Show Notes
Companies editor Mark Robinson gives us the rundown on Associated British Foods’ (ABF) latest results, which shareholders warmly received. What tactics has management deployed to reach the latest share price high and where can we expect to see the company head in the future?
We’re then on to Apple (US:AAPL), this week’s cover story by Arthur Sants, our new US-based reporter. The tech giant’s latest results mentioned a greater focus on the services side of the business, including AI, as its product sales diminish. Arthur explains what’s causing falling sales and what other headwinds the company faces.
Last but not least, Jemma Slingo discusses the ‘winner’s curse’, a concept that once a company reaches the top of its industry, it underperforms. Dan and Jemma discuss how companies can sustain growth while tackling new threats.
