Steve to take a closer look?

The big news from this week is the US election. But while that’s been moving markets, there have been some interesting moves from individual stocks doing their own thing as well. The FTSE 100 fell and the S&P 500 climbed. And – as usual – the Steves managed somewhere in between. There’s a lot to get through in quickfire news this week. Steve W has two FTSE 100 stocks that he’s starting to rethink his views on from the last month or so. Steve D has been looking at Dutch Brothers, Toast, and Adyen. All three are growing, but which does the stock market like the best? Alexander wept when we had no more worlds left to conquer. But Mastercard somehow still has some more – the company’s slogan used to be ‘accepted everywhere’ but it still isn’t. That’s a good thing, though, since it means there’s more to come in terms of growth. So will either Steve or Steve finally do the decent thing and buy the stock? Palantir is a stock that we’ve stoically avoided on the show. No longer – Steve W thinks the company has got to the point where it has become too interesting for him to ignore. The business has moved on from scoring government contracts and started on corporate America. But Steve D is still not quite sure what the business actually does… Wise isn’t in the FTSE 100 or the FTSE 250, but it’s one investors should have on their radars. The payment company is growing, making more money, and widening its moat. Despite this, the stock is still well down from where it was at IPO. So is Steve D – who owns it – looking to add to his position, or even double it? Only on this week’s PlayingFTSE Podcast! ► Support the show: Appreciate the show and want to offer your support?

It’s been the kind of week where everything has been happening. And somehow the Steves are going to try and fit it into one show. In quickfire news, we’ve got Big Tech and fast food. There’s also PayPal, which is neither and has been seeing slowing revenue growth for the last few years. Steve D has the latest news from Meta and Four Corners Property Trust. And Steve W has been looking at Microsoft and McDonald’s – who are the winners and who are the losers? The Budget caused some interesting waves in the UK stock market. Entain shares soared as the chancellor held off increasing taxes on betting companies, but not everyone was so lucky. Raising £40bn in taxes was always going to be a challenge. But what does Steve D think will happen next and who does Steve W think came off worst from the announcement? Amazon is a stock that both Steves own and the latest earnings report is promising. Revenue growth of 11% masks bigger profitability gains as advertising and AWS came in strong. The stock climbed after the news, but it’s worth investors keeping a close eye on the free cash flow metrics. They’re impressive, but are they everything that they seem? Apple shares fell after the Q3 earnings report – but not by much. Steve W has been looking at this one and thinks it was relatively encouraging, with strong growth in the services division. Sales in China are still struggling and a $10bn tax bill is hardly insignificant. But is the return to growth for iPhone sales a sign that things will be positive in the final quarter of 2024? Google’s parent company Alphabet has been trailing the rest of the Magnificent Seven – from a share price perspective at least. But the stock moved higher after this week’s earnings. It’s easy to see why as well. Strong growth in the cloud was accompanied by an impressive valuation metric for Waymo, but what caught Steve D’s eye? All of the big oil companies reported earnings this week, but the one that stands out from a valuation perspective is BP. And profits hit their lowest levels since 2024. A 6% dividend, combined with a new focus on core competencies appeals to Steve W. But is it enough to get the stock onto his buying list?

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?

Earnings season is in full swing, but it’s not just the US that the Steves have been looking at. There’s news from the UK and Europe as well to pay attention to. In quickfire news, Steve D has updates from Prologis and Money Supermarket. One is a big REIT getting the job done and the other is just waiting to come to life. Still. Steve W’s contributions this week are CSX and Primary Health Properties. The former is falling after earnings and the other is going nowhere slowly after a capital markets day. Shares in ASML fell significantly after the latest earnings update. The main cause for concern is a decline in the number of net bookings, but Steve D is a buyer of the weakness in the stock. The business has been seeing a little bit of a drop off during a more cautious period for its customers. But reports of the death of AI seem to be greatly exaggerated for this company. Netflix stock jumped 10% after its latest earnings update. And while margins are encouraging, Steve W thinks it’s to do with strong revenue growth after a steady decline since 2019. On top of this, the sales growth is encouraging at a time when consumer spending is weakening elsewhere. So could Netflix be something people trade down – rather than up – to? The latest update from LVMH has been relatively disappointing. The company had been fairly resilient against lower consumer spending, but that’s come apart lately. Steve D has the latest news – and Diageo shareholders might also want to take note. But a family business with a strong track record could be a good choice for the long term. After a profits warning last month, Rentokil’s Q3 trading update surprised investors by not being terrible. The non-US part of the business has actually been growing quite well. The company is focusing on its integration plans for Q4 to get the US division functioning. So is the wait finally over for shareholders who have been looking for results since 2022?

