Image source: Getty Images Penny stocks can be enormously exciting investment opportunities. While these tiny enterprises are exceptionally volatile and expose investors to substantial risk, they also open the door to potentially explosive returns. And in 2025, Windar Photonics (LSE:WPHO) is seemingly offering investors the opportunity to tap into a possible $5.4bn growth opportunity. Impressive market opportunity Windar Photonics specialises in low-cost LiDAR sensors for improving the performance of wind turbines. These modules can be retrofitted to existing turbines to measure wind speeds and direction. Using this data, turbine blades can be rotated and repositioned automatically to maximise energy production.…

Image source: Getty Images It’s no secret that by making smart investments in the stock market it’s possible to start earning a juicy passive income. This is especially true in the UK, where the London Stock Exchange is home to a massive roster of lucrative yields and dividend opportunities. In 2025, it doesn’t take that much money to start an investing journey. In fact, as little as a few hundred pounds is enough to get the ball rolling. But let’s say an investor’s aiming to earn an extra £20,000 each year passively. Just how much do they need to invest?…

Image source: Getty Images Taylor Wimpey (LSE:TW.) shares remain highly volatile as worries over the UK housing market recovery linger. The FTSE 100 builder’s dropped sharply in value over the summer, and today its shares are around 22% cheaper than they were at the start of the year. I hold Taylor Wimpey in my own portfolio, and am confident its share price will rebound over the long term. But there are still significant risks to earnings now and in the future. Here are some of the opportunities and the threats facing the Footsie company today. Looking on the bright side…
Image source: Getty Images These FTSE 100 stocks look dirt-cheap on paper. But to my mind, the potential risks they pose to investors far outweigh the possible rewards. Here’s why. Defying gravity After experiencing some spring turbulence, the International Consolidated Airlines (LSE:IAG) has risen sharply again over the summer. At 390.8p per share, the FTSE company has now gained 29% in value since the start of 2025. I’m left scratching my head at this rebound given a string of disappointing recent updates from the airline industry. Jet2 was the latest major flyer to sound the alarm on Thursday (4 September)…
Image source: Getty Images By definition, the FTSE 250 index is home to future FTSE 100 stocks. Just like the English Football League Championship is home to future Premier League clubs. However, stocks and clubs can also travel in the other direction. Investing in the right mid-cap share early enough can produce market-thumping returns. However, digging through the FTSE 250, I see a handful of names that I’m uncertain about long term. One of them is Dr Martens (LSE:DOCS). Shares of the bootmaker have been doing well recently, rising 20% in just the past month. However, they’ve still lost half…

Water Intelligence (LSE:WATR) is a UK stock I havenât covered before. However, it has caught my eye purely because the analysts covering the stock believe itâs trading below half of its ‘fair value’. Thatâs certainly intriguing me. However, thereâs a few caveats. The first of which is that there are only two analysts covering the stock, and thatâs not uncommon for a small-cap company like this. Also, being a small-cap, it inherently carries more risk, has less liquidity, and has less visibility than its larger peers. Collectively, these factors can contribute to a large differential between the share price and…
Everyone associated with a mutual fund says, “the best way to build wealth is via SIP in an equity mutual fund over the long term”. However, where is the proof that a long-term equity mutual fund SIP would work? In this article, we analyse 40+ years of the Sensex and 110 years of the S&P 500 to check if there is any truth to this claim.To claim whether a long-term SIP in equity ‘works’ or not, we shall first have to define ‘long-term’ and the benchmark for the performance. We shall define ‘long-term’ as 15 years. This is well above…
