  • Why Vodafone is still backed to hit 250p

    City Talk

    By Graeme Evans from interactive investor. Some sense a shift in the balance towards more favourable news at the start of the new financial year.

  • Mike Ashley among Debenhams shareholders wiped out

    City Talk

    By Graeme Evans from interactive investor. One of the most intriguing City soap operas is over for investors as lenders seize control of Debenhams.

  • ii winter portfolios extend outperformance in March

    April 17, 2019

    There are fewer star performers in this year's Aggressive Winter Portfolio – that was until March when no less than three of the five constituents each gained around 8%.

    March 27, 2019

    Most acquisitions and divestments don’t maximise value – even when some dealmakers think they do.

Cass Business School provided the market analysis for a PwC and Mergermarket study of 600 global senior corporate executives which found that [...]

  • Opinion divided on Next shares

    March 27, 2019

    March 25, 2019

    By Graeme Evans from interactive investor. Investors in these two high-profile retailers ran for the hills following the latest trading updates.

  • Codes of conduct fail to address exploitation in Bangladesh’s clothing factories

    March 25, 2019

    Global fashion brands achieve corporate legitimacy while factory employees continue to face unsafe working conditions.
