Are the biggest Aim stocks also the best: Companies and Markets Show
This week, we return to our ultimate guide to Britain’s junior market, as we mark the release of Part Two of our Aim 100 Special Report. We kick off with medical technology business Niox, which has just completed that relatively rare thing: a tender offer to shareholders. Julian Hofmann investigates whether the company is a safe haven in a volatile sector. We then cast our ears to a stock that’s been an incredible rollercoaster ride in 2026: hydrogen electrolyser manufacturer ITM Power, whose shares soared and then came back down to earth again. Mike Fahy weighs up whether its commercial prospects square up with its still-lofty valuation. Finally, Valeria Martinez considers data and information management business Restore. Valeria finds out if its turnaround plan is now bearing fruit.Timestamps: 00:00 Intro00:56 Niox08:37 ITM Power18:34 RestoreListen to more podcasts from Investors’ Chronicle on Apple, Spotify and YouTubeInvestors' Chronicle has supported private investors in the UK for over 160 years by highlighting rewarding investment opportunities.

Profiting from warnings, asset managers and Johnson & Johnson: Companies and Markets Show
Third-quarter earnings season (Q3) is under way and it’s taking place amid some renewed wobbles for AI and chip stocks.With this in mind, this week’s show considers two companies that could be construed as defensive. First, we turn to emerging market-focused asset manager Ashmore – while not the most obvious port in a storm, its focus on debt rather than stocks means it offers resilience. Mark Robinson explains its recent trading update.We then look at healthcare giant Johnson & Johnson, perhaps less of a defensive staple than it once was following the spin-off of its consumer division, but still a potential haven nonetheless. Julian Hofmann has the details and explores why, after a good year so far, its Q3 figures were not well received.Julian also dives into this week’s Big Read: How to profit from profit warnings. He talks through recent trends, market reactions and what it all means for the wider economy.Timestamps:00:00 Intro01:02 Ashmore10:16 Profiting from profit warnings 23:14 Johnson & JohnsonListen to more podcasts from Investors’ Chronicle on Apple, Spotify and YouTubeInvestors' Chronicle has supported private investors in the UK for over 160 years by highlighting rewarding investment opportunities.
