Next and JD Sports updates, the FTSE’s 40th and Ideas of 2024: The Companies and Markets Show

We welcome you to our first Companies and Markets Show podcast of 2024 with an analysis of recently released trading updates from British clothing retailers Next and JD Sports. Our team discuss how the two retailers compare and ponder the wider issues in the background that are contributing to their varying successes.


It’s then on to the FTSE 100, which turned 40 on 3 January. The team unpack the recent performance of the index, questioning whether the significance of its poor performance might be overplayed, the UK versus the US narrative, and talk about the prospects for European equities in 2024.


Last of all, Alex Newman touches on this week’s cover story – our Investment Ideas of the Year 2024 – explaining how the investments have been categorised, the themes of this year’s Ideas of the Year and what readers can expect from our Investment Ideas in the coming year.
