[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images International sports betting and gambling company Entain (LSE: ENT) is lighting up the FTSE 100, rocketing 35% in the last month. That makes it the best performer on the blue-chip index in that time, leading the charge as UK equities recover from Donald Trump’s tariff turmoil. It topped the leaderboard yesterday (13 May) too, ending the day 6.02% higher. For those of us who’ve been tracking it closely, it marks a dramatic recovery following a tough time.

It’s one of Latin America’s premier airline operators. Despite its strong fundamentals and attractive valuation, I can’t buy the stock. My brokerage, Hargreaves Lansdown, doesn’t currently offer access to Copa shares, leaving many unable to consider capitalising on what could be a real opportunity. A strong business Copa operates from a strategic hub in Panama City, enabling efficient connections through the Americas. The airline’s operational performance is industry-leading, with…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images It’s always interesting to keep an eye on the most bought FTSE 100 shares over at the major investment platforms. Sometimes — but not always — there can be wisdom in crowds. According to AJ Bell, the most purchased stock based on the number of deals placed by its customers in the past month was GSK (LSE: GSK).

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images The UK stock market is back in full swing, with the FTSE 100 up 6% in the past month. As tariff fears subside, many UK shares have posted double-digit gains since early April. International Consolidated Airlines is up a massive 30%, Carnival has soared 25% since early April, and Standard Chartered is up 18%. But I don’t want to buy shares that have already made their best gains. I’m looking for the laggards that might catch up with the market in the coming months. To do that, I’m checking for high-quality stocks with low price-to-earnings…

[ad_1] Paying off student debt together with a partner may shave years off your repayment term and save you thousands of dollars. Risks of paying off debts together include resentment, financial sacrifice and potential divorce complications. Before teaming up to repay debt, ask yourself the tough questions about whether you can afford it and what stresses it could put on the relationship. In May 2019, my husband Mike and I stood across from each other in our kitchen waiting for the other to speak. Finally, I broke the silence. “Is that everything, then?” I asked. Mike hung his head and…
[ad_1] Inflation eased last month, even amid concerns about tariff-driven price increases. The Consumer Price Index rose 2.3% over the prior year in April, a slowdown from March’s 2.4% and the lowest annual increase since February 2021.
