Europe's macro outlook is shifting. After years of fiscal restraint and fragmented policy, the region is entering a new chapter one centered on pro-growth fiscal policy, energy security, and capital-market reform. For investors, this transformation signals the potential for renewed momentum in European equities and fixed income.In this episode of The Bid, host Oscar Pulido speaks with Helen Jewell, Chief Investment Officer for EMEA Fundamental Equities, and Roelof Salomons, Chief Investment Strategist for Northern Europe at the BlackRock Investment Institute, about how Europe's evolving macro and investing environment is creating new opportunities across sectors.They explore how fiscal flexibility is enabling investment in productivity and innovation, how energy transition and AI demand are reshaping infrastructure and power markets, and why European banks, defense companies, and energy-efficiency leaders have emerged as standouts. The conversation also looks at the valuation gap between Europe and the U.S., the implications of potential ECB rate cuts, and what reforms could drive a broader, more durable resurgence.Key Takeaways:· Europe's shift toward fiscal flexibility marks its first explicitly pro-growth stance in over a decade.· The intersection of energy transition and AI is driving infrastructure and power investment.· Banks, defense, and efficiency-focused industrials remain strong performers.· Europe still trades at a discount to the U.S., offering selective opportunity.· Integration of capital markets could unlock long-term competitiveness.Key moments in this episode:00:00 Introduction: Europe's Economic Challenges and Optimism01:10 Meet the Experts: Helen Jewell and Roelof Salomons02:17 Historical Context: Europe's Economic Journey03:51 Current Barriers and Progress in Europe05:40 Sector Focus: Defense, Banks, and Energy08:49 Fiscal Policy and Unified European Growth10:33 Energy and AI: The Long-Term Investment Landscape14:30 Valuation and Market Opportunities in Europe17:17 Conclusion: Path to a Broad Resurgence in Europe19:21 Closing Remarks and Future OutlookEurope investing; Europe macro; European equities; investing in Europe; capital-markets union; energy transition Europe; European fiscal policy; European banks; AI power demand; ECB rate cuts; BlackRock Investment Institute; European defense; valuation gap; competitiveness in EuropeSources: “What's needed for an investment renaissance in Europe?”, BlackRock Investment Institute, October 2025; NATO, August 2025; BlackRock Fundamental Equities analysis, September 2025; “Entering The Age of Electricity”, IEA Electricity Demand 2025;This content is for informational purposes only and is not an offer or a solicitation.

De hele week werd gesmacht naar de cijfers van Nvidia, want die zouden bewijzen: die AI-bubbel bestaat niet. Héél even leek het nog waar te zijn ook. Maar het sentiment sloeg snel om, en toen trok onze redder alle beurzen met zich mee omlaag, ondanks die mega goede cijfers. Ook op onze eigen AEX staan de chipaandelen lager. Waar het misging en hoe die onverklaarbare omslag nu te verklaren valt, bespreken we deze aflevering. Je hoort ook waarom defensie-aandelen vandaag weer fors lager staan en waarom een vredesplan van Donald Trump en Vladimir Poetin beleggers kennelijk meer overtuigd dan groeiprognoses van het Duitse Rheinmetall, het bedrijf dat het meest inlevert. Dan duiken we ook nog in de cijfers van gamereus Ubisoft en moeten we het nog eens hebben over het bedrijf achter oorwurm Baby Shark. Het bedrijf ging naar de beurs dinsdag en het aandeel won direct 60 procent aan waarde, maar daar is drie dagen later niks meer van over. