Cibus Carbon is targeting a fundraising of between A$200 million ($132 million; €112 million) and A$300 million and aims to deliver 11,250,000 Australian Carbon Credit Units over a 30-year period.

Petrie told Agri Investor the fund strategy originated from an understanding of how to get the highest…

Image source: Getty Images For investors looking to build long-term wealth, there are some terrific opportunities in UK growth stocks right now. Or at least, that’s what some analysts think. Even the best companies run into temporary difficulties every so often. And when they do, it can be a good time to take a look at them as potential buying opportunities. London Stock Exchange Group The average analyst price target for The London Stock Exchange Group (LSE:LSEG) is around 50% above the current share price. And the lowest is almost 33% higher. It’s easy to see why. The company has…
New Delhi: Alternative investments are financial assets that don’t fall into the usual categories of stocks, bonds, or cash. They include things like private equity, hedge funds, real estate, commodities, private debt, and even collectibles such as fine art. These assets often work differently from traditional markets. Because of this, they can help investors reduce risk through diversification — when stocks fall, alternatives may hold steady or even rise. Why Investors Look at Alternatives For many investors, the biggest advantage of alternative assets is their low correlation with traditional markets. They don’t always rise and fall in line with stock…

Image source: Getty Images On the stock market, micro-cap shares are often a lottery. They can vanish into obscurity for years, only to suddenly roar back to life on a single announcement. That’s exactly what’s just happened with ImmuPharma (LSE: IMM), a small biotech that’s spent most of the past five years languishing under the radar. The company is focused on discovering and developing peptide-based therapeutics. Its flagship candidate is Lupuzor (P140), a treatment being developed for lupus and potentially other autoimmune conditions. The company briefly caught fire in late 2017 and early 2018 when excitement over Lupuzor was running…
Image source: Getty Images For several years up until recently, energy giant BP (LSE: BP) was known as a good passive income stock. This is money made with minimal effort, most notably in my experience from share dividends. More specifically, in the five or so years up to the collapse of oil prices in early 2020, it was routinely yielding over 7%. By the end of 2021, BP’s dividend yield was averaging under 5%. It has remained on the lower side of recent historical averages as the firm pumped resources into energy transition programmes. However, coinciding with a strategic reset…
Editor’s note: A version of this article originally appeared on State Smart Transportation Initiative and is republished with permission. To reduce traffic deaths, public transit should be seen as a core part of safety infrastructure, not just an alternative mode of travel. Every day, thousands of car crashes occur in the U.S., resulting in injury or death, yet they receive far less attention than the much rarer crashes involving public transit. For city planners working to reduce roadway fatalities, understanding how these perceptions influence travel choices is critical. As Todd Litman, executive director of the Victoria Transport Policy Institute, explained in…
Image source: Getty Images Lloyds (LSE: LLOY) share price is only a couple of pennies off its 16 September one-year high of 84p. This level had not previously been seen since July 2015. However, it is important to remember that a stock’s price and value are not the same thing. Its price is whatever the market is willing to pay for it at any given moment. But its value is founded on key fundamentals relating to the underlying business. In this sense, price is largely irrelevant to my long-term investment decisions: it is value in which I am interested. Is…
Image source: Getty Images Dividend investing has always been a balancing act. On the one hand, rising share prices are a welcome sign of confidence in the market. On the other, they can strip formerly attractive FTSE shares of their once-generous yields. Many popular dividend names now look stretched, leaving income investors in search of alternatives. British American Tobacco is a good example. Once considered a dividend darling, its yield has now slipped below 6% while its price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio has ballooned above 28. That looks expensive for a business still wrestling with declining cigarette demand and regulatory hurdles. Property…
