Small caps podcast with Paul Scott – Episode 13 (part 2 of 2) for 2023 – macro news/views

This week has seen continued recovery in larger caps, but very depressed markets for small caps. Paul sees this positively – with very attractive (low!) valuations on many of the better quality small caps.

Signs of slowing economies mean we’re likely to see more profit warnings, which so far seem to be more in the B2B sectors.

Might consumer stocks surprise on the upside? It’s possible, given 10% pay rises this month for pensioners, benefit claimants, and minimum wage – a major boost to household pay packets.

As always, these podcasts are just my personal views, never recommendations or advice.
