The Companies and Markets Show: Focusrite, XPS Pensions and profiting from the energy switch

We begin with Alex Newman who discusses the recent results of music equipment manufacturer Focusrite. The company’s growth and share price rocketed during the pandemic, but like many others, its stock price has plummeted since. Alex explains how the business can spur growth and analyses whether the buy-and-build strategy will help boost its valuation.


Julian Hofmann then takes the reigns with consulting and administration business XPS Pensions, which is growing at an exponential rate. Strong fundamental drivers are behind this expansion, but Julian discusses whether its cost control is good enough given the higher expenses seen in the industry.


Last but not least, we discuss our latest cover feature on profiting from the energy switch. Author James Norrington explains his motivation behind the piece, China’s dominance of supply chains and touches on the Black-Litterman mathematical model for portfolio allocation.
