[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images The S&P 500 has literally dozens of high-quality growth companies, meaning it’s a bit of a challenge to pick a single one as my favourite. In reality, I can’t follow all of them, as there are too many to keep track of. So I will be undoubtedly be missing out on some gems. Still, I would say Uber Technologies (NYSE: UBER) has been my favourite S&P 500 growth stock over the past year. And it has been on fire, surging 41.6% since the start of 2025. That return absolutely demolishes the index, which is down…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images The size of the fall in Glencore’s (LSE: GLEN) share price over the past few years, has taken me completely by surprise. Since topping out at 575p in early 2023, the stock has fallen 58%. The extent of the sell-off has accelerated recently. Year to date, its down 33%. Having been bullish on the stock for so long, is it time for me to sell and move on? Q1 production Compounding its problems was the release of a disappointing set of production figures last week (30 April). Copper production in particular was extremely weak. Lower…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Keros Therapeutics (NASDAQ:KROS) generates almost no meaningful revenues and has zero FDA-approved treatments. But I still think the stock looks like incredible value right now.  As a rule, I don’t invest in the pharmaceutical industry – especially speculative drug projects. But every rule has exceptions and I’m seriously considering making one here.  What’s going on here? Bear with me here, readers. This might sound like the kind of raging speculation that was prevalent during the dotcom bubble, but I think there’s actually genuine value here. Let’s start with a trip through the firm’s back story.…

[ad_1] In a February executive order, the Trump administration claimed complete control over all measures by the Federal Reserve other than those concerning monetary policy. This is already a concern, because many regulatory decisions are fundamental to financial stability and therefore to the conduct of monetary policy. WASHINGTON, DC – When US President Richard Nixon appointed Arthur Burns as Federal Reserve Chair in 1970, he welcomed him to the job with these words: “I respect his independence. However, I hope that, independently, he will conclude that my views are the ones that should be followed.” …

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images There are likely to be many areas of the stock market that do well over the next decade. For example, cloud computing companies, artificial intelligence (AI) businesses, and electronic payment firms should all prosper as the world becomes more digital. I’m wondering, however, if the best stocks to buy for the next 10 years could be cybersecurity plays? To my mind, this area of the market has enormous potential. Cyberattacks can be devastating The Co-op and Harrods have been hit, but the ongoing cyberattack issues at Marks and Spencer have shown how vulnerable firms are…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Significant share price returns don’t just have to come from penny stocks. Companies already doing well in the market can push higher, gaining a multi-billion market cap along the way. Here’s one FTSE 250 stock that has gained over 500% in the past five years, making an early investment of £5k very worthwhile. New name, same story The stock I’m referring to is Lion Finance Group (LSE:BGEO). The 19% gain in the stock over the past year feels almost underwhelming compared to the 515% rally over five years. For those unfamiliar with the name, it…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images I’ve been loudly banging the drum for Duolingo (NASDAQ: DUOL) all year long. And putting my money where my mouth is, I’ve bought this growth stock twice in my ISA since the start of 2025. Recently, the Duolingo share price hit a 52-week high after surging 21.6% in one day (2 May). This took the year-to-date return to 52%. Here’s why the stock’s been on fire, and why I think it will head even higher in the years ahead. C’est magnifique! Launched in 2012, Duolingo is the world’s leading language learning app, offering a ‘freemium’…
