I admit that making predictions about the Tesco (LSE:TSCO) share price is a mug’s game. Nobody (including me) can know with any certainty at what level it might be in a few days’ time, let alone next month and beyond. But I think it’s possible to make an informed judgement as to its future direction of travel. And I believe there’s some evidence to suggest that it’s unlikely to move much higher, certainly not in the short term. Interestingly, it would appear as though the analysts agree with me. The consensus 12-month forecast of those covering the stock is for…

Image source: Getty Images When a company’s shares trade at a discount to its book value (the difference between its assets and its liabilities), they can look cheap. Investors, however, need to take a closer look. Unless the firm is about to go into liquidation, the difference isn’t that important. But there are a couple of UK stocks at price-to-book (P/B) ratios below one where I think a discounted valuation to peers is a potential opportunity. Barclays FTSE 100 bank stock Barclays (LSE:BARC) currently trades at a P/B multiple of 0.83. By contrast, shares in HSBC, Lloyds Banking Group, and…
Image source: Getty Images I think the UK stock market is a great place for dividend investors looking for shares to consider buying. And there are a few names that have very impressive track records. Decades of consistent dividend growth doesn’t guarantee higher returns in future. But it also doesn’t come about by accident and it’s something investors might want to pay attention to. Croda International Croda International (LSE:CRDA) has increased its dividend per share each year for over 34 consecutive years. That’s an outstanding record and it’s fair to say the company has seen it all. The last three…
Just in time for Labor Day, the head of Philadelphia’s largest transit workers union highlighted the terrifying stakes of the cuts to mass transportation, and urged an end to a funding crisis that could cost people their lives.In a fiery statement ahead of the worker’s holiday, Transport Worker’s Union Local 234 President Brian Pollitt decried the ongoing state budget crisis that’s forced the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (which everyone calls SEPTA) to cut its bus and train service by 20 percent in August and threatened even more dire reductions in the coming months if a deal isn’t reached.But Pollitt emphasized…
Image source: Rolls-Royce plc Since Tufan Erginbilgic took over as Rolls-Royce’s (LSE: RR) CEO in January 2023 its share price has risen 1,083%. At regular intervals along that price journey, investors have questioned whether the stock has reached peak value. And rightly so – investors should always be rigorously assessing the price-to-value proposition of their holdings. After all, the two elements are not the same. Price is whatever the market will pay for a stock, while value reflects the fundamental worth of the underlying business. So, it could be that following a 1,000%+ rise, there is no value left in…

Image source: Getty Images Passive income is money made with little effort on the part of the recipient. The best example of this in action that I have found over the years is the dividends paid by shares. FTSE 100 housebuilder Taylor Wimpey (LSE: TW) has been a generous provider of dividends for many years. Over the past 12 months though, the 41% slide in its share price has pushed the dividend yield to nearly 10%. This is because a share’s price and its yield move in opposite directions, provided the annual dividend remains the same. Ten per cent is…

Image source: Getty Images 2025 has (so far) been a strong year for UK blue-chip bank shares. Lloyds (LSE:LLOY) shares have, in fact, been one of the FTSE 100‘s best performers over the period, rising 52% in value. High street peers Barclays (LSE:BARC) and HSBC (LSE:HSBA) have also taken off since 1 January, albeit at a slower pace. They’ve printed gains of 40% and 23% respectively. Can these FTSE 100 rockets keep up their momentum though? Let’s take a look at City forecasts. Lloyds Lloyds’ share price surge is thanks chiefly to two factors. Hopes of sustained interest rate cuts…
