Winners, Losers & Some New Recommendations!

► Episode Notes:

Who’s wrong so often they should change their name to ‘Steve?’ Find out on this week’s PlayingFTSE Podcast!

Steve and Steve are talking stocks and sports again this week. England might have faded away horribly in the cricket, but our show is still pushing on regardless.

Synthomer was Steve W’s pick for JKR’s competition at the mid-point of the year and it’s been a disaster. But with a rights issue helping to sort the balance sheet, might the company finally be through the worst?

Next it’s UIPath – Romania’s contribution to the S&P 500, which was requested by some of our subscribers. Steve D’s been looking at this and thinks there might be some sneaky upside here to the business with the possibility of an acquisition…

Sticking with the S&P 500, AirBnB is about to become the newest addition to the index. The stock is running up a little bit on the news, but Steve W thinks it might be worth keeping an eye open for a buying opportunity when the stock gets added.

And we’re finishing this week with DocuSign. It’s more than copy and pasting signatures, but is one of Cathie Wood’s favourite stocks down enough to attract either of the Steves?

Only on this week’s PlayingFTSE Show!
