► Episode Notes:
What does Steve D think Yorkshire Tea tastes like? Find out on this week’s PlayingFTSE Show!
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?
