[ad_1] Image source: BT Group plc Over the past year, the BT (LSE:BT.A) share price has rocketed 25% higher. It hit 52-week highs in April, and at 166p it’s not far away from jumping further still. For some investors, 200p is the next big level to try and reach before the end of this year. Here are a few reasons why this might not be a crazy idea. The experts agree Some large institutions have a positive outlook on the company. For example, the target 12-month share price from the HSBC team is 220p, and Morgan Stanley is targeting 225p.…

[ad_1] Durable carbon dioxide removals (CDRs), which store carbon for hundreds of years or more, are critical tools for firms looking to address residual emissions. Technologies such as direct air capture (DAC), bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) and biochar have the potential to lock away billions of tonnes of carbon each year but remain prohibitively expensive for many firms with limited sustainability budgets. Durable CDRs often come at a cost 50-100 times that of traditional carbon credits for emissions reduced through avoided deforestation, renewable energy projects or fuel switching. As such, buyers are highly concentrated in sectors where…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images The Vodafone (LSE: VOD) share price perked up on full-year results Tuesday morning (20 May), but quickly fell back. CEO Margherita Della Valle said: “Since I set out my plans to transform Vodafone two years ago, Vodafone has changed.” Part of that change has been dividends. The 2025 fiscal year ended 31 March is the first under a new rebased dividend policy. The annual dividend has been cut in half, with 45 eurocents (38p) per share announced as planned. It represents a dividend yield of 5.2%, which is still pretty respectable. Cash rich? Vodafone also…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images On 6 January, I asked ChatGPT for its “best 3 S&P 500 stocks for me to buy for the next five years”. Admittedly, we’re only five months into the year, but given the incredible amount of volatility the index has displayed during this time, I thought I’d revisit its picks. The trio The three S&P 500 stocks that ChatGPT rattled off were Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), Microsoft, and Visa. It said Nvidia was “driving the AI revolution” with its leading chips and was perfectly positioned as the “picks and shovels provider in a gold rush“. Fair…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Nvidia stock has been charging higher in recent weeks. Indeed, since plummeting to a 52-week low in early April, it’s rocketed 43%! However, one that’s up even more is CoreWeave (NASDAQ: CRWV), whose shares have increased by 109% in May. It partly has Nvidia to thank for that, as recent regulatory filings show that the AI chip juggernaut raised its existing stake in CoreWeave just after its IPO in March. Should I buy any CoreWeave shares for my ISA? Let’s take a closer look. Sizzling-hot growth Founded in 2017, CoreWeave is a cloud computing company…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images FTSE 100 global commodities giant Glencore (LSE: GLEN) has seen its share price nearly halve over 12 months. I think this has largely been the result of market uncertainty about the strength of China’s post-Covid economy. Since the late 1990s, it has been the world’s key buyer of the commodities needed to drive its growth. The recent US imposition of 125% tariffs on the country did not help Glencore’s share price either. Looking ahead, China’s economic growth outlook remains the key risk for the firm, in my view. That said, I believe these fears may…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images UK landlords may be considering new ways to earn a second income as rising costs and tighter regulations diminish their returns. Instead, some are looking to the stock market as a potentially more lucrative investment, or so a recent report in The Times claimed The trend’s attributed to several factors, with interest rates the key reason. Having been above 5% for much of the past five years, they’ve pushed up mortgage costs and strangled rental profits. Plus, new tax reforms mean landlords can no longer deduct mortgage interest from rental income — not to mention…
