[ad_1] On April 29, 2025, Mark Carney led Canada’s Liberal Party to a narrow electoral victory, securing a fourth consecutive term for the party. Carney, a former central banker and UN Special Envoy for Climate Action and Finance, now leads Canada’s climate policy.  Carney is now tasked with an urgent balancing act: easing economic pressures while advancing ambitious climate goals — at a time when both inflation and demand for climate action are rising.

[ad_1] It seems crazy to me that the shares of Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) are the ultimate meme stock. After all, this is an $853bn company, putting Elon Musk’s electric-car maker at #8 among the S&P 500‘s largest companies. Yet this has been the way of the world since the Covid-19 crisis of 2020/21. Tesla’s roller-coaster ride Tesla stock is hugely popular among Musk fans, retail investors, day traders, speculators, and gamblers. As a result, the share price goes up and down like a roller coaster. This volatility means that the shares often move by several percentage points each day. This…

[ad_1] Image source: Aston Martin For years, Aston Martin (LSE: AML) has had the potential makings of a brilliant business despite a lacklustre share price: a unique brand, well-heeled customer base, and management focus on optimising the model range for a changing market. Despite it all, Aston Martin shares have turned out to be a value trap. The carmaker’s share price has fallen 36% so far this year, 53% over one year, and 83% over the past five years. With a quarterly trading statement released today (30 April), is there any glimmer of news that might suggest a turnaround could…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Shares of Genus (LSE: GNS) surged 27% today (30 April), easily putting it top of the FTSE 250‘s daily leaderboard. I’ve been anticipating a potential move higher, as this UK stock has been on my radar for a while now. Back in September, I wrote: “I’ve put it on my watchlist to keep an eye on the gene-edited pig. It could be a game-changer for the global pork industry and the firm’s growth.” Gene-edited pig? As strange as that sounds, that is indeed the reason for today’s massive share price jump. Let’s dig into some…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images I see plenty of potential buys among UK shares right now. And I’m looking at some candidates with updates coming our way in May. Dividend stock revisted I often think of National Grid (LSE: NG.) as possibly the best dividend stock I’ve never bought. Full-year results are due on 15 May, and I’m taking a fresh look. The company shocked investors in May 2024 with a new rights issue. But I think those of us who expected it to just carry on unchanged for ever and a day were perhaps a little naive. The energy…

[ad_1] Some people think shares are cheap just because their price is much lower than before. Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) shares, for example, are 28% below their price at the start of the year. But I think a much more relevant way to value shares is to compare their current cost to what I expect a company to be worth over the long term. On that basis, then, could buying Tesla stock for my portfolio in coming weeks potentially help me scoop up a long-term bargain? Challenging business environment, but some strong characteristics Based on its proven performance to date, I…

[ad_1] Coca-Cola reported strong profits, while PepsiCo faced higher costs and slower growth. But beyond earnings, their updates on carbon emissions, water use, and plastic waste show how both companies are trying to balance business goals with environmental action. Let’s study and find out which beverage giant is making faster progress on revenue and, more importantly, sustainability. Coca-Cola Q1 2025: Strong Profits, Even as Sales Dip Coca-Cola sold 2% more drinks in the first quarter of 2025, thanks to strong demand in India, China, and Brazil. While overall revenue dropped 2% to $11.1 billion, mainly due to currency changes and…

[ad_1] The global nickel market started 2025 with an oversupply dilemma. According to the International Nickel Study Group (INSG), the market is expected to face a supply surplus of 198,000 metric tons (mt) this year. That’s higher than the surplus of 179,000 mt recorded in 2024 and 170,000 mt in 2023. INSG also predicted that production of primary nickel is projected to reach 3.735 million mt in 2025, while global usage is forecast at just 3.537 million mt. This imbalance continues to weigh down prices and investor sentiment, especially across Asia. Source: INSG Nickel Demand Slump Likely to Drag Into…
