► Episode Notes:

What value traps is Steve W hoping to avoid in 2025? Find out on this week’s PlayingFTSE Show!

It’s Christmas! (Nearly.) And we have our roundup of the year along with the most interesting things that have been happening this week. 

Shares in Novo Nordisk have gone through the floor(-disk), but Darden Restaurants is doing well. This could be good news for US obesity – and Steve D has the details.

A growth stock with revenues going down has caught Steve W’s eye as well. It’s FTSE 100 distributor Bunzl – could a 7% drop in the stock be a buying opportunity?

It’s time for the PlayingFTSE 2024 Quiz. The score to beat is 8/13 and it’s about the S&P 500, but it isn’t as easy as it looks. 

It’s about which segments have outperformed and which have faltered in 2024. With Nvidia and Palantir both in, surely tech has outperformed… right?

2024 has been an interesting year for Steve W. He’s underperformed the S&P 500 – but only just. Some solid stocks have been dragged by one or two losers.

At the end of the year, his portfolio has interesting tilt towards commodities, including (but not limited to) oil. But is now the time to be buying in there?

Steve D’s portfolio has underperformed this year, but there have been some great moves. And not just on the buy side – a sell of D.R. Horton now looks very smart.

As 2024 ends, his healthcare stocks have an interesting balance to them. But what’s going to be different about the plan for 2025?

► Episode Notes:

What links Sartorius, Novo Nordisk, and Svenska Handeslbanken? Find out on this week’s PlayingFTSE Show!

It’s a very unusual week this week on the podcast. Both the FTSE 100 and the S&P 500 are down BUT THE STEVES ARE NOT – THEY’VE BOTH OUTEPERFORMED. 

Steve W has been looking at big tech for this week’s quick news roundup. Google has a quantum computing chip (good luck with that) and Amazon is getting into car sales (good luck with that, too.)

In Steve D’s news, Adobe beat earnings but the stock fell and Vanguard has announced some changes in its pricing structure. One is much more impressive than the other, but is Steve about to do anything?

The main bit of this week’s show, though, is our Eurobox. Following last week’s UK edition, we’re having a go at 30 stocks (15 each) from Europe (and Switzerland because otherwise it’s too hard for Steve W). 

ASML, Adyen, and Dassault kick off Steve D’s contribution. Two of those will be very familiar to regular listeners, but the third is an impressive French software company we’ve not discussed before.

Differentiated consumer products have been a theme for Steve W this year. And he’s got his eye on Inditex (fashion), Adidas (apparel), and Essilorluxottica (sunglasses) as stocks to consider buying.

Steve D’s healthcare trio are Alcon, Argenx, and Lonzo. All have strong competitive positions and impressive growth prospects, but they cover different parts of the pharmaceutical industry.

One thing Europe does well is luxury goods and Steve W is on the case. Ferrari is one of the most recognisable brands in the world, but he’s also adding Porsche and Pernod Ricard to the mix. 

A semiconductor equipment company, a consulting firm, and an infrastructure specialist make up Steve D’s industrials. They’re all based in Europe but each one has a global reach. 

Steve W’s also on the industrials. He’s sticking to his preferred theme of aircraft building with Airbus and Safran, but there’s also a medical equipment company in there, in the form of Carl Zeiss Meditec.

When Steve D thinks of tech, he thinks of Spain. And joining Amadeus IT in this part of the Eurobox is Dutch stock exchange Euronext and private equity operation Groupe Bruxelles Lambert. 

Companies with a cost advantage really get Steve W going from an investment perspective. And with Ryanair, Basic Fit, and Dino Polska, two out of three isn’t that bad…

Nemetschek, bioMérieux, and Redcare Pharmacy are stocks that almost nobody has heard of. But Steve D thinks a closer investigation explains why they’re worth their place in the group. 

Steve W’s taken a look at Novo Nordisk, Sartorius, and Svenska Handelsbanken. Strong companies all three, but good luck finding a theme that ties them together. 

And that’s the lot for the Eurobox. Steve D’s carefully selected his and Steve W named every stock he could think of – but neither of them listed LVMH!

All that’s left is to name our top two individual choices and a joint favourite for additional weight. These are Adyen, Dassault, Ryanair, and Svenska Handelsbanken, and the joint choice is Novo Nordisk.

► Episode Notes:

When is Steve D’s birthday? Find out in this week’s PlayingFTSE Show!

The show has a different feel this week. We’re finally giving the people what they want – a Trading212 pie with 30 of our favourite UK stocks. 

Steve W has gone back to underperforming this week after beating the major indices for two weeks running. Fortunately, though, Steve D has been pushing things forward for the team by beating everything by an absolute mile. 

The quick roundup this week features a bunch of companies with blue logis. Steve W has been looking at Intel and Five Below – two stocks enjoying sharply contrasting fortunes.

Steve D’s attention this week has been caught by Salesforce, which is starting to gain some AI credibility and Okta, which is performing well. But should investors buy either stock?

This week’s show is all about the Britbox – our top 30 UK stocks to go into a Trading212 pie. We’ve also got our top overall pick and two more of our individual favourites.