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Het hoge woord is eruit, de cijfers waar iedereen op zat te wachten zijn er. Nvidia heeft een sport gemaakt van het overtreffen van verwachtingen. Omzet en winst zijn hoger dan beleggers en analisten hadden kunnen dromen. En ook de toekomst ziet er volgens Nvidia nog beter uit dat gedacht. Ter vergelijking: ze beweren dat de verkopen tien keer zo hoog gaan zijn als drie jaar geleden. Topman Jensen Huang maakt ook van de situatie gebruik om zich uit te laten over een AI-bubbel. Die ziet hij in ieder geval niet. Hij heeft inzicht in de aankomende groei van alle bedrijven die geld gaan verdienen aan kunstmatige intelligentie. En met hun groei zit het volgens Huang meer dan snor. Maar is Huang wel de juiste persoon om te beoordelen wat een bubbel is en wat niet? Dat hoor je in deze aflevering. We gaan dus uitgebreid in op de cijfers van Nvidia, en we vertellen je ook nog een spannend verhaal over ASML. Voormalig topman Peter Wennink zou hebben voorgesteld informatie van Chinese bedrijven door te spelen aan de Amerikanen, om zo geen exportrestricties op z'n dak te krijgen. En de chipmachinemaker zou een afspraak met de VS hebben geschonden over die exportrestricties.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

IT'S ASHES WEEK. One of the biggest occasions of the sporting year is here, and with it we have a special show unlike any other we've done before. The Barmy Army is so influential it has made it into the Oxford Dictionary: to quote…it is a term for a group of passionate, noisy, and dedicated fans who support the English national cricket team, especially during overseas tours. For over 30 years, they've built incredible atmospheres by leveraging trumpets, original songs and bucket hats so fashionable they're found all over Glastonbury. But did you know behind this infamous group sits a hugely successful business, with a responsibility to bring the best experiences to the thousands of touring fans under their banner. Chris Millard is the man in charge of the Barmy Army, and in a 6 week period that will no doubt have them front and centre of sports news as 40,000 England fans descend on Australia, we thought it was the perfect time to take a look at the organisation that defines fandom and community. This is a side of the Barmy Army you will not have seen before.It's time to build the hype for as we enter the ultimate cricketing Christmas. We're delighted to welcome Chris to the Business of SportTimestamps:00:00 Intro03:22 What the Barmy Army Has Planned for the Ashes09:20 What the Barmy Army Is Today12:15 The Revenue Streams14:41 How Bazball Has Boosted Test Cricket Demand16:39 How Touring Groups Collaborate in Cricket23:39 Did Commercial Growth Threaten the Barmy Army's Values?27:07 How Barmy Army Merch & Licensing Works31:14 How Fan Culture Can Help Strengthen County Cricket34:20 Why Test Cricket Survives Only in a Few Nations37:52 How Packed Calendars Impact Player Welfare43:08 How Iconic Grounds Were Left Off the Ashes List46:03 Predicting the Ashes Outcome51:43 The Long-Term Vision for the Barmy Army BusinessOn today's show we discuss: The Business Behind the Barmy Army:How a grassroots fan group founded in 1994 has grown into a multimillion-pound sports business.Why the Barmy Army now operates with full-time staff, global partnerships, and a sophisticated travel, merchandise, and events model.The operational challenge of managing over 3,500 official tourists, and more than 40,000 fans, on a single Ashes tour.How it evolved from a group of England fans into a global movement with over two million social followers.Partnerships & Governance in Cricket:Inside the economics of a modern fan brand. From travel packages to apparel, partnerships, and social media monetisation.How collaborations with TNT Sports, retro kit lines, and bespoke tour collections have turned the Barmy Army into a fashion and lifestyle label as much as a supporters' group.The Barmy Army's evolving relationship with the ECB, from being seen as a rival to becoming an ally and trusted partner.How the group now collaborates with governing bodies across the world to influence tour schedules, ticketing, and fan logistics.Test Cricket, Tourism & the Global Game:Why the Barmy Army believes Test cricket is still the sport's heartbeat and how their tours generate up to $750 million in host-country impact.The critical link between tourism, culture, and cricket's survival, from Barbados to the Ashes.The fight to preserve the long-form game amid scheduling chaos and private league dominance.The obstacles of perception, access, and tradition when expanding into new territories.Why the future of fandom will be driven by authenticity, emotion, and the fans who live the game, not the corporations who sell it.

