In a relatively quiet week for stock market news, a few big things stood out. And Steve and Steve have been looking at them quite closely. 

For this week’s quick news, Steve W has two versions of the same story: FTSE 100 growth stock with double digit growth. But Halma went up and Diploma went down – why?

Steve D has been looking at Palo Alto and NanoX – a couple of blasts from the past. One has been off to the races while the other is hanging on, but could there be an opportunity?

The Department of Justice has asked that Google be instructed to sell off Chrome – and potentially Android as well. This time it’s not just a fine from the antitrust regulators. 

Both Steves are taking this seriously, but how big of an issue will it turn out to be? Steve D owns the stock and he’s be thinking about how this might all end up.

3i isn’t a stock we’ve talked about before, but it’s the FTSE 100’s best performer of the last decade. Steve W has been taking a closer look and finding an interesting business. 

It’s a private equity firm with a difference. And with a big stake in a fast-growing discount retailer, could it be something worth investing in?

Nvidia reported earnings that the market wasn’t thrilled by. But they were strong nonetheless, with plenty of growth across the board. 

A slip in the share price brings the stock down to 55 times earnings. With this set to double again next year, could there still be time for investors to get in?
