Image source: Getty Images Over the past five years Barclays (LSE: BARC) shares have more than trebled in price. The primary driver for improving fundamentals has been a widening gap between the interest the bank charges its borrowers compared to that paid out to savers. After selling out of my holdings a couple of months back, I’m wondering if I made a mistake. H1 results Total income for the blue-eagle bank surged 12% to £14.9bn in H1. Apart from its US consumer bank division, every business unit reported double-digit revenue increases. The standout performer was its investment banking division, which…

Carbon County is losing its grant coordinator. During the county commissioners’ meeting this month, the board approved the resignation of Valerie A. Saveri of Jim Thorpe, who has served in this position since last June. The commissioners each expressed that Saveri had been an asset to the county, finding several grants to help various department. “Val has proven, not only because of her work ethic, but the value of having a grant coordinator in Carbon County,” said Commissioners’ Chairman Mike Sofranko. “Val has taken that position to a level we thought would take years to get to. We know with…
Image source: Getty Images Ceres Power (LSE: CWR) burst into life on the London Stock Exchange Monday (28 July). The clean energy stock finished the session 44% higher, taking the one-month return above 80%! What’s caused this epic jump? And with the stock still 90% off a 2021 peak, might it be time for investors to consider getting involved? Milestone announcement Ceres creates innovative solid oxide fuel cell and electrolyser technology for use in clean power generation and green hydrogen production. Applications include artificial intelligence (AI) data centres, industrial buildings, electricity grid stabilisation, and marine power (as a cleaner alternative…
By Michael S. Derby (Reuters) -A U.S. senator’s recent push to strip the Federal Reserve of a key aspect of how it controls interest rates and the battle over who will succeed Fed Chair Jerome Powell point to a future where some of the tools policymakers use to influence the economy come under greater scrutiny. There’s no sense of imminent changes in the Fed’s monetary policy mechanics. But that may not always be the case, especially as President Donald Trump, a persistent critic of the central bank who wants it to reduce interest rates, prepares to name a successor for…
Image source: Getty Images As years go, 2025 will surely go down as one that owners of Greggs (LSE: GRG) shares will want to forget. The stock’s lost height again today, following the release of half-year numbers. Look out below! Total sales rose 7% in the 26 weeks to 28 June. While this may look pretty reasonable, the trading period was affected by lower footfall in areas where the company operates. Quite a lot of that was down to the seriously hot weather seen across the UK in June. Costs also played a role. Collectively, these variables pushed pre-tax profit…
Image source: Getty Images I suspect the ConvaTec Group (LSE: CTEC) share price has slipped under the radar for many investors. It had for me. Yet the company saw its shares climb 45% in the five years to June’s 52-week high of 311.2p. That was before a sharp dip to 238.8p at close on Monday (28 July) however. But we’re looking at a 1% rise at the time I write on first-half results morning (29 July). Progress since 2016 ConvaTec’s a medical products and technologies company, specialising in long-term care for wound, ostomy, incontinence and infusion patients. It floated on…
Image source: Getty Images The AstraZeneca (LSE: AZN) share price got a modest boost Tuesday morning (29 July) from first-half results, up 2% at the time of writing. It’s been effectively flat for around three years, so maybe the valuation had been getting a bit rich? The shares got a push from AstraZeneca’s vaccine efforts in the Covid pandemic. But they’d already been gaining prior to that. And the long-term rise has pushed the forecast price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio to 23 for the current year. Forecasts have it falling to under 17 by 2027 based on earnings growth, and that’s not…
Image source: Getty Images Taylor Wimpey shares (LSE: TW) are (as Winston Churchill once said of the Soviet Union’s policy pre-WW2) a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma. I bought them a couple of years ago when the yield topped 7%, and the stock traded at just six or seven times earnings. It felt like a bargain. Solid balance sheet, defensive business model, generous dividends. The payout looked sustainable too. What could go wrong? Today, the yield’s an eye-catching 8.7%, and while the price-to-earnings ratio’s crept up to 13.8, that still looks modest to me. Yet the share price…
