  • Copper mining, Compass Group & Magnum Ice Cream: The Companies and Markets Show

    Copper mining, Compass Group & Magnum Ice Cream: The Companies and Markets Show
    Feb 20 2026

    We start with copper miner Antofagasta (ANTO), whose shares have soared over the past year on the back of big gains for the red metal. It released full-year figures earlier this week, and Alex Hamer discusses its prospects, as well as Rio Tinto and Glencore now the mega-merger is off. Alex also explains some of the equity raises that have taken place lower down the cap scale in recent weeks.


    Erin Withey then joins us to discuss caterer Compass (CPG), which has been struggling of late. That’s led to calls for a slight rethink of its strategic priorities.


    Lastly, we look at one of the UK’s newest listings, albeit in the form of a business that sits outside the FTSE 350. The Magnum Ice Cream Company (MICC) spun off from Unilever in December and has just reported its 2025 results. Mark Robinson examines the outlook for frozen sweet treats.

  • Meeting Christie Group's CEO: Lee and the IC

    Meeting Christie Group's CEO: Lee and the IC
    Feb 17 2026

    Christie Group has a lot going for it. Growing in several countries and an employer to around 650 people, the brokerage business is a well-respected name in multiple niche sectors. Last year sales exceeded £70mn, and management reckons operating profits of £10mn are possible. The kicker, following the disposal of several subsidiaries, is that its balance sheet is full of cash.


    Lord Lee of Trafford clearly agrees. In more than 80 transactions since 2002, he has amassed a 6 per cent holding across both his personal investment account and the charitable trusts he oversees.


    So why is the business valued at just £35mn? We put this question and many more to chief executive Dan Prickett, who has been at the company for 17 years - including the last two and a half in the top role.

  • Schroders takeover, privatisation & McDonald's: The Companies and Markets Show

    Schroders takeover, privatisation & McDonald's: The Companies and Markets Show
    Feb 13 2026
    After a week in which we in London were blessed with a rare day in which the sun dared to poke its head out, today we will try to shed some light of our own on the big goings on in companies and markets at the moment. We kick off with a look at the breaking news of the day, the £10bn takeover of Schroders by US asset manager Nuveen. Chris Akers is here to discuss the deal, and the possible implications for the rest of the asset and wealth management sector, where there’s been another big deal in recent days: unlisted wealth manager Evelyn Partners bought by NatWest. We’ll also take a brief look at emerging market specialist Ashmore, which had interims out today and has rallied particularly hard of late.After that, we turn to our big read of the week, looking at the strain on public services and the consequences thereof. Mark Robinson will discuss why the private sector is playing a growing role in the provision of said services – in certain areas – and where they might be expected to take more of the slack in future.Finally, Mark will also look at US economic bellwether McDonalds, which reported some pretty good figures overnight. Is the economy firing on all cylinders, or are more people trading down when they eat out, or a bit of both? Mark will consider these factors as well as the figures themselves later on.Listen to more podcasts from Investors’ Chronicle on Apple, Spotify and YouTubeRead more:Schroders bought out in £10bn dealNatWest buys wealth manager in £2.7bn dealThe private stocks taking advantage of government failureMcDonald’s beats expectations as sales hold upTimestamps:00:00: Intro01:24: Schroders takeover11:17: Privatisation22:14: McDonald’sInvestors' Chronicle has supported private investors in the UK for over 160 years by highlighting rewarding investment opportunities.
