    Send us Fan MailIn the latest edition of the Sharesify Podcast, Ian and James discuss why markets remain difficult for investors to navigate due to the ‘tape bombs’ emanating from the White House. While the FTSE 100 has resurfaced above the 10,000 level, the FTSE 250 has been slower to recover.On the earnings front, James addresses the Middle East challenges facing protein powders-to-supplements firm Applied Nutrition (APN) and highlights this week’s fresh £300 million buyback from DIY retailer Kingfisher (KGF). The FTSE 100 retailer’s B&Q and Screwfix chains are on solid foundations but the French market remains a drag.Ian shines the spotlight on insurance-to-workplace benefits business Personal Group (PGH:AIM), which smashed it in 2025 and is sticking to its 2030 targets. Heading in the oppositive direction was Goodwin (GDWN), the family-controlled engineer which plunged on fears it may have to suspend production. Ian reckons many retail holders have moved on and marched their money into fantasy miniatures maker Games Workshop (GAW) instead.Finally, James looks forward to our upcoming Podcast specials with investment trusts AVI Japan Opportunity (AJOT), MIGO Opportunities (MIGO) and Law Debenture (LWDB).How you can get involvedIf you’d like us to discuss a particular topic, feel free to email us your thoughts and suggestions at [email protected].

    Sharesify talks markets, Adobe, On the Beach, Trainline, and a peek at what's coming next week

    Send us Fan MailIn today’s podcast, the Sharesify team talk markets, technicals, and the week’s winners and losers. While the FTSE 100 is still clinging above 10,000, the S&P 500 is nearing a key market support level. Ian explains what it is and why so many market-watchers are keeping an eye on it.Companies in focusFirst up, Steve flags results from US software behemoths Adobe (ADBE) and Oracle (ORCL). In Adobe’s case, strong Q1 revenue growth and increasing AI adoption have been overshadowed by the CEO’s surprise departure. Oracle shares on the other hand have enjoyed a strong rally on current growth and the look ahead.In terms of winners, Ian singles out private equity and credit group Bridgepoint (BPT). While the shares have been out of favour, the latest results speak for themselves. In addition, the firm got this year off to good start with the largest realisation in the PE sector.Ticketing firm Trainline (TRN) posted steady if unspectacular results for FY25 but it wasn’t enough to allay investor fears. Concerns over the long-term impact of UK rail nationalisation and the looming departure of the CEO sent the stock lower.Another travel-related loser this week is On The Beach (OTB), which pulled its earnings guidance, as James explains. The firm has seen a sharp slowdown in bookings this month, meaning the war in the Middle East is already impacting demand and profitability.Looking ahead to next week, James flags Wickes (WIX), the home improvement retailer which reports earnings on Tuesday 17 March. Given its net cash balance sheet, James surmises the group might announce a fresh share buyback alongside its results.How to get involvedIf you want us to discuss other topics, feel free to email us your thoughts and suggestions at [email protected].

Meanwhile, there is a surprise reverse for defence stocks as Trump talks up an end to conflict in the Middle East.Edinburgh Worldwide (EWI) plans a cash return to shareholders after crumbling in the face of Saba activism, James explains. In addition, the AIC is slamming Saba as its war of words becomes increasingly heated.Elsewhere, massive AI infrastructure capex has been embraced, spurned and embraced again by investors left unsure about returns timelines. However, Steve explains the surprising risk-off optionality that may be available to investors via gold-plated corporate bonds. These have been offered by Alphabet (GOOG), Oracle (ORCL), and now Amazon (AMZN). In particular, Amazon is pushing $50 billion worth of dollar/euro notes.Less bad than fearedJames discusses Domino’s (DOM) ‘less bad than feared’ figures, before taking a well-earned swig of Vimto-maker Nichols (NICL).

There’s knockout results from ASICs play Broadcom (AVGO), before turning to what will grab the guys’ attention next week – Clarkson (CKN), Legal & General (LGEN), plenty of US retail, UK infrastructure and another UK housebuilder.And a date for your diaries, Steve reminds us, with Winterflood‘s Emma Bird making a guest podcast appearance next Wednesday (11 March).

    Latest podcast talks bumpy markets, Asia sell-off, inflation vs recession, Greggs, Vistry, Broadcom

    Send us Fan MailIn our latest podcast, Sharesify’s James Crux, Ian Conway and a croaky Steven Frazer spin through a busy and bumpy market so far this week. Ian puts us in the loop with UK market falls. He tells us which is Europe’s big loser so far. But it’s Asia that is really hurting. In fact, South Korea’s Kospi Index crashed to its biggest one-day fall.Steve puts some meat on the bones as the Straits of Hormuz close. He explains where else oil jitters are getting investors antsy. Meanwhile, central banks are also on the spot. They are facing big rate calls over the coming weeks and months. That’s because they must balance inflationary pressures from oil spikes against potential economic slowdowns.‘Peak’ GreggsJames then draws us into ‘peak’ Greggs (GRG) following solid results from the bakery chain. The FTSE 100’s most shorted stock turns to defensives (‘vegan sausgae roll’ index anyone?).There’s FTSE 100 changes, where real estate investment trust, or Reit, Tritax Big Box (BBOX) becomes a record 7th trust in the blue-chip index. Ian explains why its focus on core infrastructure assets (automated warehouses, data centres etc) set it aside from other Reits.The talk takes a gloomy turn as housebuilder Vistry (VTY) gets pummelled amid a buyback pause. Ian sees little reason to expect a sector upturn anytime soon. Additionally, he has recently written a feature on the wider topic of buybacks and if they add value.Broadcom debtThere’s also a quick spin through big reports this week on both sides of the pond – Adidas (ADS), Target (TGT), Kroger (KR), Gap (GAP), plus AI growth machine Broadcom (AVGO) afer the bell this evening (9.30pm UK time approx). Steve flags why gearing (net debt to assets) will be worth watching beyond growth and guidance.And a date for your diaries, Steve reminds us, with Winterflood making aguest podcast appearance next Wednesday (11 March).

    Send us Fan MailIn our latest podcast, Sharesify’s James Crux, Steven Frazer and Ian Conway talk blowout earnings from Nvidia (NVDA) and hiked guidance, but a puzzling big fat meh! from the markets. James gives us a quick wrap of what the markets have been doing, and the chaps chat through results highlights, and lowlights and what to watch out for next week.Ian talks through figures from London Stock Exchange (LSEG), and flags former ads giant WPP (WPP), firmly in turnaround mode (again!) after hitting 29-year lows, but now with a CEO who seems to have a proper plan in place.Steve runs through Broadcom (AVGO) and Dell (DELL), and how memory chip pricing is something to watch.Another week, another investment trust under the cosh as Impax Environmental (IEM) faces an existential crisis as activist Saba throws the trust under the bus. It appears to be a real blow, argues Ian, given Impax’s great track record. Staying with trusts, the hugely popular JPMorgan Global Growth & Income (JGGI) is set to report next week, as will the lesser-know Law Debenture (LWDB), a trust with a genuine twist.Greggs (GRG) is also incoming next week, a surprise leader of the UK’s most shorted stocks (read Ian’s feature here), while across the pond eyes will be fixed on cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike (CRWD) in the wake of Palo Alto’s (PANW) soft guidance read last week.There’s lots more than chaps chew through too.
