[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Vodafone’s (LSE: VOD) share price is trading around its 17 September one-year traded high of 79p. This might deter some investors from buying on the idea that there cannot be much value left in the shares. Others might think the time is right to buy, as surely the stock has developed an unstoppable bearish momentum. Neither approach is optimal for making major returns over time, in my experience. Instead, as a former senior investment bank trader and longtime private investor I am only concerned with value. This is not the same as price and it…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Shares in FTSE 250 broadcaster ITV (LSE: ITV) have dropped 11% from their 22 July one-year traded high of 88p. This could indicate that the business is fundamentally worth less than it was before. Or it might flag that a bargain buying opportunity has arisen. To find out which is the case for ITV, I examined the core business and looked at key valuations. How does the business look? ITV’s 15 May Q1 trading update showed external group revenue up 4% year on year to £756m. Revenue at ITV Studios – the core production arm…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Jet2 (LSE:JET2) is currently listed on the AIM (Alternative Investment Market). It is also a constituent of the FTSE AIM 100, FTSE AIM UK 50, and FTSE AIM All-Share indexes. As such, it does not qualify for inclusion in the FTSE 100 or FTSE 250. These require a Main Market listing. Why isn’t Jet2 listed on the Main Market? Jet2’s management likely elected for a listing on the AIM market because of lighter regulatory requirements, greater flexibility, and easier access to capital. However, there has been ongoing discussion among market commentators and investors about the possibility of…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Greggs (LSE:GRG) shares jumped 7% in trading on Tuesday (20 May) after reporting its Q1 results. The push upwards indicates that the market was largely impressed by the company’s performance. Greggs reported a 7.4% increase in sales for the first 20 weeks of the year. That suggests business was picking up after a slow start. However, much of this increase was driven by a rising store count — reaching 2,638. A close look at the results shows that, on a like-for-like basis, sales were up just 2.9%. However, Greggs is currently anticipating cost inflation to…
[ad_1] After a massive drawdown in the initial reaction to President Trump’s April 2 tariffs, major stock indexes have roared back. But following six straight days of gains that have brought the S&P 500 within 3% of a new all-time high, some on Wall Street are cautioning that the next move in markets might not be definitively higher. “I do think there is some complacency [in markets],” Charles Schwab chief investment strategist Liz Ann Sonders told Yahoo Finance. Sonders pointed out that at the bottom of the drawdown, investor sentiment hit historically low levels. Since then, market sentiment has taken…

There had been an alert from the weather service bleating in the background of the call, but because the outdoor sirens hadn’t sounded — the mayor would later announce that simply no one had pushed a button to set them off — she assumed it was only…
[ad_1] Bitcoin (BTC 3.29%) was on fire early in the day on Wednesday, only to crash as the market dropped. Investors were reminded that Bitcoin doesn’t run the world, the bond market does, and that was apparent today. The big news was a weak 20-year Treasury auction from the U.S. Treasury that resulted in a big spike in bond yields. And higher yields typically mean investors are fleeing from high-risk assets to safer assets. Crypto advocates may think Bitcoin is a “safe” asset, but history tells us that Bitcoin trades correlated with growth stocks and isn’t a safe haven if…
[ad_1] Unless governments act fast to tighten rules on carbon credits, Article 6 could become a dangerous loophole that stalls progressInjy Johnstone is a research fellow in Net-Zero Aligned Offsetting at the University of Oxford. As COP30 in Brazil approaches this year, a fault line is emerging in global climate cooperation: the use, and potential misuse, of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. Instead of raising ambition and driving deeper carbon cuts, Article 6 risks enabling a new kind of greenwashing: one where countries can ostensibly meet their carbon-cutting pledges on paper while delaying tangible, real-world action. Article 6 allows…
