Is Coca-Cola HBC a satisfying choice for large cap investors?
I seem to recall that Rishi Sunak treats himself once a week to a Coca-Cola drink. He is clearly more radical than me, as I probably have a Coca-Cola about once a month and, given a choice, I actually prefer Dr Pepper. Maybe that makes me more radical, after all what is the worst that could happen? Anyhow, I see that Coca-Cola HBC (CCH) has come out with another very solid set of numbers.- By Chris Bailey |

It's Raining Cats and Dogs. So Why Shouldn't Pets at Home Romp Home with the Lolly?
Hello Share Squeakers. Every time I visit Pets at Home (PETS) I feel rather poorer. This is not because its prices are comparatively high, but that everything connected to my two cats seems expensive. However, most animal-loving Brits would rather pay more through the nose to pamper their cats than they would their own grandmothers. So Pets at Home should still prosper, even as mortgages soar and the cost of living rises.- By Malcolm Stacey |

Is hotel love peaking? And elsewhere, I still like the not particularly understood distribution and more world of SIG
I know plenty of people smarter than me are on holiday at the moment, but I am still locked into the global corporate earnings season. That is a bit boring I know, but it is also fun and interesting for an investment sad sack like me. A couple of UK-listed names capture my attention this morning, starting with the owner of some flashy (and some slightly less flashy) hotels, InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG).- By Chris Bailey |

Ascent Amur Merger deal off, or is it?
Amur Minerals (AMC) says that it does not want to merge with the perma dog tainted with the reverse Midas touch of James Parsons, that is Ascent Resources (AST). That is smart call, walking away from the unsolicited approach makes sense. Parsons always gets richer from companies he runs, mug punters are always screwed.- By Tom Winnifrith |

BREAKING: You thought Neill Ricketts had gone from Versarien – think again: it's OFFICIAL
A spokesman for Versarien (VRS) has got back to me after the articles I ran yesterday saying that the 3D printing equipment is not for sale ( at present) however much the ex CEO Neill Ricketts may want to buy it and that my predictions that all the cash would have gone by October were unduly pessimistic. Okay let’s call it November then. But the real shocker is that, whatever it has said publicly Neill Rickets is still in the building.- By Tom Winnifrith |

Superdry – high interest rate “secondary lending facility”, how’s the previous “brand is recovering well” going?!
Previously writing on branded clothing, accessories and footwear company Superdry (SDRY), in May with the shares falling to around 80p I questioned it arguing “the brand is recovering well… believes that the equity raise, along with the suite of measures… will provide the stable base necessary to underpin future success”. And today… a “Secondary lending facility of up to £25m” announcement. After little more than three months, brand recovery and equity raise and related measures now not providing the necessary stable base then?!
