Image source: Getty Images Concerns about tax increases and spending cuts have caused the pound to fall against the dollar. But this could be an opportunity for UK investors to look at shares in companies that do business in the US. A number of FTSE 100 firms generate a significant amount of their revenues across the Atlantic. And, in my view, a couple in particular stand out as truly exceptional companies. Experian FTSE 100 credit bureau Experian (LSE:EXPN) generates more than two-thirds of its sales in the US. So a weaker pound should benefit investors who collect dividends in the…
American Airlines (AAL Stock) entered the busy summer travel season with clear momentum. The carrier posted record Q2 2025 revenues of $14.4 billion, a 5% jump in international passenger unit revenue, with especially strong demand across the Atlantic. Its operating margin climbed to 8%, while earnings per share of $0.95 beat Wall Street expectations. AAL is also giving a strong net-zero push with significant investment in SAF. Let’s deep dive into its revenue and its sustainability goals below. American Airlines’ Passenger Growth Gives Earnings a Lift The earnings release showed that premium cabins led the charge, with families, leisure travelers,…
Image source: Getty Images There are many ways that investors can use their retirement fund to source a passive income. My plan is to invest my money in dividend shares, which I’m hoping will substantially supplement my State Pension and help me live comfortably. Investors like me could buy an annuity product with their nest egg for a guaranteed income. Alternatively, they might draw down a percentage of their portfolio. That plan of action could fund their retirement for 20-30 years. But my preferred option is to plough my money into a range of dividend stocks. That way, I have…
ASEAN environment ministers met in Langkawi, Malaysia, for a three-day summit on climate and sustainability. The 18th ASEAN Ministerial Meeting on Environment (AMME-18) gathered more than 200 delegates from member states, Timor-Leste, and partners like the EU, China, South Korea, and Japan. The timing is key. With COP30 in Brazil just weeks away, ASEAN leaders are aligning their climate goals. As per reports, Malaysia used the platform to push regional cooperation, highlight haze reduction, and strengthen climate finance strategies. Carbon Credit Potential in ASEAN Heritage Parks During the summit, Malaysia nominated three sites as ASEAN Heritage Parks: the Tengku Hassanal…
Artificial intelligence is hot and transformative, reaching far beyond tech into the investment industry. With so much hype, there is a risk that AI is being used more as a marketing gimmick than as a genuine tool to improve investment strategies. Building on a CFA institute overview of how data science and AI are entering investment management[1], this piece takes the perspective of asset owners and consultants. I offer 5 critical conversations to cut through the noise and uncover the real value of AI in investing. While written with asset owners and consultants in mind, individual investors can also use…
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. private payrolls increased less than expected in August amid easing labor market conditions. Private employment rose by 54,000 jobs last month after a slightly upwardly revised 106,000 increase in July, the ADP National Employment Report showed on Thursday. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast private employment increasing 65,000 following a previously reported 104,000 gain in July. The ADP report, jointly developed with the Stanford Digital Economy Lab, was published ahead of the more comprehensive employment report for August due to be released on Friday by the Labor Department’s Bureau of Labor Statistics. There is no correlation between…
Image source: Getty Images As I write on 4 September, the Jet2 (LSE:Jet2) share price is down around 14% on the day. That’s because it published a trading update in the morning and the market didn’t like it very much. The sharp fall came after Jet2 warned that annual earnings are now expected to land towards the bottom end of market forecasts. Management said that since its last update in July, the trend of customers booking much closer to departure has become even more pronounced, making forward visibility more difficult. To the end of August, flown package holiday customers rose…
Image source: Getty Images The FTSE 250 has slipped around 2% so far this month on concerns about the seasonal September slump. Still, it’s an index full of defensive gems, but one of them I’m not quite ready to pull the trigger on. Defensive companies are usually better equipped to ride out market turbulence. Food producer Premier Foods and defence contractor Chemring are two that could help cushion the blow if the September dip drags on. Another name that has long caught my eye for similar reasons is the pub chain JD Wetherspoons (LSE: JDW). It’s a FTSE 250 favourite…
