Deep Sky, Canada’s leading carbon removal project developer, has kicked off operations at Deep Sky Alpha, its flagship commercialization center in Innisfail, Alberta. The facility has achieved a major industry milestone—North America’s first-ever underground storage of CO₂ captured directly from the atmosphere. This breakthrough was made possible through a partnership with Skyrenu Technologies, a Quebec-based startup specializing in direct air capture (DAC). Skyrenu’s system successfully removed CO₂ from the air and, working with Deep Sky, permanently stored it underground. The event marks the first complete carbon removal cycle using a Canadian-developed DAC solution. Alex Petre, Deep Sky CEO, commented, “This…

Image source: Getty Images I’ve gone really big on one FTSE 100 growth stock. I expect great things and markets appear to agree. So is it about to make me rich? Unfortunately, life isn’t that simple, and nor is investing. The stock in question is JD Sports Fashion (LSE: JD). I bought shares in the trainer and athleisure retailer in January last year after they slumped on the back of a profit warning following a poor Christmas. My hope was that buying on weakness would set me up for the recovery, but that plan hasn’t quite worked out. JD Sports is trailing the pack…

Retirement savers are eagerly anticipating the arrival of private asset investment options. Nearly half of investors participating in 401(k) and similar workplace retirement savings plans say they would invest in private equity and private debt if their plan offered them, according to investment manager Schroders 2025 US Retirement Survey, which provided an exclusive first look at the report to Yahoo Finance. “Demand for access to private markets is on the rise among Americans who participate in employer-sponsored defined-contribution plans,” Deb Boyden, Schroders’s head of US defined contribution, told Yahoo Finance.

Image source: Getty Images IAG (LSE: IAG) shares are flying, soaring 125% in a year. Only one FTSE 100 stock has done better: gold miner Fresnillo (LSE: FRES), which skyrocketed 210%. However, I remain wary of chasing last year’s big winners. So I’m looking closely at the outlook for these two. FTSE 100 high-flyer International Consolidated Airlines Group, to use its full name, took time to bounce back from the pandemic. Then belatedly, the share price took off. Yet the pandemic has left one lasting scar. It reminds investors how risky airlines can be. Natural disasters, economic downturns, terror events, war, pandemics…
Image source: Getty Images The London Stock Exchange is famous for its big banks like HSBC, Barclays and Lloyds. However, it’s also home to a handful of smaller fintech firms that are growing strongly. Here are a pair that I reckon are well worth a closer look right now. Money transfers Wise (LSE:WISE) has shaken up the money transfer market by offering transparent pricing and faster cross-border payments. It now provides both personal and business accounts and is scaling nicely. In FY24, Wise’s total cross-border volume increased 23% to £145.2bn. This generated underlying income of £1.36bn (up 18% in constant…
Image source: Getty Images Boy, have I been wrong about Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) stock. When the chipmaker crashed nearly 70% in 2022, I didn’t invest, fearing that the so-called ‘everything bubble’ was bursting. I repeated my mistake when the launch of a slim-downed generative AI model by Chinese startup DeepSeek wiped $600bn off Nvidia’s market cap in just one day. Now valued at $4.5trn, is it time for me to throw the towel in and join the party? Spending splurge The fortunes of the chip manufacturer are inextricably linked to that of the hyperscalers. One might say they are joined…
Image source: Getty Images While most investors remain fixated on the Magnificent 7, believing that AI is about to imminently transform the world, I’ve instead been buying cheap FTSE 100 stocks. The best performer in my Stocks and Shares ISA portfolio this year, by miles, is Mexican precious metals miner, Fresnillo (LSE: FRES). Since bottoming at 435p in March 2024, its share price has nearly quadrupled. This year alone, the stock is up an astonishing 158%. The question now is whether there is any value left in the miner. Blow out results Earlier this month, the miner reported its best…
In a move set to reshape the global carbon markets, Verra, the world’s largest greenhouse gas standards body, has partnered with S&P Global Commodity Insights to build a next-generation carbon registry. The collaboration aims to strengthen transparency, trust, and efficiency in the rapidly expanding carbon credit space, a development that carries significant implications for Africa’s emerging role in climate finance. Carbon markets, once a niche mechanism, are now becoming central to global strategies for reducing emissions and financing sustainability.
