This could be the worst week in the stock market for both Steves. But they’re here to talk about it nonetheless.
Are things finally looking up for Greggs shares? It looks like it – improving like-for-like sales and a rising share price say so.
Steve W’s been taking a look. But there’s something else in the firm’s cash flow statement that’s catching his attention.
Steve D is on the case with Klarna and looking at its operating leverage. There’s plenty of it and the company’s even profitable… sort of.
The stock market is starting to come around, but zooming out suggests a potential opportunity. Is either Steve buying?
Compass might be the FTSE 100 stock that both Steves wish they owned. And it continues to go from strength to strength.
Organic growth is impressive and the firm is rolling out its FoodBuy platform across its markets. What’s next for the company?
Monday.com’s latest results look very impressive. There’s strong growth across the board and it doesn’t look like slowing down.
It’s just starting to look like AI might in fact be a catalyst that drives this company forward. Steve D has the latest.

Who makes the best mayonnaise? Find out on this week’s PlayingFTSE Show! Steve D is back, but probably wishing he wasn’t. It’s a story of the bad and the worse in the stock market this week as the S&P 500 marches on… Shares in Vistry are down – again – after the results of the new CEO’s investigation. There’s a £400m writedown and an important change of direction for the business. Both Steves have owned this, but it’s been one set of bad news after another. And Steve D has made a big decision… Exor is a stock that has confounded value investors for some time. It trades at a huge discount to its net asset value, but could that be about to change? There’s a share buyback programme on the way and the potential for an exciting new investment. Steve W thinks this one looks interesting. It’s been a tough couple of years for Nike shareholders and the news isn’t really getting any better. Kylian Mbappe has moved to a competitor. On Running has been taking share from the market leader for some time. But with the stock now trading at the same multiples as Nike, is it worth a look at these prices?