Find out on this week’s PlayingFTSE Show! It’s been a bumpy week for the FTSE 100’s miners, but the S&P 500’s big tech firms have done relatively well. And Steve and Steve have all the latest news. There’s a lot to get through in quickfire news. Steve W has been looking at Endeavour Mining’s struggles in Burkina Faso and Vistry, which has fallen 35% in a day after a costing error. Steve D has been looking at everything from the sublime to the ridiculous. Monzo’s latest valuation, AMD’s latest chip, and Aston Martin’s latest cash burn have all been on his radar. Like most FTSE 100 miners, Rio Tinto has seen its shares fall this week on disappointing news about China’s stimulus. But a smart acquisition has caught Steve W’s attention. The company is buying Arcadium Lithium – seizing the moment to snag the company while its stock is down. But Steve D has some issues for investors to consider about the takeover. The US is considering ordering Alphabet to break up. Steve D owns the stock and he has a lot of questions: Why? When? And would it be a benefit to shareholders? Alphabet shares trade at a lower P/E multiple than the rest of the Magnificent Seven. But who does Steve W think would benefit from a breakup of Google’s monopoly on search? Anglo American is attempting to shift its focus from consumer-driven commodities to renewable energy metals. And it’s doing this by divesting its unfashionable operations. Steve W thinks there could be a margin of safety in the resulting copper and iron ore divisions. But Steve D knows mining better than most people, so does this catch his attention?

Find out on this week’s PlayingFTSE Show! It’s the end of Q3 and Steve and Steve are getting ready to run through their portfolio changes. There’s lots to talk about along with some news from a UK growth stock. In quickfire news, Steve W has been looking at a pair of US stocks that have both been falling. Nike is getting ready for a new CEO and Tesla is getting ready for the robotaxi launch. Steve D has been investigating Humana, which fell over 20% on news its policies have been downgraded. And he’d also like you to know you can update your will for free this month… The last three months have been eventful for Steve W. He’s been selling Apple out of his ISA, but he insists that it isn’t just to be like Warren Buffett. In another move that in no way resembles Berkshire Hathaway, he’s also bought some US railroads. But has he figured out what to do with Southern Copper yet? Steve D has sold some stocks and bought others over the last quarter. D.R. Horton makes way and so does Kering. But the interesting question is what to do with £4,000 in cash. One possibility is Disney, which is just outside the top 4 in Steve’s portfolio at the moment. But could a better opportunity be just around the corner? Greggs shares are down this week and it’s hard to see why at first sight. The company reported solid increases, but the growth rate is slowing. Steve W’s been having a look at the company’s ambitions for an increased store count and what happens when it reaches maturity. Meanwhile, Steve D is eyeing US expansion… Only on this week’s PlayingFTSE Podcast! ► Support the show: Appreciate the show and want to offer your support?

Find out on this week’s PlayingFTSE Podcast! It’s a busy busy show this week. There’s a lot to get through before the end of Q3 and Steve and Steve are ready to go. In quickfire news this week, we’ve got three stocks and some information on UK banks. Halma and Diageo both issued trading updates this week, but was either any good? Meanwhile, iPhone 16 sales seem to be set to come in lower than the previous model. But at least there’s some good news – banks now have to refund fraud more quickly! There’s been some sobering news from the UK pension scene recently. People aren’t saving enough, and they’re drawing down their savings early. It’s not easy putting money aside with the cost of living going up. But Steve D has some ideas that people might think about if they’re looking over their pensions this weekend. Card Factory is a new one for the show, though friend of the show JKR likes it. Steve W’s been taking a look as the stock fell 21% this week. Inflation has been cutting into profits. But should investors be surprised after the guidance in the annual report just a few months ago? Micron was a very popular stock a few years ago. Superinvestors were crawling all over the memory chip company, but things have gone quieter later. Steve D’s been taking a look after the stock popped 14% this week. But is now the time to buy it – and if not, then when? Steve W liked the look of A.G. Barr back in July. The stock climbed after that, but it’s fallen back to below where it was before. Given this, is it a second chance at a stock that got away? Or is the new CEO a sign that things are going in a different direction to the one that Steve was expecting?