In the first of a two-part episode presenting our 2026 outlooks, Chief Global Cross-Asset Strategist Serena Tang has Chief Global Economist Seth Carpenter explain his thoughts on how economies around the world are expected to perform and how central banks may respond.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Serena Tang: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Serena Tang, Morgan Stanley's Chief Global Cross-Asset Strategist. Seth Carpenter: And I'm Seth Carpenter, Morgan Stanley's Global Chief Economist. Serena Tang: So today and tomorrow, a two-part conversation on Morgan Stanley's year ahead outlook. Today, we'll focus on the all-important macroeconomic backdrop. And tomorrow, we'll be back with our views on investing across asset classes and markets. Serena Tang: It's Monday, November 17th at 10am in New York. So, Seth, 2025 has been a year of transition. Global growth slowed under the weight of tariffs and policy uncertainty. Yet resilience in consumer spending and AI driven investments kept recession fears at bay. Your team has published its economic outlook for 2026. So, what's your view on global growth for the year ahead? Seth Carpenter: We really think next year is going to be the global economy slowing down a little bit more just like it did this year, settling into a slower growth rate. But at the same time, we think inflation is going to keep drifting down in most of the world. Now that anodyne view, though, masks some heterogeneity around the world; and importantly, some real uncertainty about different ways things could possibly go. Here in the U.S., we think there is more slowing to come in the near term, especially the fourth quarter of this year and the beginning of next year. But once the economy works its way through the tariffs, maybe some of the lagged effects of monetary policy, we'll start to see things pick up a bit in the second half of the year. China's a different story. We see the really tepid growth there pushed down by the deflationary spiral they've been in. We think that continues for next year, and so they're probably not quite going to get to their 5 percent growth target. And in Europe, there's this push and pull of fiscal policy across the continent. There's a central bank that thinks they've achieved their job in terms of inflation, but overall, we think growth there is, kind of, unremarkable, a little bit over 1 percent. Not bad, but nothing to write home about at all. So that's where we think things are going in general. But I have to say next year, may well be a year for surprises. Serena Tang: Right. So where do you see the biggest drivers of global growth in 2026, and what are some of the key downside risks? Seth Carpenter: That's a great question. I really do think that the U.S. is going to be a real key driver of the story here. And in fact – and maybe we'll talk about this later – if we're wrong, there's some upside scenarios, there's some downside scenarios. But most of them around the world are going to come from the U.S. Two things are going on right now in the U.S. We've had strong spending data. We've also had very, very weak employment data. That usually doesn't last for very long. And so that's why we think in the near term there's some slowdown in the U.S. and then over time things recover. We could be wrong in either direction. And so, if we're wrong and the labor market sending the real signal, then the downside risk to the U.S. economy – and by extension the global economy – really is a recession in the U.S. Now, given the starting point, given how low unemployment is, given the spending businesses are doing for AI, if we did get that recession, it would be mild. On the other hand, like I said, spending is strong. Business spending, especially CapEx for AI; household spending, especially at the top end of the income distribution where wealth is rising from stocks, where the liability side of the balance sheet is insulated with fixed rate mortgages. That spending could just stay strong, and we might see this upside surprise where the spending really dominates the scene. And again, that would spill over for the rest of the world. What I don't see is a lot of reason to suspect that you're going to get a big breakout next year to the upside or the downside from either Europe or China, relative to our baseline scenarios. It could happen, but I really think most of the story is going to be driven in the U.S. Serena Tang: So, Seth, markets have been focused on the Fed, as it should. What is the likely path in 2026 and how are you thinking about central bank policy in general in other regions? Seth Carpenter: Absolutely. The Fed is always of central importance to most people in markets. Our view – and the market's view, I have to say, has been evolving here. Our view is that the Fed's actually got a few more rate cuts to get through, and that by the time we get to the middle of next year, the middle of 2026, they're going to have their policy rate down just a little bit above 3 percent. So roughly where the committee thinks neutral is. Why do we think that? I think the slowing in the labor market that we talked about before, we think there's something kind of durable there. And now that the government shutdown has ended and we're going to start to get regular data prints again, we think the data are going to show that job creation has been below 50,000 per