McBride, Supermarket Income Reit and AI threats

This week’s episode looks at two companies making a series of deals and partnerships in a bid to buck the troubling trends in their respective sectors. We begin with consumer staples company McBride, whose shares have been buoyant in recent weeks as the cleaning products manufacturer, known for brands such as Oven Pride, expands its horizons. Mark Robinson is in the studio to discuss the details. Hugh Moorhead then joins the conversation to look at the dealmaking plans at Supermarket Income Reit, seen by investors as a rare bright spot in the property sector at the moment. The show wraps up with an existential question that has been hitting headlines over the past week: Is AI going to destroy the world? Mark is back to give his view on whether the hype and hysteria have got out of hand. Timestamps 00:00 Intro 00:52 McBride 12:24 Supermarket Income Reit 20:26 Has the AI hysteria got out of hand?
