Image source: Getty Images The current average dividend yield of the FTSE 250 is 3.37%. Within the index, some members have a higher yield. By taking into account the divided forecast for the coming years, an investor can try to find some good income stocks. However, any yield inflated by a falling share price needs to be treated with caution. The key points I’ve come across Workspace Group (LSE:WKP), a FTSE 250 stock. The real estate investment trust (REIT) is focused on commercial property for small and medium-sized enterprises, mainly in Greater London. The stock is down 40% over the…

The NBA is investigating a situation between the LA Clippers and a fraudulent company, Aspiration, after accusations that the Clippers were using this company to circumvent the salary cap and pay star forward Kawhi Leonard more than allowed. Of course, on the surface, this situation seems like it will end poorly for Steve Ballmer and the Clippers, and as more information comes out, the worse it looks for every party involved. Investigative journalist Pablo Torre continues to find out more about this situation, and recently discovered another $21 million payment from the Clippers to Aspiration, just two weeks before Leonard’s…
Spending close to $1bn on shares in a single company is far from what most investors are used to. However, that is what Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) boss Elon Musk recently did. With the company’s leader spending a lot of money picking up more Tesla stock, could now be the time to add the company to my own portfolio? Different investors can have different objectives Musk has become the world’s richest man through a series of smart business and investment decisions, so clearly he knows a thing or two about how to deploy his capital. I often pay attention to directors’…
Image source: Getty Images Next (LSE:NXT) stock has a solid wealth-building track record. It has done well long term, but not today (18 September), as it’s the worst performer on the FTSE 100. As I write, it’s down nearly 5% to 11,500p. The good… Today’s drop relates to the fashion retailer’s first-half results, covering the six months to July. While the sales figures were strong, management tempered this with some extremely cautious commentary. First, the good bits. Next’s strategy of being a multi-brand marketplace (not just selling its own clothes) continues to bear fruit. Total group sales, which includes discounted…
Image source: Rolls-Royce plc It is hard to believe that Rolls-Royce (LSE: RR) shares sold for pennies as recently as 2022. With the Rolls-Royce share price now north of £11, some long-term shareholders have done very well in just a few years. Could the share go on to hit £12? Ought I to buy? More space for price growth ahead! In short, I think the share price could indeed hit the £12 mark. To justify that claim, think about what has been driving Rolls-Royce shares so far in their impressive ascent. It is easy to say that part of the…
The Los Angeles Clippers and Steve Ballmer continue to gain attention for the team’s relationship with Aspiration, a company that reportedly paid Clippers star Kawhi Leonard $28 million for “no-show jobs.” On Thursday, reporter Pablo Torre, who has alleged the no-show payments appear to be a way for the Clippers to circumvent the salary cap, dropped more suspicious evidence linking the three entities that cast doubt on Ballmer’s claims that he was duped by Aspiration.Torre’s reporting once again goes in-depth on the situation. He introduces new legal contracts, speaks with anonymous sources and even includes a court deposition from Aspiration’s…
Image source: Sam Robson, The Motley Fool UK Over the past month alone, electric vehicle (EV) maker NIO (NYSE: NIO) has soared 44%. But the long-term picture is less attractive, with NIO stock having fallen 64% over the past five years. Still, that sort of price volatility is not unusual when it comes to EV makers. NIO’s rival Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) has had its fair share of dramatic price swings over the years too. Over the past five years though, it has soared 186%. Over the past decade, Tesla has gone up a stunning 2,462%. But while Tesla now has…
Image source: Getty Images Wizz Air’s (LSE: WIZZ) share price has dropped 30% from its 18 March traded high of £18.17. I think it is set not only to recover this loss but to make significant gains on top as well. The driving factor behind this – and for any firm’s share price – will be earnings growth. There are risks here, as with all firms, of course. The main one is any further delay in returning to its full complement of aircraft following groundings due to engine troubles. As at the time of its Q1 2025/26 results release (24…
Image source: Getty Images Tesco (LSE: TSCO) shares have had a brilliant run lately, and the same goes for another solid and established FTSE 100 household name, Aviva (LSE: AV). The Tesco share price has climbed 103% over the last five years. In the last 12 months it’s up about 18%. Aviva’s done even better. It’s up 130% over five years, and 34% in the past year. Dividends will have boosted the total return. Today, Aviva offers the superior trailing yield at 5.4%, Tesco’s lower at 3.1%. Just a year or two back they paid even more income, but yields…
Image source: Getty Images RWS Holdings (LSE: RWS) is a UK share with a £329m market-cap and an 88.5p share price. And its dividend yield is forecast at a whopping 14%. That can mean the market expects trouble. And looking back over the past five years, we see RWS down a painful 85%. Is this a recovery opportunity, and can the dividend hold up? Let’s take a look. AI competitive RWS is in the language translation and support business. That should be sewn up by computers and artificial intelligence (AI), we might think. But there’s a specialisation here in legal,…
