âThe bigger risk may be an earnings bubble rather than a valuation bubbleâ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It is not hard to see why some investors are getting nervous about the stock market. Elon Muskâs money-losing SpaceX recently went public in the biggest initial public offering (IPO) in history, with its valuation quickly topping $2 trillion and, at times, exceeding 100 times annual sales â an extraordinary multiple for a mega-cap company. Meanwhile, an even bigger AI flotation is in the pipeline, with Anthropic reportedly considering a $2trillion-plus IPO. And just look at 2026âs high-fli
Six months into the Iran war, stock markets are still well ahead (opens the original)
Read excerpt
âStock markets plunge amid fears of prolonged war in Iranâ; âStocks plunge, oil prices up 20% since start of Iran warâ. The headlines at the outbreak of the Iran conflict were not exactly conducive to calm. Back then, bulls countered that this would be a short conflict, that weâd get a Trump âtacoâ (Trump always chickens out), and the US president, conscious of Novemberâs midterm elections, would surely bring the war to a quick conclusion. Six months later, the conflict is unreso
John Ternus inherits Tim Cookâs Apple, but not his valuation (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tim Cook had big shoes to fill when he succeeded Appleâs Steve Jobs in 2011. Fifteen years and a 2,700 per cent-plus share-price gain later (dividends included), John Ternus has inherited an equally daunting pair, taking over from Cook as Appleâs chief executive. Wednesdayâs launch of the foldable iPhone was Ternusâs first big event as chief executive, in the same Steve Jobs Theatre where Appleâs co-founder famously unveiled products with his trademark âone more thingâ flourish. An
Ryanair investors say yes to Michael OâLearyâs â¬150m pay deal (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Is Michael OâLeary worth more than â¬150 million? Yes, according to Ryanair shareholders, who approved the CEOâs controversial new pay deal at Thursdayâs annual general meeting, despite opposition from proxy advisers ISS and PIRC. The figure is the potential value of a share option package, and depends on OâLeary remaining at Ryanair until 2032 and hitting performance targets. Some might say no one is worth â¬150 million, although even OâLearyâs detractors would admit Ryanairâs g
Irelandâs ETF investors face another wait for deemed-disposal reform (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Junior finance minister Robert Troy recently signalled that the Government was finally going to tackle Irelandâs deemed-disposal regime for exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Deemed disposal, which requires investors to pay tax every eight years on gains in ETFs, even if they have not sold them, is âfrom a bygone eraâ, he said. While he was ânot putting wordsâ into Minister for Finance Simon Harrisâs mouth, âI think he recognises that it needs to be addressedâ. This must happen, he ad
