Apple, Paypal and Four Corners Report!

Playing FTSE

► Episode Notes:

What’s been going on in Steve D’s bedroom this week? Find out on this week’s PlayingFTSE Podcast!

The Steves are here to talk about Apple’s growth, PayPal’s future, and the earnings from a REIT that Steve D owns. They were also here to talk about Kraft Heinz’s margins and a REIT Steve W likes, but those will have to wait until next week.

In consumption news, Steve D has been listening to someone he disagrees with – Cathie Wood – but has the ARK innovator made any progress on him? Steve W has been listening to Goldman Sachs on the subject of US outperformance, but can that continue going forward from there?

Then it’s on to stocks, starting with Apple. Warren Buffett loves the stock and Steve W owns it in his portfolio, but is a stock trading at a 29 P/E while predicting flat revenue growth for the next quarter really justifiable?

Next, it’s PayPal, with a new CEO who has a lot of ideas for boosting revenues and margins. This should be promising for shareholders, but why does Steve D think that it’s good news for rival Adyen?

After that, it’s Four Corners Property Trust – a REIT that owns restaurants mostly inhabited by Olive Garden and Longhorn Steakhouse outlets. We’ve been looking at a few REITs on the show this year with interest rates on the move, but why does Steve D think this one is particularly interesting?
