But it’s picked up 26% so far in 2025. Storming back? When a stock has fallen out of favour as badly as this one, it can take a number of things to get it back on track.

Past share price performance plays no part in that. Analysts are still bullish, with an attractive Buy consensus at the moment. But their price targets are diverging. And when opinions start splitting, that can suggest the risks…

But that doesn’t mean we can’t give our children a powerful financial head start. One of the simplest ways to do this is by harnessing the power of long-term investing, ideally from the moment they’re born. The most straightforward way to get going is by opening a Junior Stocks and Shares ISA at birth. This is really simple and requires very minimal time. Personally, I use Hargreaves Lansdown for my daughter’s ISA as I can process trades…

Image source: Getty Images Generating £20,000 a year in passive income might sound like a tough ask, but it’s achievable with consistency, time, and the power of compounding. I’m thankful to have been investing for some time, which means I’m well on my way to having a portfolio that could generate £20,000 annually. But what if an investor were starting from scratch? Well, starting this September, they could open a Stocks and Shares ISA with a reputable UK brokerage and invest £500 per month into a diversified portfolio of equities — not just UK stocks.

Image source: Getty Images When looking for growth stocks to buy, I like to see what the pros have been up to. In Q2, Henry Ellenbogen made some interesting moves.

In other words, a second avenue of growth with a new product or adjacent…

Image source: Getty Images When it comes to building generational wealth, few tools are as powerful — or as underrated — as the humble Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP). My family and I place £320 a month into a SIPP for my daughter, starting from birth (including £80 in government tax relief), and are aiming for low-double digit returns over the long run. Will that be possible? Only time will tell, but to date, we’re exceeding expectations. Please note that tax treatment depends on the individual circumstances of each client and may be subject to change in future. The content in…
