Image source: Getty Images The Unilever (LSE: ULVR) share price has barely budged after today’s first-half results, with the stock market reacting with a familiar lack of excitement to another mixed update from the FTSE 100 giant. That feels par for the course. Unilever shares are down 5.8% over the last 12 months and 4.2% over five years. Not exactly thrilling for a business of this size and reputation. Personally, I’m relieved. I gave up on Unilever back in March and dropped the stock from my Self-Invested Personal Pension. Today’s numbers haven’t made me regret the move. Growth steady Unilever’s headline numbers weren’t awful.…

Image source: Getty Images A few years ago everyone thought the oil sector was on its last legs, and the Shell (LSE: SHEL) share price was down in the dumps. But we’ve seen a resurgence since the lows of 2020, and in the past five years it’s soared 130%. First-half results on Thursday (31 July) make me think Shell shares might still be cheap. Adjusted earnings in the half fell 30% year on year to $9.84bn, largely due to a spell of lower oil prices. But the $4.26bn recorded for the second quarter comfortably beat analyst expectations for $3.87bn. We’ll…

Image source: Getty Images Next (LSE: NXT) shares were slightly down this morning despite the retailer delivering a very positive update on trading to the market. But I’m not sure many investors will be complaining given then great run of form witnessed in 2025 so far. Sales jump higher than expected Let’s look at those headline numbers first. Supported by the very hot weather we’ve seen over the last couple of months, full price sales rose 10.5% in the 13 weeks to 26 July. This was more than £49m ahead of previous guidance (growth of 6.5%). Interestingly, Next also attributed…

In today’s data-driven investment environment, the quality, availability, and specificity of data can make or break a strategy. Yet investment professionals routinely face limitations: historical datasets may not capture emerging risks, alternative data is often incomplete or prohibitively expensive, and open-source models and datasets are skewed toward major markets and English-language content. As firms seek more adaptable and forward-looking tools, synthetic data — particularly  when derived from generative AI (GenAI) — is emerging as a strategic asset, offering new ways to simulate market scenarios, train machine learning models, and backtest investing strategies. This post explores how GenAI-powered synthetic data is…

Interactive Brokers Group (NASDAQ:IBKR) continues to ride powerful tailwinds in 2025. The stock is up about 44% year to date. The company reported second-quarter 2025 earnings that beat expectations on both revenue and profit, sending shares up in post-market trading. In my previous analysis, I argued that there would be fewer rate cuts than the market was demanding, along with the push to acquire retail investors would be the next set of tailwinds. That call looks right so far. Net revenue beat again, daily average revenue trades (DARTs) jumped 49% year over year (YoY), and much more. In this article,…

Amid the global push for net-zero emissions, carbon markets are in the spotlight — and Africa has emerged as a key arena for offset projects. This is driven by the growing demand for carbon credits, coupled with the continent’s natural resources, particularly its forests and other ecosystems that serve as valuable carbon sinks.  Despite the billions of dollars in green investments pouring into Africa, the carbon market remains unclear, with verification loopholes and questionable impact on local communities. For instance, the Kariba REDD+ project, launched in 2011, has generated over €100 million since its inception by selling carbon credits; however,…
