[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images With UK stocks coming back into fashion at the moment, it’s tempting to think that the best opportunities have been missed. But city experts reckon there are two stocks that have huge growth potential over the next year or so. Unlikely? Let’s try and find out. A gift? Card Factory (LSE:CARD) is a common sight on the UK high street. But in December 2025, the card and gift retailer issued a profit warning. Even with the group positioning itself at the value end of the market, it doesn’t seem to have escaped the impact of…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images The Barclays (LSE: BARC) share price is a thing of wonder. It’s up 57% in the last year and 233% over two. The financial crisis is finally a fading memory. This is also a fantastic demonstration of how FTSE 100 stocks can deliver when they get their act together. It’s now the UK’s 12th-biggest company with a market cap of £65bn. But has it gone as far as it can? Yesterday (10 February) Barclays reported full-year profit before tax of £9.1bn, up 12% year on year, narrowly beating analyst expectations. It also rewarded shareholders with…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images A lot of tech stocks in the S&P 500 index have been hammered recently. Some have fallen more than 25% in the space of a month. Looking for stocks that are oversold? Here are three worth checking out. The definition of oversold The technical definition of an oversold stock is one that has a ‘relative strength index’ or RSI of less than 30. The RSI is a technical analysis indicator that measures the magnitude of recent share price movements. Now, one stock that fits the bill here is Salesforce (NYSE: CRM), which specialises in customer…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images UK shares have had a great 12 months but there are still plenty of cheap real estate investment trusts (REITs) offering generous returns to consider. With a 7.3% yield, the one that stands out to me is Supermarket Income REIT (LSE:SUPR). It means anyone investing £20,000 in the stock could earn £1,460 in passive income this year, equivalent to £122 a month. But does this make it a fabulous opportunity for income investors? Let’s see. What does it do? In common with many REITs, Supermarket Income has a simple business model. It buys properties –…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images As many income investors know, the FTSE 100 hosts some of the UK’s most popular dividend shares. But I typically look further afield when hunting for the most rewarding yields. On the mid-cap FTSE 250 or smaller AIM index, I tend to find higher yields on average. Yes, these require more careful consideration of the risks involved, but the pay-off can be lucrative. Here are three high-yielding stocks worth looking at that have had a tough time since Covid. But now they not only offer lucrative income but exhibit signs of a potential recovery in…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Up 4.37% year-to-date, the FTSE 100 appears to be outpacing most major global stock markets. Earlier this week, it cracked a new record high above 10,480 points. The Dow Jones is close behind with a 3.62% gain, while the S&P 500 is lagging, up only 1.55% this year. Meanwhile, China’s SSE 50 is down 0.37%. This may be great news for British growth hunters but what does it mean for those seeking value? Still value to be found If you’re a value investor, don’t give up hope yet. There’s still a wealth of undervalued bargains…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images With valuations where they are, it’s either an amazing time to buy software stocks or a terrible one. And in an interview last week, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang gave his view. According to Huang, falling software share prices are “the most illogical thing in the world”. So is this a once-in-a-generation buying opportunity for investors? Software stocks have been falling sharply over the last year. One example is Adobe, which is down 40% in the last 12 months. The concern is that artificial intelligence (AI) is going to disrupt the business. But at an AI…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Is the stock market going to crash? It might seem a strange question to ask, given the S&P 500 and FTSE 100 are both still riding high. However, all’s not well under the surface, with the software component of the S&P 500 down by around 30% since October. This has been dubbed the ‘SaaSpocalypse’. Meanwhile, FTSE 100 data companies such as Experian, Sage (LSE:SGE), London Stock Exchange Group, and RELX haven’t been spared. All have bombed 35% or more over the past year. According to Deutsche Bank, this sudden sell-off has echoes of the early…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Amazing things are happening with Ceres Power (LSE: CWR) shares. The share price in the green energy stock is up 531% since April last year. Analysts’ forecasts are getting upgraded, and the company has re-entered the FTSE 250. Keen observers will note we’re still some distance from all-time highs. The current 303p share price looks tiny compared to previous highs of 1,576p in 2021 and 2,612p all the way back in 2007. What’s going on here? And could Ceres Power shares be one of the London Stock Exchange‘s best bargains? Let’s have a quick refresher…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Lloyds (LSE: LLOY) shares finally broke above the 100p mark just over a month ago, sending waves of optimism through the UK market. The bank not only survived last year’s motor financing probe but has consistently shrugged off looming interest rate cut fears. Yet despite all that, it now looks likely to lose the key level. A January rally sent the price surging 14%, eventually peaking at 112p in early February. But it has since fallen 9% and is barely hovering above 100p (as of 10 February). Could this signal the end of a spectacular…
