Image source: Getty Images The past year has been a catastrophic period for Greggs‘ (LSE:GRG) share price. Down more than 40%, the baker’s slumped as enduring pressure on consumers’ wallets — and more recently warm weather — have hit sales of its sausage rolls, pasties and sweet treats. Greggs’ fresh update today (1 October) revealed more of the same generally speaking, with like-for-like sales growing just 1.5% in the 13 weeks to 27 September. Turnover was up 2.2% in the year to date, revealing that, for now at least, the breakneck sales growth it previously enjoyed remains elusive. Yet investors…

Image source: Getty Images On 24 September, the JD Sports Fashion (LSE:JD.) share price closed 0.7% lower, at 87.9p, after the group released its results for the 26 weeks ended 2 August. Compared to the same period in 2024, the sports and leisure retailer reported a 20% increase in sales and a 9.5% rise in pre-tax profit. But look closer… However, this includes the full six-month impact of two acquisitions. On a like-for-like basis, sales were down 2.5%. The lukewarm response of investors appears to reflect concerns about this lack of top-line growth. Although the group’s share price has risen…

For the first time in UN climate negotiations, carbon dioxide removal (CDR) will have its own dedicated space. The COP30 Presidency has confirmed the creation of the CDR30 Pavilion, a landmark pavilion inside the UNFCCC Blue Zone in Belém, Brazil, placing carbon removals at the heart of global climate diplomacy.Coordinated by the Negative Emissions Platform (NEP) and supported through CDR30: The Global CDR Initiative at COP30, the pavilion is backed by more than 90 organizations spanning companies, NGOs, research bodies, investors, and philanthropies.The IPCC has made clear that achieving net-zero is impossible without large-scale carbon removals. Scientific assessments show the…
Nvidia’s (NASDAQ: NVDA) share price continues to move higher. This year, it’s climbed from $134 to $187 – a gain of about 40%. Wondering what level the chip stock could get to in the medium term? Here’s my share price forecast for 2026. Huge demand for its GPUs Before crunching the numbers, it’s worth looking at the backdrop here. Because it’s quite remarkable. Nvidia designs high-powered chips (GPUs) for artificial intelligence (AI). And right now, tech companies like OpenAI (ChatGPT), Meta Platforms, Alphabet, and Oracle can’t get enough of them. Recently, I was listening to an interview with OpenAI CEO…
Image source: Getty Images BAE Systems (LSE: BA) share price is trading around an all-time high at £20.59. This marks a 243% increase from its opening price on 24 February 2022 when Russia invaded Ukraine. And over this year alone it has risen 80% from its 6 January traded low of £11.44. However, experience has taught me that a share’s price and value are different things. I spent several years as a senior investment bank trader and three decades so far as a private investor. Price is just the figure that markets are willing to pay for a stock at…
Image source: Getty Images There’s never a dull moment with Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) shares. And while that isn’t always a good thing, there’s no arguing with the fact the stock was a terrific asset for investors in September. The share price climbed 34% last month and the reasons are interesting to say the least. But the big issue for investors is where the company goes from here. Buying The straightforward reason any stock goes up is that demand from buyers is outstripping supply from sellers. But there’s been an interesting dynamic with Tesla in the last few weeks. When company insiders…

Image source: Getty Images Gold has had a specular run this year, rising more than 40%. Experts believe it can go higher though – according to Goldman Sachs it could hit $5,000 per ounce in 2026 if US Federal Reserve independence is comprised. Now, there’s no guarantee that the precious metal will go to $5,000 next year, of course. However, if it does, I’d expect UK gold stocks to soar. Leveraged plays on gold When gold prices are rising, gold mining stocks often provide bigger gains than the commodity itself. This is because they benefit from operational leverage. Typically, gold…
Image source: Rolls-Royce plc The Rolls-Royce Holdings (LSE:RR.) share price is currently (1 October) at a level that values the group at just under £100bn. It’s now the FTSE 100’s fifth-most valuable company. Five years ago, I don’t think many people would have predicted that. Since October 2020, the aerospace and defence group’s share price has risen close to 3,000%. During this period, questions have been repeatedly asked (including by me) about whether the stock is overvalued. But after the company kept upgrading its earnings forecasts, I eventually took a position in the fourth quarter of 2024. I’m now sitting…
