Image source: Getty Images Yesterday (19 August), the JD Sports (LSE:JD) share price jumped by almost 7%. These types of moves are usually characterised by earnings releases, but that wasn’t the case for the retailer. Rather, it came from something completely different, which leads me to conclude that there could be more potential for the stock to rally from here. Reason for the pop Deutsche Bank gave JD Sports a strong boost yesterday by raising its price target on the stock from 85p to 100p. The bank’s analysts argued that the company’s risk-to-reward profile has improved. This refers to the…

Image source: Getty Images It’s an unavoidable fact: earning a second income requires a certain amount of time and money. Usually, having more of one means less of the other, and vice versa. Working a second job is a time-heavy but cash-free way of generating extra earnings. Investing in dividend shares flips that equation – it requires little spare time but a steady flow of cash. Yet time still plays a huge role. The more invested upfront, the less time it takes before meaningful returns begin to flow in. The real question is, what’s the optimal balance? A path to…

Image source: BT Group plc The BT Group (LSE: BT.A) share price soared on 24 July after the telecoms giant appointed Patricia Cobian as its first female chief financial officer. It was a historic moment for the company and investors seemed thrilled. But the market reaction added fuel to a rally that already looks a little overheated. The stock has climbed a remarkable 48% since the start of 2025. Unfortunately, that strength has eaten into what was once an attractive income stream. The dividend yield began the year at a healthy 6%, but with the share price running ahead, it…

Image source: Getty Images For many investors, the point of building wealth in a Stocks and Shares ISA is to generate a second income in retirement. But they don’t always know how big their portfolio must be to deliver the income they want. So is £150,000 enough? It looks a pretty decent target but what do investors get in return? Investing in FTSE 100 shares One method of calculating this is to apply the tried-and-tested 4% withdrawal rule. This states that drawing 4% from a portfolio each year should allow the underlying capital to last (almost) indefinitely. On £150,000, that…
TOKYO – Asian shares retreated on Wednesday, tracking a decline on Wall Street led by technology shares including Nvidia and other stars that have been riding the mania surrounding artificial-intelligence.Benchmarks fell in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, pulled lower by selling of computer chip makers.

Image source: Getty Images Cloud-based financial tools provider Sage Group (LSE: SGE) has been on my watchlist for some time. As one of the relatively few FTSE 100 technology stocks, at least compared to the S&P 500, it interests me. Unfortunately from my perspective, it has interested many other investors too. This resulted in its price rising into very overvalued territory as far as I was concerned. And regardless of how much I like a stock, I will not simply pay any price to own it. In fact, I do not even want to pay a ‘fair value’ if possible. I want…
Image source: Getty Images Persimmon (LSE: PSN) shares are down 34% from their 16 October one-year trade high of £17.21. This could indicate that the company is simply worth less fundamentally than it was before. Or it could flag a huge bargain opportunity to be had. To find out which it is, I looked deeper at the business and ran the key numbers. The business The firm’s H1 2025 results released on 13 August showed new housing revenue increase 12% year on year to £1.31bn. Underlying profit over the period jumped 13% to £172m. Its adjusted operating margin edged 0.1%…
