Does regenerative agriculture pay? In a word, yes, says Arva CEO Jay McEntire. “We paid out $20 million to farmers engaging in regenerative practices in 2023, $40 million-plus in 2024, and we’ll pay out more this year.” And to those who see big food & ag corporates quietly dropping sustainability commitments and backsliding on ESG, McEntire notes that the number of companies setting greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets with the SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) continues to rise, requiring more companies to measure, manage and reduce their supply chain emissions.

Image source: Getty Images I hate jumping on an investment bandwagon too late but that’s exactly what I did with Nvidia (LSE: NVDA) shares. Ideally, I prefer to buy out-of-favour companies and wait for their share prices to recover. Fat chance of that here. But when the stock dipped in April after Donald Trump announced his 90-day tariffs, I bought in and I’m up around 50% in months. That’s great, but it leaves me with a dilemma. Should I bank my profit and move on? S&P 500 star There are good reasons to do so. They say it’s never wrong…

Image source: Rolls-Royce plc Rolls-Royce (LSE: RR.) shares took a knock last week, sliding almost 6% in a broader sector sell-off that began on Monday, 18 August. The drop followed news that peace talks between Russia and Ukraine were gaining traction. US President Trump met with Presidents Putin and Zelensky last week, sparking speculation that defence budgets could shrink if the conflict winds down. The irony is that just a week earlier, US officials had downplayed the likelihood of a ceasefire deal – a move that had actually lifted defence stocks, including Rolls. Reports suggest Trump offered Zelensky security guarantees…
Image source: Getty Images One thing I know about penny stocks is that their share price performance can often be misleading. Their small market caps and low liquidity can lead to wild and volatile price swings. What might look like a soaring success story today can quickly turn the other direction next week. So when I saw a UK penny stock that was up almost 100% this year, I was sceptical. However, upon closer inspection, the strong performance appears to be backed by a legitimately well-run business. So, are there still gains to be made — or did I miss…

Image source: Getty Images After a blow-out set of results earlier this month, Aviva (LSE: AV.) shares are attracting the attention of both growth-oriented investors and passive income seekers. As analysts queue up to upgrade the insurance giant’s prospects, I’m looking to lock in an attractive yield for the long-term. Dividends Its stated policy is to grow the cash cost of the dividend by around 5% per annum. However, a combination of an excellent set of results, as well as share dilution following the buyout of Direct Line, meant it was able to raise the interim dividend by 10% to…

Image source: Getty Images One thing I do every quarter as part of my investment research is dive into the 13F filings of top British fund managers. These reveal the US stocks that the managers bought and sold in the previous quarter. Last week, I spent some time looking at the filings of Terry Smith, Nick Train, and Stephen Yiu to see where these highly-regarded managers deployed their capital in Q2. Here’s a look at three S&P 500 stocks the managers snapped up. Terry Smith Terry Smith – the manager of Fundsmith Equity – didn’t do a lot of trading…
