► Episode Notes:

When is a UK stock not a UK stock? Find out on this week’s PlayingFTSE Show!

On this week’s show, we’ve got a load of earnings… and some chatter about the weather. And we’ve got some macro news and views, too.

We’re starting things off with a discussion around the stock market. With the S&P 500 up over 9% this year, Steve W’s been looking at what’s been doing well and why.

Then it’s on to Experian – our first UK stock that isn’t a UK stock because most of its business comes from the USA. With a huge moat and growth persisting through the downturn, could this be a buy?

Next is Airtel Africa – another UK stock that does most of its business elsewhere. Steve D likes this one, but is a combination of Verizon and Paypal something investors should be interested in?

After that, it’s firmly back in the UK with Forterra. Both Steves own this, but is a decline in revenue as inventories at homebuilders go high something to be concerned about?

And we’re finishing up this week with TakeTwo. The GTA business is working through an acquisition, so the numbers are a mess, but is this a good place to invest at the moment?

Only on this week’s PlayingFTSE Podcast!