month on average, and maybe even a few of them are going to get to be negative over the next several months. In that situation, we think the Fed's going to get more inclination to guard against further deterioration in the labor market by keeping cutting rates and making sure that the central bank is not putting any restraint on the economy. That's similar, I would say, to a lot of other developed markets' central banks. But the tension for the ECB, for example, is that President Lagarde has said she thinks; she thinks the disinflationary process is over. She thinks sitting at 2 percent for the policy rate, which the ECB thinks of as neutral, then that's the right place for them to be. Our take though is that the data are going to push them in a different direction. We think there is clearly growth in Europe, but we think it's tepid. And as a result, the disinflationary process has really still got some more room to run and that inflation will undershoot their 2 percent target, and as a result, the ECB is probably going to cut again. And in our view, down to about 1.5 percent. Big difference is in Japan. Japan is the developed market central bank that's hiking. Now, when does that happen? Our best guess is next month in December at the policy meeting. We've seen this shift towards reflation. It hasn't been smooth, hasn't been perfectly linear. But the BoJ looks like they're set to raise rates again in December. But the path for inflation is going to be a bit rocky, and so, they're probably on hold for most of 2026. But we do think eventually, maybe not till 2027, they get back to hiking again – so that Governor Ueda can get the policy rate back close to neutral before he steps down. Serena Tang: So, one of the main investor debates is on AI. Whether it's CapEx, productivity, the future of work. How is that factoring into your team's view on growth and inflation for the next year? Seth Carpenter: Yeah, I mean that is absolutely a key question that we get all the time from investors around the world. When I think about AI and how it's affecting the economy, I think about the demand side of the economy, and that's where you think about this CapEx spending – building data centers, buying semiconductors, that sort of thing. That's demand in the economy. It's using up current resources in the economy, and it's got to be somewhat inflationary. It's part of what has kept the U.S. economy buoyant and resilient this year – is that CapEx spending. Now you also mentioned productivity, and for me, that's on the supply side of the economy. That's after the technology is in place. After firms have started to adopt the technology, they're able to produce either the same amount with fewer workers, or they're able to produce more with the same amount of workers. Either way, that's what productivity means, and it's on the supply side. It can mean faster growth and less inflation. I think where we are for 2026, and it's important that we focus it on the near term, is the demand side is much more important than the supply side. So, we think growth continues. It's supported by this business investment spending. But we still think inflation ends 2026, notably above the Fed's inflation target. And it's going to make five, five and a half years that we've been above target. Productivity should kick in. And we've written down something close to a quarter percentage point of extra productivity growth for 2026, but not enough to really be super disinflationary. We think that builds over time, probably takes a couple of years. And for example, if we think about some of the announcements about these data centers that are being built, where they're really going to unleash the potential of AI, those aren't going to be completed for a couple of years anyway. So, I think for now, AI is dominating the demand side of the economy. Over the next few years, it's going to be a real boost to the supply side of the economy. Serena Tang: So that makes a lot of sense to me, Seth. But can you put those into numbers? Seth Carpenter: Sure, Serena totally. In numbers, that's about 3 percent growth. A little bit more than that for global GDP growth on like a Q4-over-Q4 basis. But for the U.S. in particular, we've got about 1.75 percent. So that's not appreciably different from what we're looking for this year in 2025. But the number really, kind of, masks the evolution over time. We think the front part of the year is going to be much weaker. And only once we get into the second half of next year will things start to pick up. That said, compared to where we were when we did the midyear outlook, it's actually a notable upgrade. We've taken real signal from the fact that business spending, household spending have both been stronger than we think. And we've tried to add in just a little bit more in terms of productivity growth from AI. Layer on top of that, the Fed who's been clearly willing to start to ease interest rates sooner than we thought at the time of the mid-year outlook – all comes together for a little bit better outlook for growth for 2026 in the U.S. Serena Tang: Seth thanks so much for taking the time to talk. Seth Carpenter: Serena, it is always my pleasure to get to talk to you. Serena Tang: And thanks for listening. Please be sure to tune into the second half of our conversation tomorrow to hear how we're thinking about investment strategy in the year ahead.

