Image source: Getty Images Being a buy-to-let landlord in the UK has arguably never been more difficult. But it’s still possible for investors to earn a second income through real estate. Real estate investment trusts (REITs) are companies that own and lease property. And they distribute the rent they collect to shareholders, providing a source of passive income.

By Julia Payne and Joanna Plucinska BRUSSELS (Reuters) -Ryanair will have to revise down its passenger traffic estimates for next year because of expected aircraft delivery delays from Boeing (NYSE:), the budget airline’s group CEO Michael O’Leary told Reuters on Wednesday. “We were supposed to get 20 deliveries before the end of December. They’ll probably come now in January and February, and that’s fine. We’ll have them in time for next summer. The big issue for Ryanair is we’re due 30 aircraft in March, April, May and June of next year, and how many of those will we get?” O’Leary…
By Toby Sterling and Nathan VifflinAMSTERDAM (Reuters) – Investors and analysts are reviewing their assessments of computer chip equipment maker ASML, they said on Wednesday, after the company cut 2025 financial guidance, citing weakness in markets other than AI and delayed orders.The position of ASML, Europe’s most valuable technology company, as an essential supplier to chipmakers is not in question. But doubts have emerged over its short term sales, and, for the longer term, whether it can continue to outgrow the overall market.Tuesday’s change to guidance triggered the biggest selloff in ASML’s shares in two decades.Shares fell another 4.9% to…

Image source: Getty Images UK housebuilders have been hit hard by both rising interest rates and the cost-of-living crisis. But the long-term outlook remains strong, so I’ve been searching for a FTSE 100 stock to buy in the sector. Vistry had been on my radar due to its differentiated business model where it partners with housing associations, local authorities and the private rented sector. However, the share price crashed 27% last week when the firm said higher build costs in one of its divisions would mean lower profits. Given the magnitude of this error — profits will be £115m lower…

Investing.com — Shares of Whitbread plc (LON:) surged following the release of its first-half 2025 results. At 5:10 am (0910 GMT), Whitbread was trading 5% higher at £3,228. Whitbread reported total sales of £1.57 billion for the first half of 2025, slightly below the consensus estimate of £1.579 billion and in line with UBS projections of £1.568 billion. This minor revenue miss was viewed in a broader context, as the slight shortfall did not significantly alter the market’s view of the company’s overall trajectory. Similarly, profit before tax was reported at £340 million, which was again just below the market…
In This StoryArtificial intelligence is dramatically changing industries, from banking to healthcare. When it comes to investing, it’s getting rid of one of the most burdensome human attributes: anxiety.Doug Clinton, chief executive of Intelligent Alpha, an investment firm that uses AI to build strategies, told Quartz that “unemotional intelligence” is AI’s superpower — and is what will set it apart from traditional investors and strategists.“What we’ve seen in terms of why AI seems to perform well, at least in our estimation from our tests, is that it doesn’t get hung up when the market’s going down,” Clinton said on the…
Image source: Getty Images The SSE (LSE:SSE) share price has significantly outperformed the FTSE 100 over the past five years. Since October 2019, it’s risen by 46%, compared to 15% for the index as a whole. Given that the company is a developer, builder and operator of electricity infrastructure assets this impressive performance isn’t surprising to me. In difficult times — remember, there’s been Brexit, a pandemic and rampant inflation during this period — risk-averse investors generally switch to defensive stocks, such as those operating in the regulated energy sector. The transition to net zero SSE likes to parade its…
