Protecting your pension, UK industrials and Nvidia: Companies and Markets Show

Investors' Chronicle

Show Notes

First, we cast our ears to British industrial stocks and ask whether they are being picked off too cheaply. Michael Fahy dives into why manufacturers are significantly more undervalued than their US counterparts and discusses the sector’s acquisitions in recent years.

We then turn to what is arguably our most important savings pot: the pension. You may have saved diligently and kept a close eye on your investments, but unexpected problems can still arise. From a later-life divorce or a stock market slump, plenty can throw retirement into jeopardy. But fret not, Holly McKechnie is in the studio to talk through the most common threats – and how to avoid them.

Finally, we look at Nvidia and its keenly anticipated earnings update. To investors’ joy, it delivered on all fronts and revenue at the world’s largest company more than doubled, smashing Wall Street’s expectations. Arthur Sants explains the latest figures and its new circular financing strategy, which is raising a lot of eyebrows (more on that here).
