We begin with FTSE 100 equipment renting company Ashtead, which released interim figures in recent days. Jemma Slingo and Julian Hofmann delve into the numbers and explain the background of the issues the company has faced in terms of demand. They also touch on the future of the business in light of the possibility the US government will change hands in the coming year.

Jemma also discusses the results of a different rental company, Redde Northgate. The 2020 merger between a replacement vehicle company and an accident management services business means the company still has some legacy issues weighing on it. Mark Robinson shares the standout qualities of the company, but do the drivers outweigh the cyclical risks?

Lastly, Alex Newman talks listeners through our latest cover feature ‘Why it’s stockpickers time to beat the market’. He explores why active funds have performed so badly recently and spells out the argument that they might do better in future.
