[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images BAE Systems (LSE:BA.) shares have appreciated 16.3% since the start of 2025, driven by talk of rapid Western rearmament. This takes total gains since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in early 2022 to a whopping 123%. I’m wondering though, if the FTSE 100 defence giant still looks cheap based on predicted earnings growth. The GARP (Growth at a Reasonable Price) strategy seeks to find companies that offer the holy grail of growth and value. It aims to help investors achieve capital appreciation without overpaying for the privilege. So does BAE Systems’ share price look cheap despite…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images I feel a bit bad rocking up on The Motley Fool UK website to diss National Grid (LSE: NG) shares. My fellow Fools have a deep pool of affection for National Grid, a natural monopoly with regulated earnings, ensuring solid cash flows and a reliable dividend income stream. Historically, it has also delivered steady share price appreciation. Just not recently. Last year, I woke up to the dangers. In May, the board announced an unexpected £7bn equity raise to fund an ambitious £60bn infrastructure investment plan over five years to March 2029. That’s nearly double…

President Trump vowed to eliminate Social Security benefit taxes during his 2024 campaign. Now, Representative Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) has introduced a bill to do just that. It’s far from a done deal, but if it passes, it could save the typical senior household…
