Episode 43 (27/10/2024) - UK Small & Mid Caps with Paul Scott
Description
Press reporting suggests a substantial hike in employers NICs could be announced on this coming Wed 30 Oct's budget. I crunch some numbers, which demonstrate that retail and especially hospitality could be facing significant falls in profit, hence maybe best avoided until the dust has settled?
Expect carnage if they cut AIM's IHT exemption, or a big rebound if they don't! Place your bets ...
Lots of companies reporting again, with 5 profit warnings, 8 GREENs (things we like the most), and 7 AMBER/GREENs (moderately positive).
As always, please remember I'm only giving my personal, fallible opinions here. You must do your own more detailed research, and not rely on my views, as they will sometimes be right, but sometimes wrong, and nobody knows what the future holds.
