Image source: Getty Images Shares in Compass Group (LSE:CPG) are down 6% since the start of the year. That’s hardly a crash, but shares in the FTSE 100 company are trading at an unusually low valuation at the moment. I’m a big admirer of the business, its competitive position, and its growth record. So I’m wondering whether this might be my opportunity to add the stock to my portfolio. Valuation Right now, Compass Group shares are trading at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of around 40.

Image source: Getty Images I had a shock this morning when I checked my SIPP and saw the Taylor Wimpey (LSE: TW) share price had fallen by 4.7%. It wasn’t results day for the FTSE 100 housebuilder but then I remembered, it had gone ex-dividend.

A sky-high yield like this one is hugely tempting, but it can also be…

HSBC’s share price is still up an impressive 28% in the year to date. I’m wondering if today’s pullback represents an…

In 1980, Duke University scientist Dr. Curtis Richardson convened a first-of-its-kind conference on pocosin peatlands. In the decades that followed, Dr. Richardson’s research revealed that pocosin peatlands could actually store carbon if they were restored. Then, in 2023, nature-based solutions company Pantheon Regeneration partnered with Dr. Richardson to develop the first commercial peatland restoration project in the US. At the heart of its commercial ethos lies a familiar yet controversial instrument – carbon credits. In September this year AXA IM Alts – an alternative assets manager – announced a private equity investment into Pantheon. Backing not just Pantheon’s team, that…
