[ad_1] Sea Limited (NYSE:SE) isn’t in the S&P 500, yet investors often compare it to one of the index’s big beasts — Amazon. Specifically, it gets called the ‘Amazon of Southeast Asia’. Unlike Amazon however, Sea’s stock isn’t near an all-time high. Because despite surging 261% in the past two years, it’s still 63% below a peak reached in late 2021. Let’s take a closer look at the ‘Amazon of Southeast Asia’ to see why I think this growth stock is worth considering buying today. Riding multiple growth waves Singapore-headquartered Sea is a technology conglomerate with three digital platforms: e-commerce…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images The FTSE 100 may have been volatile lately, but it’s still flirting with record highs. One company, battered and bruised after a couple of rough years, might now be engineering one of the most fascinating comeback stories in recent memory. Transformation The company in question is miner Anglo American (LSE: AAL). For years, it was criticised as a sprawling conglomerate struggling to define its identity. It’s now in the middle of a multi-year transformation, refocusing on premium iron ore and copper. This year, it spun off its platinum group metals business into Valterra Platinum and…
[ad_1] On paper, Austin has a long way to go towards Vision Zero. At least 75 people have died on the road in each of the 10 years since the Texas capital formally pledged to eliminate traffic fatalities and serious injuries; in 2024, 97 people were killed, an uptick of seven deaths from the year prior that city transportation officials say was avoidable and unacceptable.As those same officials look back over the last decade, though, they also say there’s a deeper story behind the statistics that deserves to be heard — especially by those growing impatient with the country’s slow progress…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images On Thursday (20 November), the Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) share price opened 4% up, and then was 2% down by the end of the trading day. That might not sound that significant. But it’s huge. This is a company with a $4.5trn valuation. These are huge inflows and outflows of money. Thursday’s share price action followed Nvidia’s results — released on Wednesday evening after the market closed. The earnings report was originally taken well, with the shares up more than 6% in after hours trading. So what’s happened? And what changed? Several theories In truth, no one…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Some of the best dividend stocks I own are on the FTSE 100. But that doesn’t mean low-cap cheap shares on the UK market can’t deliver decent income. In fact, there are some surprisingly high yields on the FTSE All-Share and AIM index. But are they worth the risk? Let’s take a look. Taylor Wimpey One of the UK’s largest property developers, Taylor Wimpey (LSE: TW.) has seen its dividend yield climb above 9% this year. That follows a 20% share price decline, bringing the shares down to 99p each. But with earnings expected to…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images The festive season is an interesting time for the stock market, presenting unique opportunities for shares to buy while other companies take leave. Naturally, retail and e-commerce businesses see the largest boost, while tourism and luxury-related stocks also tend to benefit. Here are three stocks that I think are worth considering as Christmas draws closer. All three have historically done well during previous festive periods. Marks and Spencer Marks and Spencer (LSE: MKS) is known for its higher-end Christmas food and gifts, with its London flagship store famously lit up during the season. But it’s…
[ad_1] There seems to be lots of speculation among investors at the moment as to whether a stock market crash is looming. Many believe there are similarities between the current enthusiasm for all-things artificial intelligence (AI) and the bursting of the dotcom bubble in 2000. And as the manufacturer of the semiconductors that underpin the AI industry, Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) is seen as a barometer for the health of the sector and for the stock market in general. That’s why all eyes were on the group’s earnings update last Wednesday (19 November). Prior to publication, there appeared to be a widely-held…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images The stock market operates in cycles, and that’s certainly the case for almost all FTSE 250 stocks. Businesses that have thrived for years can suddenly turn from massive winners into painful losers and vice versa. And that’s definitely been the case for Safestore Holdings (LSE:SAFE). While running a network of self-storage facilities doesn’t sound like a particularly lucrative business model, it proved to be extremely cash-generative. So much so, that between 2012 and 2022, the capital gains and dividends combined generated a jaw-dropping 1,800% total return. Just to put that into perspective, it’s the equivalent…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images When exploring the track records of FTSE 100 stocks, few come close their the stellar performance of Diploma (LSE:DPLM). Over the last 25 years, through a combination of organic and acquisitive growth, the industrial technologies group successfully integrated itself at the heart of the aerospace, healthcare, renewables, infrastructure, and industrial automation industries. The result? Since November 2000, the share price has increased by 11,091%. But this return has more than doubled for anyone who intelligently reinvested dividends paid along the way, unlocking a total return of 22,612%. Just to put that into perspective, that means…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images One of the best features of Stocks and Shares ISAs is that they offer access to high-growth investments. It’s therefore possible to generate very attractive long-term returns. Here, I’m going to highlight three investment trusts that have delivered incredible returns for investors over the long run and can be held inside ISA accounts. I believe all three are worth considering today as part of a diversified portfolio. Run by a top stock picker First up, we have Pershing Square Holdings (LSE: PSH). This is run by billionaire Bill Ackman, who is widely regarded as one…