AB Dynamics, Ashtead Technology, and Judges Scientific are Steve D’s picks from the AIM. Two that we haven’t seen before on the show – but could there be some real potential here?

Steve W also has an unfamiliar name to the show – FTSE 250 components company Senior. Also on his list are filtration firm Porvair and deep value turnaround Dowlais.

Steve D’s UK fintechs include Wise, Mony Group, and XPS Pensions. The last of these might not be familiar to viewers of the show, but could the upcoming pensions change be a big catalyst?

Among Steve W’s favourite consumer-facing businesses are J.D. Wetherspoon, Games Workshop, and A.G. Barr. An idiosyncratic choice here – can the UK’s cheapest pub chain really raise prices?

Regular viewers might not be surprised to hear that Bloomsbury, Greggs, and Rightmove make Steve D’s list of stocks for the Britbox. But should he be more excited about reading Sarah J. Mass for the first time?. 

Steve W’s three are acquisitive growth stocks. Bunzl (distributor of consumables), DCC (a new one for the show) and Diploma (industrial components) make his list for the pie.

Spirax Group has had a rough year. But it’s in Steve D’s list for the Britbox along with FTSE 250 industrial Renishaw and Vistry – a FTSE 100 housebuilder Steve W’s been talking about.

Rentokil, Experian, and Admiral are Steve W’s choices. The running theme is supposed to be things with strong moats and long-term growth prospects, but do these fit the bill?

FTSE 100 miner Glencore leads out Steve D’s final set of three for the Britbox. It’s joined by Barclays – the UK’s leading investment bank – and NatWest, which has done very well this year.

Steve W also has a miner and unsurprisingly it’s Anglo American. A long-term copper thesis is behind this one and the remaining places in Steve’s side are filled by Diageo and Croda International – obviously. 

That only leaves to picks and the supporting cast still to be decided.

► Episode Notes:

Who (probably) played cricket against Rupert Grint? Find out on this week’s PlayingFTSE Show!

As the stock markets continue to climb, both Steves have seen their portfolios this week. Investing isn’t about what happens in any one week and higher prices make it harder to find stocks to buy, but there’s something nice about seeing a portfolio climbing.

There’s a lot to get through in this week’s quick news. Steve D has a surprise stat from the London Stock Exchange, some antitrust news from Microsoft, and Crowdstrike’s latest earnings update. 

Steve W has been looking at an unscheduled investor letter from Warren Buffett and Anglo American doing addition by subtraction. But could there be even more to come with the takeover timer running down?

It’s been a while since we’ve talked about Dr. Martens on the show and the stock hasn’t done very well since then. But it snapped 30% higher over the last two trading days after an earnings update that was… not great.

Sales are down 18% and end markets in the US are still weak, but falling debt and lower costs have investors feeling good about the stock. With the stock still 20% off its January levels, is the turnaround on?

Steel Dynamics is a stock Steve D has wanted to talk about for ages, but the news has been getting in the way. Lower costs than competitors in an industrialised US appears to bode well for the steel and aluminium producer. 

At 13 times earnings, the stock isn’t obviously expensive and the election result has been driving the stock higher. But is the share price still in Steve’s buying range?

Dowlais is a stock Steve W has wanted to talk about for ages, but the news has been getting in the way. It’s an unusual one for the show as it’s not the company’s long-term prospects Steve has been looking at. 

The share price has been falling like a stone over the last 18 months and the stock is at less than a third of the company’s book value. With plans to spin off a division and start realising that difference, there could be an early payday in store…

Who’s setting up their own Patreon? Find out in this week’s PlayingFTSE Show!

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?

► Episode Notes:

What’s been hiding behind Steve D’s closet? Find out on this week’s PlayingFTSE Show!

In a week where the Trump rally started to unwind and the indexes are down, Steve and Steve have had contrasting fortunes. Who’s been outperforming everything (for once)?

There’s a lot in this week’s quick news section. Steve W has been looking at a mixed report from B&M, a decent one from Tencent, and news of a change in the UK pension industry.

Steve D has news from Disney, Nubank, and The Trade Desk. Positive reports have stocks moving higher, but is now the time to be buying into any of them?

We’ve said before that Netflix is the last subscription that people seem to want to cut. But Spotify might have something to say about that.

The company’s latest earnings report looks strong, with plenty of scope for earnings growth as profits start to come through. Steve D sold this a lot lower – is it time to come back to it?

Croda International continues to fall with the news of RFK Jr.’s appointment as health minister. But trading at metrics not seen since 08/09, is it finally in buying range?

That’s the question Steve W has been considering. The latest earnings report was quite positive, but the market seems to have shrugged that off and the stock is back down again.

Shopify’s share price has been all over the shop, but its business is going well. Profits are increasing rapidly, but there’s revenue growth as well for investors to consider.

The stock might look expensive at first sight, but it’s a long way from where it was five years ago. Time for Steve or Steve to take a closer look?

► Show Notes:

What’s been going on in the financial world and why should anyone care? Find out as we dive into the latest news and try to figure out what any of it means. We talk about stocks, markets, politics, and loads of other things in a way that’s accessible, light-hearted and (we hope) entertaining. For the people who know nothing, by the people who know even less. Enjoy
