Sharesify: Talks Shares 16 Jan 2026

In our latest podcast, Sharesify’s Steven Frazer and Ian Conway are getting that Friday fried feeling. But they soldier on to discuss astonishing numbers from US investment bank Goldman Sachs (GS), which advised on a staggering $1.5 trillion of IPOs, cash calls and other dealsheet work. Morgan Stanley (MS) was also on fire, thanks to soaring deal volumes as 2025 saw an a massive AI dash for cash. Steven talks throuigh some mouth-watering IPOs that could appear this year – think Elon Musk’s SpaceX, exciting AI brianbox Anthropic, and perhaps Sam Altman’s genius ChatGPT creator OpenAI. The chaps chat through some big earnings calls next week – Intel (INTC), Netflix (NFLX), Proctor & Gamble (PG) on Wall Street – the latter of which could have interesting implications for London’s Unilever (ULVR), now that its spun-off its Magnum Ice Cream (MICC) business. Ian also flags why he keeps a close watch on Freeport-McMoRan (FCX), and why it’s an important economic bellwether. The chaps also point out some stocks to watch on this side of the pond, with Curry’s (CURY), Craswick (CWK), and Qinetiq (QQ.) in the frame.
