► Episode Notes:

Why is this not Steve W’s favourite time of the year? Find out on this week’s PlayingFTSE Show! Steve W is back from holiday and ready to dive into what’s been going on in the stock market. There’s plenty to talk about and Steve D is ready to go… In our rapid review of this week, we’ve got four companies to talk about. Bunzl reported strong growth and Crowdstrike seems to be holding up ok after its big outage. Elsewhere, Salesforce looks to be reaching its final form in terms of growth. And Ryanair sent several stocks higher – including its own – with an announcement about winter travel. A few months ago, Steve D asked whether there might be anything from Europe that Steve W wanted to buy. Well there is and it’s time to talk about it. Svenska Handelsbanken is a Swedish bank that does things a bit differently to the rest of its peers. It also seems to hold up well in a crisis, so why isn’t Steve W buying it yet? Nvidia’s latest earnings report indicates yet more strong growth. The market didn’t love it, sending the stock down afterwards, but the company’s scale is staggering. As well as the hyperscalers, entire governments are throwing cash at Jensen Huang’s company. So is the latest setback a buying opportunity at this point for either Steve? Warren Buffett loves the US railroads and Steve W has been looking at one in particular. CSX operates across the Eastern US and produces some steady results. The stock also looks reasonably cheap at the moment. And with better operating margins than Apple or Alphabet, could this be an opportunity that’s hiding in plain sight? Only on this week’s PlayingFTSE Podcast!
