What is Knowledge Transmission? Find out on this week’s PlayingFTSE Show!

It’s been quite the week in the stock market. There’s not much between the FTSE 100 and the S&P 500, but one of the Steves is there…

We’re locking in our changes to the Britbox. And there’s been a change since the recording of the show to update with.

Senior is no longer a stock in transition. As we were recording, the firm announced a takeover deal – so we didn’t manage to cover that!

One change each for the Eurobox. But can we turn around the faltering portfolio by selling a stock that’s up 100%?

Steve W’s looking to out-of-favour Wolters Kluwer. And Steve D sees Spotify at a big discount.

Shares in Gamma Communicationssruged this week. But it had nothing to do with the ceasefire between the US and Iran.

The company is in takeover talks. So Steve W is up on his position from last week, but he has a bigger problem now…

Steve D’s recently added Rubrik to his portfolio. It’s a company in a very promising industry, but the stock has been falling.

Compared to other SAAS names it looks very attractive. So why has the CFO been selling a stake in the last few days?

Unilever shares fell as the firm announced plans to sell its food division. And it’s not hard to see why.

The deal isn’t a clean break for the FTSE 100 company or its shareholders. But as the dividend yield hits 4%, Steve W is on the lookout for potential value.
