Daily Stock Market Report (Tue 20th Jan 2026) - CRN, FOUR, WISE, STAF, G4M, DFS, KMK, RCH, FCH, EYE

Good morning! It's a little bit hectic today. Good luck if you have multiple portfolio holdings updating at the same time!
Fortunately most of the company news today is very positive. I'm even wondering if this is some kind of record. By my count, over a dozen companies have beaten expectations or raised guidance!
Personal update: I have today added ASA International (LON:ASAI) to my personal portfolio, a stock which I wrote up late last week in a brief stock pitch.
16:30 : We're finished for today, see you tomorrow!
