LSE Sell-Off, BP Buybacks & Alphabet’s 100-Year Bond | UK Stocks & Market Deep Dive

In our latest podcast, Sharesify’s Steven Frazer, Ian Conway and James Crux open with Winter Olympics talk and news from ‘down The Lane’, and why Steve think’s rock band Stealers Wheels is appropriate. James then unwraps a couple of results from UK small caps Ramsdens (RFX) – not the chippy! – and PZ Cussons (PZC). The chaps then chat through London Stock Exchange (LSEG) news after its recent sell-off, and ponder what activist investor Elliott might be up to with its stake build. Ian walks us through, before moving on to the buybacks at back-off at BP (BP.) and TotalEnergies (TTE), with Shell (SHEL) about to report. James and Ian talk patchy performance at Finsbury Growth & Income (FGT) trust, before Ian recaps UK housebuilders, and why there’s still no sign of a bottom. Steve wraps up some hot stocks across the pond in cybersecurity and AI infrastructure, there are warning signs for the wealth management industry, and Alphabet’s (GOOG) rare 100-year bond, and what is means for investors. All this and more. So if you want to get involved, email us your thoughts, suggestions and questions at editorial@sharesify.com.
