Questions About This Episode
What is Intertek, renewable trusts & shares on a tear: The Companies and Markets Show about?
In this week’s episode we delve into FTSE 100 testing and assurance company Intertek (ITRK) , which has had an action-packed few days: board changes, a strategic review, and a rejected bid offer from a private equity investor. Valeria Martinez explains everything you need to know. Then we look to renewable energy investment trusts, which have enjoyed increased interest over the past month amid the US/Iran war and resultant rise in power prices. Holly McKechnie tells us which trusts stand to benefit the most, and we consider whether greater urgency over the energy transition means better times ahead. Finally, we discuss microfinance lender ASA International (ASAI.L) , which has been on a tear over the past year. Julian Hofmann reports on what’s been driving the business forward and whether it can continue.
