Who doesn’t like Mondays? Find out on this week’s PlayingFTSE Show!

A difficult week in the stock market for both Steves. But which one’s done badly and which one’s been awful?

Adyen’s results are in. It’s the usual growth of roughly 20% and the stock has – as usual – moved in a vertical direction, so not much to report, right?

Actually no, there’s a lot to talk about and not just how much better than PayPal the company is. So get strapped in for a long one – Steve D’s on form this week.

Roper Technologies is a stock that’s found its way onto Steve W’s buy list. The SaaS selloff has pushed the share price down dramatically and it now looks like an opportunity.

It’s a collection of vertical software businesses under one roof. And with management is making the right moves in response to the stock going down, could this be the moment?

Monday.com is down mightily recently, as part of the broader software selloff. Steve D, though, is eyeing this one as a potential opportunity as the earnings are coming in strong. 

There’s not so much good news on the guidance front. But with the stock down 50% since the start of the year, is it just too cheap to ignore?
