With a stake of £10,000, the current 8.40% yield would net a £840 yearly passive income. For context, the current Footsie average stands at 3.24% which is nearly a third of the Phoenix yield. Is the payment sustainable? The forecasts suggest so. Given the unpredictable nature of stock markets, we don’t like to look too far into the future when looking at forecasts, but three years ahead is somewhat reliable. Analysts are expecting…

Image source: Getty Images There’s a FTSE 250 stock I absolutely love. I was planning to buy it before its recent results on 30 July, but bungled my timing. By the time I realised they were out, the shares were heading skywards after pre-tax profits jumped 47% to £35.5m on revenue of £220m. Defence and nuclear markets were particularly strong.

Nowadays he would not have his portfolio concentrated in a single share, as he did after his first share purchase. A lot of what he has learned, including such diversification, can be helpful when it comes to thinking about how to try and build stock market wealth from a standing start. Knowing what…

The board of First United Corporation (NASDAQ:FUNC) has announced that the dividend on 3rd of November will be increased to $0.26, which will be 18% higher than last year’s payment of $0.22 which covered the same period. This takes the annual payment to 2.3% of the current stock price, which unfortunately is below what the industry is paying. AI is about to change healthcare. These 20 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part – they are all under $10bn in marketcap – there is still time to get in early. While yield is…

Image source: Getty Images Incredibly, Rolls-Royce (LSE: RR) shares are up 2,127% in the last five years. Somebody who had invested £10,000 at the start of that run would have an astonishing £222,700 today.  No UK blue-chip comes close to matching its upwards velocity. It’s one of the most astonishing FTSE 100 share price recoveries in my investment lifetime, and it doesn’t appear to be over yet. Over the last 12 months, the Rolls-Royce share price is still one of the best performers on the FTSE 100, climbing 124%. FTSE 100 defence heroes This turbo-charged performance is down to a…
