Image source: Getty Images A Stocks and Shares ISA is one of the smartest ways I know to build long-term wealth. It doesn’t come with upfront tax relief like a pension, but every bit of growth and dividend income is free from HMRC’s reach, which is a powerful advantage.

Image source: Getty Images Rolls-Royce shares have absolutely crushed the FTSE 100 over the past five years. They’ve rocketed 1,165% versus around an 80% return for the blue-chip index (including dividends). Yet, the current broker share target of 1,222p suggests a further 16% may be on the cards in the next 12 months. So the stock may still be worth researching further, despite a tendency for analysts to either underestimate or overestimate individual stock prices. Here, though, I want to look at a pair of FTSE 100 shares that currently have far higher price targets. easyJet First up is easyJet…

Image source: Getty Images. A few years ago, I looked into Palantir (NASDAQ: PLTR). There was some buzz about the company’s tremendous potential, but I did not decide to buy Palantir stock. Over five years, it has soared 1,576%. So my decision not to invest means I missed out on some potentially incredible gains. But, unlike some missed opportunities, I do not regret it. For one thing, the current valuation of Palantir stock looks ridiculous to me. It is trading on a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 513. Yes, 513! But there is another reason I do not regret my decision…
Image source: Rolls-Royce plc When it comes to soaring sky high, aeronautical engineer Rolls-Royce (LSE: RR) knows a thing or two. That has been the case with the Rolls-Royce share price in recent years, too. This month has seen it hit a new all-time high. Over the past five years, the Rolls-Royce share price has soared 1,175%. For a FTSE 100 share (or indeed any share), that is a phenomenal performance. But I do not own the share. Could it be worth me adding it to my portfolio now in the hope that there is more fuel left in the…
Image source: Getty Images Investors long argued about whether Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) had a viable business model. Pouring vast sums into making shows while many users watched for free due to shared passwords did not necessarily sound like a brilliant way to make money. Last year, though, Netflix’s net income soared to a record $8.7bn. The Netflix stock price is up 76% over the past year alone. Is it now overvalued? I am not so sure: I see an argument for the stock price run to keep going. But, for now at least, the price does not sit easily with…
Late yesterday (August 28), Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) released the latest quarterly earnings. The stock fell 3% in pre-market trading, although we’ll have to wait and see what happens as the US market gets going. Yet, there were some key takeaways to be had from the earnings release, which I think provide a signal as to where the stock goes from here. A solid quarter Let’s start off with some of the key numbers. The company reported second-quarter revenue of $46.7bn and adjusted earnings per share of $1.05, comfortably ahead of Wall Street forecasts. The data centre division, the crown jewel of…
Image source: Getty Images UK penny shares have been out of favour with investors for a while. But with interest rates slowly but surely coming down, small-cap stocks could be set for a return to form over the next few years. Here are two penny shares I think are worth considering today. A potential hidden gem Windar Photonics (LSE: WPHO) is a Danish firm with a £61m market-cap that manufactures innovative, affordable LiDAR systems for turbine tuning. These measure wind direction and speed so the turbines can face into the wind more accurately and generate extra power. Last year, the…
