NicoElNino/iStock via Getty Images The following segment was excerpted from Fundsmith Equity Fund 2026 Semi-Annual Letter To Shareholders. Atlas Copco ( ATLKY ) – Organic growth has been anaemic over the last two years, which in our view does not justify a <3% FCF yield which has resulted from the shares rising sharply over the past year. Coloplast ( CLPBF )– Organic growth has fallen from a long term average of 8% to 6%. Not coincidentally there have also been a couple of high-profile screw-ups involving acquisitions. EssilorLuxottica ( ESLOF ) – The lower margins on smart glasses forced the company to abandon its long-term profit targets. It is still a very interesting company with the rise in wearables and smart glasses, but increased competition in this segment is inevitable. Intuit ( INTU ) – Although we only recently repurchased Intuit we were sensitive to the way in which they have reacted to the poor Mailchimp acquisition as this is why we sold the shares in the first place. The fact that they have now taken to giving results ex Mailchimp both shows how bad the acquisition was but also worries us about a continuing state of denial. LVMH ( LVMHF ) – The key China market seems unlikely to recover until the property market does. Family succession plans are also an increasing concern. Magnum Ice Cream Co. ( MICC ) – The company is too small and illiquid for us to build a meaningful position. Mettler-Toledo ( MTD ) – Underlying growth so far this year is only 1%, which isn’t enough to justify its traditionally premium valuation. Nike ( NKE ) – It is clear that any turnaround from new CEO Elliott Hill after the damage done in the pandemic period will take longer than we’d initially expected, especially as China and Converse continue to be problems. Novo Nordisk ( NVO ) – Parlayed a market leading position in the biggest drug discovery in decades into an investment disaster. Otis ( OTIS ) – The growth in maintenance and modernisation of lifts hasn’t been fast enoug...

After its blockbuster IPO, SpaceX (NASDAQ: SPCX) is now one of the largest money-losing businesses the world has ever seen. According to SpaceX's IPO prospectus , the company lost $4.94 billion on $18.7 billion in revenue. Data for the first quarter of 2026 suggests that losses are accelerating. So far in 2026, the company has lost $4.28 billion on $4.7 billion in revenue. Scaled up to an entire year, the company is on track to lose around $17 billion on roughly $19 billion in sales. Net losses, it seems, are accelerating even faster than revenue growth. Keep in mind, however, that the company did eke out a $756 million profit in 2024 off $14 billion in sales. Continue reading

Bishop Auckland is abuzz with culture and family fun, thanks to the vision of Auckland Palace’s owners – and the new Kynren show featuring birds of prey, Viking raids and mythical beasts, which opens next week Booming Hans Zimmer-style cinematic music reaches a crescendo, shaking my bones. Two turquoise macaws swoop within an inch of my hair and join a sky filled with nearly 250 birds. Hawks, kites, pelicans, and an owl soar and swoop around a pagan-looking wooden circle. Peacocks fuss at the makeshift river below, coaxed by two actors telling the story of humans’ relationship with nature. Grey clouds roll in, dark with rain. After all, we are risking an open-air performance in north-east England. I’m at a preview of Kynren: the Storied Lands, the latest gloriously unrestrained project in the market town of Bishop Auckland, 12 miles south of Durham. I grew up near Bishop Auckland, which was once an important coal-mining and railway town. Last time I was here, its centre was dominated by discount stores. If, in 2003, you’d told teenage me that the high street would become an ode to art, history and culture, I would have laughed. Well, I would have grunted and turned up the Nu metal on my MP3 player.

A young boy and his two siblings stay with their aunt in the West Country, in this haunting debut set over the long, hot summer of 1976 The summer of 1976 calls to my generation of novelists. We don’t remember it, but we remember the textures of daily life in that era, and a heatwave puts daily life under the kind of pressure that fuels fiction. In Guardian journalist Charlotte Edwardes’s first novel, Trouble Was, the scene is set by that heatwave with its attendant, escalating water shortage; the escalating marital and mental health crisis of the mother of three young children; a remote farm in the West Country. Though in some ways the pace is slow– not a criticism, the pace of school holidays with nowhere to go and nothing to do is also slow – the novel’s engines thrum from the first page. Edwardes has taken the risk of a first-person child narrator, primary-aged Frank. Such figures are necessarily precocious – there’s a reason full-length novels by nine-year-olds are rarely written and never published – and tend to make demands on our suspension of disbelief, but in this case it’s convincing and compelling from the outset. The use of past tense helps, allowing both strikingly immediate observation and the feeling that the prose is in the steady hands of a remembering adult. Through the gap between Frank and the reader’s comprehension, the book conveys what the reader needs to understand about the adults’ lives. We know that most of the adults are also adulterers, that his mother’s mental illness is hereditary as well as situational, and that her efforts to fob off social services are just about adequate.
