Summary

Asian markets plunged as Samsung's 19-fold profit surge failed to satisfy investors, triggering a KOSPI circuit breaker and dragging tech stocks lower globally. Oil edged higher after an LNG carrier was hit in the Strait of Hormuz, underscoring geopolitical risks. NATO's summit begins in Turkey with a focus on defense spending targets, while Marine Le Pen's appeal verdict looms. Guest Anna Macdonald discusses upside in UK defense stocks, continued appetite for global tech index funds, and undervalued UK equities like easyJet amid rising M&A.

Defense stocks have room to grow.
Defense spending must increase given NATO's 5% GDP target and security pressures. Defense stocks have further room to grow even though recent buying has been muted. Hargreaves Lansdown investors hold significant positions in Rolls-Royce and BAE Systems, and those names are well-positioned as defense budgets rise and the nature of spending evolves.

easyJet bid interest signals undervaluation.
UK M&A activity is well ahead of last year with easyJet receiving takeover interest, reflecting undervaluation in UK equities. Shareholders are willing to accept bids for good internationally-focused companies at attractive valuations, making easyJet a potential opportunity.
