[ad_1] Is it time for me to eat humble pie over Vodafone (LSE: VOD) shares? I’ve been turning my nose up at them for years. Suddenly, they’re on fire. The Vodafone share price is up 14.5% in the last month. If a smart investor had put £10,000 into the FTSE 100 telecoms giant at the start of that run, they’d have £11,450 today. That’s a bumper paper profit of £1,450. Over 12 months they’re up 7%. Nice. But also a real shock, if you’re me. Possibly even embarrassing. Is this now a brilliant FTSE 100 recovery play? I turn my…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images It’s hard to believe but an investment of just £10,000 into Rolls-Royce (LSE:RR.) shares two years ago would be worth a massive £57,000 today! The parabolic growth has left some analysts confused, feeling the price action’s irrational. Subsequently, 12-month price forecasts vary widely. Some predict it’ll reach £11.50 by next March, others expect a fall to £2.40. Creating on TradingView.com The huge discrepancy averages out to an expectation of a 2.4% drop in the next 12 months. But if history’s anything to go by, that gives us very little direction. Many, including myself, have been…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images NIO (NYSE:NIO) stock is quite frankly a disappointment. There was so much faith in this electric vehicle (EV) challenger with its innovative battery-swapping technology. However, it’s flopped. The stock’s down 10% over a year. As such, a £10,000 investment then would be worth, well, around £8,950. That’s also because the stock’s denominated in dollars and the pound has strengthened slightly. However, this is nothing compared to the losses an investor would have sustained if they’d invested during the pandemic tech bubble. The stock’s now down 91% from its highs. Things are getting a little better…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Glencore’s (LSE: GLEN) share price is down 37% from its 20 May 12-month high of £5.05. Such a drop could indicate that the stock is fundamentally worth less than it was before. Or it may signal a bargain-basement buying opportunity for investors whose portfolios it suits. To ascertain which is true here, I took a deep dive into the core business outlook and relative stock valuations. The short-term view The commodity giant’s preliminary 2024 results released on 19 February looked broadly poor to me. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation fell 16% year…
[ad_1] (Bloomberg) — German bonds fell ahead of a key parliamentary vote that’s expected to open the door for Europe’s largest economy to spend hundreds of billions of euros in defense and infrastructure. Most Read from Bloomberg The yield on German 10-year bonds rose two basis points to 2.84%, paring yesterday’s drop. The rate peaked at 2.94% last week before trimming the move as analysts said the selloff was overdone. The DAX Index outperformed European peers, rising 0.8%, while the euro climbed 0.3% to $1.0955, a fresh five-month high. Investors are confident chancellor-elect Friedrich Merz will get the two-thirds majority…
[ad_1] San Francisco-based fund Cordillera Investment Partners specializes in what it calls weird investments, owning marinas and developing almond orchards as well as more complex deal-making involving the carbon markets, federal tax credits and corporate litigation finance. Now the $1.6 billion (assets) firm is aiming to direct hundreds of millions of dollars into sports. “We invest in things like whiskey and wireless spectrum licenses—things that march to the beat of their own drummer,” Cordillera co-founder Chris Heller said on a video call. “As it relates to sports, it’s an area we find very interesting because of the potential non-correlation” to…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images In the UK – and across Europe more generally – governments are looking to increase their military spending. And this could be a big boost for one UK stock in particular. Names like BAE Systems and Rolls-Royce are obvious beneficiaries. But neither of these is the company that I think stands to be the big winner from increased military spending. National security The US has been putting pressure on NATO countries to start meeting their spending commitments. This involves investing at least 2% of GDP on defence each year. On top of this, US foreign…

Many domestic steel and aluminum makers support the move, saying it will help protect their industry against foreign competitors. But the tariffs are expected to raise costs for American businesses that use foreign metals, including manufacturers of cars, canned food and drinks,…
