[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:PLTR) stock has arguably been one of the highest-profile success stories of the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution, alongside Nvidia. Since ChatGPT was unleashed in late 2022, Palantir shares have skyrocketed more than 2,500%! But in recent days, Michael Burry has been warning about an AI bubble. He’s famous for spotting and profiting from the 2008 housing bubble (memorably portrayed in The Big Short movie). In fact, Burry has put his money where his mouth is and has bet against both Palantir and Nvidia. According to regulatory filings, his hedge fund has bought put options…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images I asked ChatGPT to pick a dividend share that might suit a cautious investor aged 60 looking for income without taking too much risk. As retirement approaches, most investors won’t want to gamble with their capital. I was curious to see what artificial intelligence (AI) might produce, but I wasn’t at all surprised by the answer. ChatGPT doesn’t have a brain of its own, it simply summarises what’s on the web. So its choice was always going to be one of the big FTSE 100 income stocks that investors generally rate. And so it proved,…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images The BP (LSE: BP.) share price has bounced back strongly after hitting a three-year low in April. With Q3 results out today (4 November) showing further signs of improvement, I believe investors are starting to regain confidence in the company’s future prospects. Q3 numbers BP reported an underlying replacement cost profit of $2.2bn, down around $200m from the previous quarter. The decline was largely due to a higher tax rate. Its refining division was the standout performer, delivering around $100m higher profit. That strength was driven by improved realised refining margins and the lowest level…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images In the FTSE 100, the Associated British Foods (LSE: ABF) share price is in the spotlight today (4 November), after the company announced it may split Primark and Food into two separate businesses. So, could this be the tonic that unlocks long-term shareholder value? The results The headline number from ABF’s FY25 results was a 13% drop in operating profit to £1.7bn, mainly due to a collapse in sugar prices. This sent the sugar division into loss-making territory. As a result, free cash flow more than halved to £648m, highlighting the impact on the group’s…

[ad_1] Image source: Rolls-Royce Holdings plc Rolls-Royce’s (LSE: RR) share price is trading its highest-ever levels. Consequently, some investors may think that the shares cannot possible rise any further. Others may think they have developed an unstoppable bullish momentum. What I think is that it is value, not price, that counts. The former is whatever the market will pay for a stock at any given time. But value reflects the true worth of the underlying business fundamentals over time. In Rolls-Royce’s case, I think the firm has been underpromising on what it can deliver in its forecasts. Consequently, I think…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images. More and more Britons are using artificial intelligence (AI) models to save and invest. So I’ve jumped on board and asked ChatGPT — by far the world’s most popular AI platform — which FTSE 100 stocks I should consider buying. The answers it gave were interesting. But they were also deeply troubling. Let me explain why. AI boom The number of people who are using the likes of ChatGPT to hit their financial goals is staggering.

[ad_1] If you own BP (LSE:BP.) shares like me, you’ll probably have taken an interest in the oil and gas producer’s third quarter (Q3 2025) results released this morning (4 November). In some respects, there should be no major surprises. That’s because the group always releases a pre-trading statement update – two or three weeks in advance — that gives a high-level overview of what to expect. The key numbers are the realised prices for the oil and gas that it sells. Its margin is also important. As a rule of thumb, a $1 movement in Brent crude affects the…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Given that I have at least 15 years until I stop working – and then hopefully many decades in retirement – my related portfolio is mainly focused on growth shares. I want to grow my money at the fastest rate possible in the years and decades ahead so that I have plenty of money later in life (and plenty to leave behind to future generations). Now, I’m pretty happy with the shares in my portfolio — many are soaring. However, I decided to ask ChatGPT for 10 ‘world-class’ growth shares (to hold for at least…

Across various sectors, companies are seeking to integrate it into their everyday activities to streamline operations and increase efficiency. When I examine different UK stocks, the ones that could benefit the most are likely to see share price gains. Here are two I’ve spotted. A fresh stimulus First up is Ocado (LSE:OCDO). I’ve not been the biggest fan of the company, as continued losses have pushed the share price lower and lower. Over the past year, the growth stock is down 37%. But my opinion’s…
