In this week’s episode, Lawrence is joined by Graham Neary and Megan Boxall. They discuss:
02:20 - Fevertree #FEVR - can its recent strategic partnership with Molson Coors put the fizz back in its investment case?
11:54 - WH Smith #SMWH - we discuss the sale of its high street business, and whether there’s a potential opportunity for it to re-rate as a lower-debt travel business.
18:33 - PayPoint #PAY - this week’s trading update from one of the UK’s “best fintech stocks”, and what value are shareholders really getting from its buyback scheme?
28:12 - AJ Bell #AJB - why its seemingly positive update this week may have disappointed the market.
35:09 - Why Graham is so downbeat on #SAGA’s prospects, despite the refinancing of its corporate debt this week.
37:55 - Whether the Magnificent 7 can continue to justify their sky-high valuations after quarterly earnings from this week, and the AI giants’ tussle with DeepSeek. Where could you find potentially better opportunities?
