Even though we might think this is expensive when compared to the FTSE 100, it’s an index made up of high-growth stocks, with a good portion from the tech sector. Yet, when trying to hunt around for good value picks, here are two with ratios below the average. Semiconductor focus First up is Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM). It’s a US-based semiconductor and telecommunications equipment company, with a share price down 4% over the past year.

THE Department of Energy (DOE) has issued a framework policy for generating, managing and monitoring carbon credits in the energy sector — allowing new opportunities for stakeholders and mobilizing investments in clean energy projects. The policy, the DOE said, serves as the foundational instrument in guiding energy stakeholders among the private sector in accessing carbon finance, preparing for future carbon market mechanisms and coordinating the sector’s actions through a dedicated DOE Task Force on Energy Carbon Credits.A carbon credit is equal to 1 metric ton of carbon dioxide or its equivalent in other greenhouse gases that has been removed from…
Image source: Getty Images A FTSE 100 income stock with an ultra-high dividend yield is always tempting, but demands careful thought. It’s an investment truth universally acknowledged that a yield of 7% or 8% must be approached with caution. Dividends are calculated by taking the dividend per share and dividing it by the share price. So if the share price falls, the yield automatically climbs. High yields can therefore suggest a struggling underlying business. The average yield across the FTSE 100 is 3.25%. When a dividend hits 7%, 8%, or higher, alarm bells can ring. But there’s no hard and fast rule.…

That’s almost 53%, smashing any savings account in the world. Shares are riskier than cash, but this shows the potential rewards are so much greater. Over five years, HSBC shares have done even better, up a staggering 230% with dividends on top.…

Air New Zealand has made its first major carbon credit purchase, acquiring 8,000 tonnes of carbon removal credits from native forest projects, a cautious step into a market it had long resisted. The credits were purchased through a partnership with the local firm My Native Forest. Kiri Hannifin, Air New Zealand’s chief sustainability and corporate affairs officer, said that the airline had “waited a long time” to make its first purchase because of concerns over the credibility of many carbon credit schemes. “There has been a lot of cynicism raised around some of the quality of carbon removal schemes around…