This week, host Richard Graves sits down with Charlie Binns, Lead Nutritionist for the England men's cricket team, fresh from Perth as preparations ramp up for the Ashes. Charlie lifts the lid on what elite fuelling actually looks like across five-day Tests, why recovery is an arms race, and how his team builds simple, repeatable habits the players will actually use, from colour-coded carb periodisation to the humble banana bread on the snack table. He also shares the months of behind-the-scenes logistics you never see: venue-by-venue menus for lunch, tea and post-match; shipping batch-tested supplements across the world; and how day–night “pink ball” Tests flip the entire eating schedule on its head. Expect practical insights, no fluff, and a proper appreciation for just how physically brutal modern cricket really is. What you'll learn from the episode * Cricket's true physical demands: why a Test bowler can cover ~50 km across a match and repeatedly absorb ~8× bodyweight through the front leg, and what that means for fuelling and recovery. * Tour prep, six months out: coordinating stadium caterers, training-day menus, and freighted, batch-tested supplements, plus how strategies are trialled at home before heading overseas. * Match-day fuelling made usable: the role of lunch, tea and all-day snack stations; when to use liquids vs solids; and why simple, high-carb options (wraps, bagels, flapjacks, banana bread) win. * Carbohydrate periodisation in practice: using colour-coded days to align intake with bowling/fielding workloads, then ramping to a high-carb taper before the first ball. * Refuel like a pro: stacking recovery windows, shakes on the final whistle, high-carb changeroom options, team-room snacks, and evening meals, to reduce soreness and restore glycogen for day two (and three). * Day–night Test adjustments: how pink-ball timings shift pre-match, “lunch”, “tea” and sleep hygiene, and the tweaks Charlie makes to keep players alert without compromising recovery. * Communication that sticks: nudging over lecturing, tailoring to individual preferences, and equipping S&C staff to deliver on-ground during play.

Na 14 jaar is het wel mooi geweest voor Tim Cook. Volgens de Financial Times is de zoektocht naar zijn opvolger als CEO van Apple van start. Geen ruzie, of grote fout. Cook is gewoon op pensioengerechtigde leeftijd, en kan dus van zijn verdiensten gaan genieten. Het levert wel een probleem op, want wie oh wie moet in die grote schoenen van hem gaan staan? En wat betekent die keuze voor de toekomst van Apple? Dat bespreken we deze aflevering. Verder hebben we het over de man die al lang met pensioen had moeten zijn, maar dat eindelijk binnenkort maar eens gaat doen. Warren Buffett zat jarenlang op een geldberg van honderden miljarden dollars, maar geeft nu toch weer wat ervan uit. Zijn Berkshire Hathaway steekt een slordige 5 miljard dollar in Alphabet, het moederbedrijf van Google. En dat terwijl het aandeel Alphabet al een enorme stijging achter de rug heeft. Ook hoor je over tech-investeerder Peter Thiel. Die verkoopt juist zijn grootste belang. Gaat om zijn investering in Nvidia. Dat komt woensdag met de kwartaalcijfers, maar daar gaat Thiel niet op wachten. En we vertellen je over Trump die op de knietjes gaat. Hij geeft toe: zijn importheffingen zorgen voor enorme inflatie.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Een derde van de waarde is verloren gegaan sinds de piek van het aandeel Oracle in september. Toen explodeerde de koers nog na een deal met OpenAI. Dat ging voor 300 miljard dollar aan clouddiensten afnemen, en daar waren beleggers nogal blij mee. Maar in de afgelopen weken lijken ze van gedachten veranderd. Er is wat twijfel geweest over de hoge waarderingen van techaandelen, er is wat gesnoeid in die waarderingen ook. En Oracle komt er niet best uit: die daalt het hardst van allemaal. Zijn ze de enige, of de eerste die het te verduren krijgen? Het antwoord op die vraag hoor