► Episode Notes:

Who do both Steves have in their Fantasy Football teams? Find out on this week’s PlayingFTSE Show!

After a promising week for share prices, Steve and Steve are looking back on what’s been happening. Not inflation, though – that might have been positive, but nobody cares.

In our quickfire round this week, we’re looking at some old favourites that we haven’t thought about recently and some new ideas. We’re off to Brazil, Singapore, the US, and the UK.

Synthomer is very much in wait-and-see mode, while Warren Buffett’s favourite Brazilian fintech Nubank is surging ahead. Walmart is a bit more ponderous and Sea Limited has hit the buffers.

We’re not just about stocks on the PlayingFTSE Show and Steve D’s seen an interesting opportunity to get 10% on cash. There isn’t really much of a catch, either, £250 per month and 10% per year.

Steve W is quite taken with the product and is about to sign up. But don’t miss a really excellent analysis of why this works for all parties from Steve D along the way.

Adyen – Steve D’s favourite fintech – has had ‘one of those 20% weeks’. It does that sometimes, but this one makes a lot of sense after some impressive numbers as the company is firing on all cylinders.

Steve W’s particularly impressed at the context around those numbers – with everyone else reporting caution, higher volumes means market share gains. But how much of an opportunity is India going forward?

Admiral – one of Steve W’s favourite insurers – has seen its share price jump 9%. The UK’s underwriting champion of the world has reported higher volumes and widening margins.

That’ll work in any environment and it translates to higher dividends for investors. With the stock up 9%, though, could it still be a bargain for investors to consider?

Only on this week’s PlayingFTSE Podcast!
