Wise, Danaher, Halma & Labours Spending Review
What is PSNFL? Find out on this week’s PlayingFTSE Show!It’s been a storming week for both Steves. But who’s done well, who’s done better, and what’s been going on with Nintendo?Rachel Reeves has issued the latest set of government spending plans. And there have been some obvious winners from the news. Chief among these is Rolls-Royce. But the housebuilders have also been doing well and both Steves are actually relatively optimistic about the plans going forward.On the face of it, Halma’s latest results appear to be outstanding and the stock is up as a result. Steve W has been having a look at the numbers.Organic growth is impressive and the stock market clearly likes it. However, with a March 31st cutoff, could there be tariff volatility on the way?Wise might be leaving the UK, but Steve and Steve aren’t willing to let this one go easily. Another outstanding year has seen the company go from strength to strength.More people, more transaction volume, and lower charges are seeing the company pull away. So is it likely to attract a better multiple on the other side of the Atlantic?Danaher is an S&P 500 stock that we haven’t talked about much before. But it’s the kind of business that both Steves like – strong growth and a good acquirer. It has a very interesting backstory and a culture that gives it a big competitive advantage. So at a cyclical low, could it be a stock to buy right now?Only on this week’s PlayingFTSE Podcast!► Get a free share!This show is sponsored by Trading 212!
