Image source: The Motley Fool In the last few weeks, it’s come to light that Warren Buffett has been buying UnitedHealth (NYSE: UNH) stock for his investment company, Berkshire Hathaway. I’m not surprised by this trade – back on 5 August, I said UnitedHealth shares fit the Buffett mould perfectly. Should investors consider following the investment guru into the health insurance stock? Let’s discuss. A disaster in 2025 UnitedHealth stock’s historically been a very consistent performer. However, this year, it’s been an absolute dog. One reason for this is that recently, the health insurance company has significantly underestimated the demand…

Image source: Getty Images Agronomics (LSE: ANIC) isn’t a penny stock for the faint of heart. It’s up 93% year to date, yet has fallen nearly 20% in just a month. Meanwhile, the long-term share price chart looks like something a snowboarder would have lots of fun riding down. But co‑founder and executive chairman Jim Mellon reckons the uber-disruptive industry that the company’s involved in could become a money fountain. So should I load up on this penny stock at 7p? Let’s explore. Agro… what? Agronomics is a leading investment company in the field of cellular agriculture. This involves growing…
(Bloomberg) — Warnings on defaults are starting to pile up in the $1.7 trillion private credit market, prompting at least some analysts to raise concern about underappreciated risks in one of Wall Street’s favorite money spinners. For years, losses have been contained by the fact that private credit firms have more room than many other investors to be patient with borrowers when times are tough. During the pandemic direct lenders granted companies more time to pay their obligations, often by negotiating behind the scenes with private equity owners.

Image source: Getty Images The best time to buy shares is often when they’re trading at a discount. But sometimes there are good reasons why stocks fall sharply. WH Smith‘s (LSE:SMWH) stock crashed 42% on Thursday (21 August). I don’t think a £30m error justifies a £570m drop in the company’s market value, but that might not be the end of the issue. What’s the problem? The issue is the way WH Smith accounts for rebates and incentives from suppliers. Instead of spreading these over the life of the contract, it had booked them all immediately. As a result, the…
Image source: Getty Images The Lloyds Banking Group (LSE: LLOY) share price has soared more than 50% year to date. Often when I see that happen, I’m looking for possible overvaluation and thinking whether it’s time to sell. And when it tops off a five-year spell that’s seen the shares treble in value, I do start to get a bit nervous. It’s tempting to look even further back, and realise that UK bank stocks are still way down on where they were before the 2008 financial crisis. In 2007, Lloyds shares reached over 400p. And we might even think we…

Image source: Getty Images With the US trade outlook shifting under renewed tariff threats from Donald Trump, investors may be rightly concerned that global stock markets are overheating. After all, tech valuations in particular look stretched, and the S&P 500 has surged well beyond its historical earnings multiple. However, this just means we need to look harder for undervalued stocks. With that in mind, here are two small-cap stocks that don’t appear undervalued. Synectics: solid growth, attractive value Synectics (LSE:SNX) delivered a 35% rise in first-half revenue to £35.5m and a 59% jump in adjusted earnings per share (EPS) to…
Image source: Getty Images Share prices often move most dramatically when companies release their quarterly earnings. And Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock’s Q2 earnings are due on 27 August. That’s when investors find out whether a company’s outperforming, underdelivering, or simply meeting expectations. And when a company has rallied 30% year to date, like Nvidia, the bar for results day is set extremely high. Analysts expect revenue of $45.94bn and non-GAAP earnings per share of $1.01. For context, last quarter, Nvidia delivered $44.06bn in revenue — more than $800m ahead of estimates. Yet even that blowout wasn’t enough to spark a rise…