je in deze aflevering. Verder hebben we het ook over het dubbele afscheid van de week. Warren Buffett schreef een afscheidsbrief, en de beruchte Michael Burry sluit de deuren van zijn investeringsfonds. We vertellen je welke lessen je van deze 2 gurus moet onthouden. Je hoort over de eerste kwartaalcijfers van CVC Capital sinds hun intrede in de AEX. Die eerste paar maanden zijn niet fantastisch geweest. Het aandeel lijkt dit jaar alleen maar te kunnen verliezen. Terwijl CVC zelf juist nog nooit zo veel geld binnenharkte. En we hebben ook nog twee sappige verhalen voor je. Want twee grote klanten van Nvidia blijken keihard te lobbyen voor wetgeving die Nvidia liever niet van kracht ziet worden. En bij Aston Martin blijkt de bestuursvoorzitter op eigen houtje gesprekken te voeren om het bedrijf van de beurs te laten halen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

39 procent. Dat is hoeveel winstgroei Disney ziet bij hun streamingafdeling. 12,5 miljoen mensen kozen afgelopen kwartaal voor een abonnement op Disney+ of Hulu. Ook bij de afdeling die over de pretparken, de cruisereizen en de merchandise gaat is het feest. Dus deelt Disney cadeautjes uit. Meer aandeleninkoop, en meer dividend. Maar toch zijn beleggers niet tevreden. Die zien vooral een terugloop in advertentie-inkomsten bij de tv-kanalen. Zijn beleggers verwend? Dat vragen we ons deze aflevering af. Dan gaat het ook over modehuis Burberry. Dat heeft eindelijk de smaak weer te pakken. Sinds de pandemie verschraalden de verkopen in China, maar er is weer sprake van groei! Maar is dat te danken aan de nieuwe strategie van Burberry, of hebben ze gewoon weer de wind in de rug in de hele sector? En je hoort over de zorgen van de Autoriteit Financiële Markten.

Een paar maanden geleden was het nog ABN Amro zelf die op de snijtafel lag. Het Belgische KBC zou het willen overnemen. Maar nu zijn de rollen omgedraaid, en is ABN degene die het opslokken doet. Voor een kleine miljard euro nemen ze het Haagse NIBC over van eigenaar Blackstone. Een kans om ABN Amro sterker te maken in de Nederlandse markt. En zeker geen beschermingsconstructie tegen een mogelijke overname door KBC, zegt topvrouw Marguerite Bérard. Maar of ze de waarheid spreekt? Dat zoeken we deze aflevering uit. We hebben het ook over de S&P 500. Die heeft voorlopig z'n beste jaren wel even gehad, denkt zakenbank Goldman Sachs. Ze denken dat de Amerikaanse index een mager decennium tegemoet gaat, met maar zo'n 6 procent stijging per jaar. Daarmee zou de VS bij de slechtst presterende regio's horen. Verder hoor je over het volgende topdiner in het Witte Huis. Daar komen hoge piefen van Wall Street langs bij Donald Trump om te luisteren naar wat zijn wensen zijn. En we vertellen je over een topman die al naar die wensen heeft geluisterd, en daarom met radicale eisen voor zijn eigen leveranciers komt.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

De inflatie bleef in oktober met 3,1 procent op jaarbasis ruim boven de doelstelling van rond de 2 procent. Volgens Bas Jacobs, hoogleraar economie en overheidsfinanciën aan de Vrije Universiteit, spelen de uitgaven van onze overheid daar een belangrijke rol in. ‘De Nederlandse overheid geeft eigenlijk veel te veel gas met de begroting.’ Ook gekeken naar de politieke partijen die bezig zijn met ‘elkaar besnuffelen’ in de formatie, ziet Jacobs dat de meeste partijen ook in een komende regeerperiode van plan zijn om flink te blijven besteden. Met als gevolg dus een aanhoudend te hoge inflatie in Nederland. ‘De remweg van inflatie is heel lang, de lonen blijven lang hoog. Dat betekent ook dat op dit moment het monetaire beleid van de ECB voor Nederland te ruim is.’ Het monetaire beleid van de Europese centrale bank is gericht op het gemiddelde van de Eurozone, en daar daalt de inflatie op dit moment richting de 2 procent. ‘Dat betekent dat we in Nederland eigenlijk krapper moeten gaan begroten, en dat zie ik vooralsnog niet gebeuren’, aldus Jacobs.

