[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images The appeal of penny shares for investors is often the hope of buying something for much less than it is worth. One share in my portfolio typifies that right now, I reckon. Logistics Development Group (LSE: LDG) has a share price of around 14p. But its net asset value (NAV) per share, at the end of June, was 26.7p per share. Can that really be the possible bargain it seems? Value is locked up, for now There are a couple of points it is helpful to understand. That NAV estimate is already from a few…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images With the FTSE 100 at a record high, it’s become a bit trickier to spot undervalued UK stocks. Therefore, it might be a good idea to look at unloved sectors, as many shares in these will be down by default. Babies being thrown out with the bath water, as it were. Some unloved areas right now include renewable energy, small-caps, REITs, housebuilders, and retail stocks. There will undoubtedly be lucrative opportunities hiding in plain sight in these spaces. For me though, one sector that looks undervalued from a long-term perspective is healthcare. This area’s been…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images FTSE 100 dividend income stocks are a wonder to behold. Some yield as much as 7% or 8% a year, and that’s only part of their charm. When conditions are right, they can also generate plenty of capital growth on top. Investors shouldn’t expect them to behave like whizzy growth shares though. Their capital returns tend to come in bursts, and there are times when prices will stagnate or fall. Yet with luck, the dividends should keep rolling in, and if reinvested the returns can compound nicely over time. No guarantees, of course, which is why…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images A stock jumped 14% in my ISA portfolio yesterday (30 October). Normally this would be great, but strangely I felt nothing. That’s because the share — Moderna (NASDAQ:MRNA) — was already struggling badly. In fact, even after this double-digit rise, I’m still down 78% on my investment. It’s fitting that it’s Halloween today, because this one has been a horror show for me. But at least it might now be coming to an end. Pipeline problems Moderna made a fortune from its mRNA vaccine during the pandemic. With this windfall, it invested heavily to develop…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images The Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) after-hours share price was in sprightly form as investors reacted to an(other) encouraging set of quarterly numbers from the US tech titan on Thursday (30 October). Revenue came in at $102.5bn. That’s an increase of 8% on that achieved one year ago. But it was also a bit higher than analysts had been expecting. As normal, iPhone sales made up a significant proportion of that figure. Their contribution of $49bn was an improvement of roughly 6% on the previous financial year. And Apple’s bottom line? Well, profit hit $27.5bn. No wonder…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images With November almost upon us, now is a time when many investors will be considering what moves to make in their ISA or Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP). Here are a couple of shares I think investors should consider in the coming month. Greggs High street baker Greggs (LSE: GRG) has thousands of shops, a loyal customer following and compelling value proposition for customers. Still, that has not been enough to help bolster the share price lately. Greggs shares are now 41% below where they started the year. That means Greggs now trades on a price-to-earnings…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images A couple of years ago, I added a brilliant FTSE 100 income share to my Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP). Yet at the time, investors didn’t seem to think it was so brilliant. The shares were struggling, and the yield appeared too good to be true at around 10%. Sky-high rates of income are often a warning sign. Yields are calculated by dividing the dividend per share by the share price. When the share price falls the dividend soars through simple maths. This can also leave the board scrambling to generate enough cash to satisfy investors.…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Think of where to find high-yield dividend stocks in the blue-chip FTSE 100 index of leading shares and attention often turns to the financial services sector. Firms like M&G and Legal & General are known for their juicy dividend yields. One area that may not come to mind so fast is packaging. But packaging company Mondi (LSE: MNDI) currently offers a 7.1% yield. Could this be a dividend stock for income-focussed investors to consider? Long-term share price decline Looking at the past few years, it can become clearer why the Mondi dividend yield has crept…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images What goes up must come down, and that old saying must surely apply to Rolls-Royce (LSE: RR) shares. No stock flies upwards in a straight line forever, although the FTSE 100 aircraft engine maker is doing its best. Yet after the gains we’ve seen, some flattening is surely inevitable. The share price is up an awe-inspiring 1,535% over five years and 110% in the past 12 months. Yet investors coming to Rolls-Royce today should probably accept that they’re not going to make a life-changing fortune by purchasing now. The market cap is nudging £100bn. If…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images There’s a FTSE 250 growth share that keeps slipping through my fingers, and it’s driving me mad. Anglers will know the feeling – it’s the one that got away. I’ve had a few over the years, but this one really hurts. I’m talking about family-run engineering group Goodwin (LSE: GDWN). I last wrote about Goodwin for The Motley Fool on 28 September, saying it was the first share I’d buy if markets dipped. Back then, I thought I’d missed the boat. Since then, the boat’s not only sailed, it’s powered off into the sunset. Goodwin…
