Image source: Getty Images Forget the summer holidays. The stock market remains open and although August can sometimes be a sleepy month for stocks, the current earnings season and geopolitical headlines have made it a busy one for 2025. For the Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) share price, the coming couple of weeks could be key for the future direction of the stock. Here’s why. Upcoming earnings report Nvidia is expected to release its quarterly earnings on August 27. I believe it’ll be one of the most closely watched events of the season. Investors are eager to see whether the company can justify…

CONTRIBUTED GRAPHICS — Renderings available on the West Marshall bond issue website show the concepts for the new two-story elementary building on Main Street (top) and the Career and Technical Education (CTE) wing at the middle school/high school building. The $14 million bond referendum that will be on the Nov. 4 ballot is identical to the one that fell short of a 60 percent supermajority with 56 percent support in the 2024 election. STATE CENTER — If at first you don’t succeed, pick yourself up and try again. After last year’s $14 million bond issue fell short of a 60…

Image source: Getty Images When I make an investment in my Stocks and Shares ISA, I do so with a long-term horizon. That’s five years, or ideally much longer. However, that doesn’t mean I blindly hold onto shares, come what may. I will exit a holding if my investment thesis is broken. Or I see better potential opportunities elsewhere. With this in mind, here are three stocks I recently sold, and why. A pleasant surprise The first was British American Tobacco (LSE:BATS). I was surprised when I found myself attracted to this FTSE 100 dividend share early last year. I’d…
Image source: Getty Images When it comes to growth, the conversation usually circles back to the US. However, while the S&P 500‘s been the benchmark for global markets for years, in 2025 UK shares are competing toe-to-toe with their American rivals. In fact, some are comfortably outpacing the pack. So I’ve identified two FTSE 100 stocks to consider that not only hold their own but are also making significant moves this year. That said, for now, I prefer one to the other. Airtel Africa Airtel Africa‘s (LSE: AAF) a wireless telecommunications provider serving 14 countries across the continent. It’s not…
Image source: Getty Images Monitoring the trading activity of professional fund managers can be a good way to identify stocks to buy. After all, these investors tend to do a lot of research before investing in a company (and have to answer to their clients if they get it wrong). Here, I’m going to highlight three shares that were snapped up by pros in the second quarter of 2025. Are they worth considering today? UnitedHealth First up, we have UnitedHealth (NYSE: UNH), the largest health insurer in the world. This stock was bought by a range of top investors in…
Image source: Getty Images The Marks & Spencer (LSE:MKS) share price is at the same level as six months ago. This was hailed as a growth stock last year, when the retailer’s transformation strategy started to boost finances. Yet it’s been treading water in recent months, which could put off some new investors who could be fearful that the best has already happened. Here’s my take. Dealing with headwinds I can see several factors that have influenced the underwhelming performance in recent months. In April, the business suffered a devastating ransomware cyberattack. Hackers took down its online operations and click-and-collect…
Image source: Getty Images Tesco’s (LSE: TSCO) share price has risen 34% from its 10 April one-year traded low of £3.10. This leaves it just 4% off its 24 July 12-month high of £4.31. And the last time that level was seen was January 2011. This does not necessarily mean no value remains in the stock. After all, price and value are not the same thing. Price is whatever the market will pay for a stock at any given time. Value is the true worth of the share, derived from the underlying business’s fundamentals. Understanding this difference and being able…
Image source: Getty Images Passive income can provide life-changing regular dividend payments. These can be used to make life better before retirement or as a means of retiring early. And all of this can be done with little effort from the investor – hence the ‘passive’ label. One of my core holdings to achieve this is FTSE 100 insurance and investment giant Legal & General (LSE: LGEN). It pays one of the highest dividend yields in any leading FTSE index. Its significant discount to fair value helps reduce the risk of share price losses affecting these returns. And extraordinary earnings…