APAC stocks were mostly subdued with the region failing to sustain the positive global risk momentum that had been spurred by US-China trade optimism and US government reopening hopes, while there were few fresh catalysts overnight to fuel the recent rally.US Senate voted 60 vs. 40 to pass legislation to fund the federal government and end the shutdown, while the bill now goes to the House.US House Speaker Johnson is seeking a Wednesday vote on the stopgap bill, and won't commit to an ACA subsidy vote.China is reportedly devising a plan to keep the US military from getting its rare earth magnets and is considering a ‘validated end-user' system to fast-track certain export licenses, according to WSJ.European equity futures indicate a positive cash market open with Euro Stoxx 50 futures up 0.4% after the cash market finished with gains of 1.8% on Monday.Looking ahead, highlights include UK Unemployment/Wages (Sep), EZ & German ZEW (Nov), US NFIB (Oct), Weekly Prelim Estimate ADP, Riksbank Minutes, Speakers including ECB's Lagarde, BoE's Greene & Dhingra, RBA's Jones, Supply from Netherlands, Earnings from Porsche SE, RWE & Alcon.

Meer winst en meer omzet. Met die belofte trapte Adyen de beleggersdag vrolijk af. De marges gaan oplopen, tot boven de 55 procent zeggen ze zelf. Beleggers krijgen het kwijl in de mond ervan. En Adyen ziet ook nog eens een buitenkansje: ze kunnen een van de grootste jongens in hun sector worden. Wat daarvoor nodig is, en wat er gebeurt als Adyen die doelen een keer niet haalt, dat hoor je in deze aflevering. Verder gaat het over datacenterbouwer CoreWeave. Dat verlaagt juist de verwachtingen. Niet omdat het vraag tekort komt, maar omdat ze die vraag niet aankunnen. Het bouwen van die datacenters is duur, de chips die erin moeten ook, en de concurrentie zaagt ook nog eens aan de stoelpoten. Dus ze moeten toegeven dat het allemaal wat minder rooskleurig is dan ze eerder dachten. We vertellen je ook over Softbank. De Japanse investeringsbank casht voor een kleine 6 miljard dollar. Ze verkopen namelijk al hun aandelen Nvidia. En je komt ook nog te weten waarom beleggers zich opeens moeten buigen over de vraag: wat is de definitie van een vliegtuigstoeltje bij het raam?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Er leek maar geen einde aan te komen. Chipmaker TSMC verbrak het ene na het andere record. De omzetgroei bleef maar stijgen en stijgen. Maar opeens zwakt die af. En dat nét nu beleggers toch enige zorgen hebben over een mogelijke bubbel rondom kunstmatige intelligentie. Zijn die zorgen dan toch terecht? Dat hoor je in deze aflevering. Dan hebben we het ook over iets anders waar een einde aan komt. Democraten en Republikeinen maken opeens stappen richting het oplossen van de shutdown. We kijken hoe snel het nu gedaan kan zijn. En we maken de schade voor je op. Wat heeft het de VS gekost? En wat zijn de kosten voor beleggers geweest? Verder hoor je over de Europese Centrale Bank. Daar wordt een zwengel gegeven aan het banencarrousel. In de komende anderhalf jaar komen er zes stoeltjes vrij in het bestuur, met als slotstuk het stoeltje van president Christine Lagarde. En één van de twee grootste kanshebbers is een bekende: Klaas Knot.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
