Image source: Sam Robson, The Motley Fool UK The electric vehicle space is not all about Tesla and BYD, although it can sometimes feel a bit like it. BYD’s Chinese rival NIO (NYSE: NIO) is a former stock market darling, but has fallen 89% since early 2021. Yet things have lately taken a marked turn for the better, with NIO stock moving up 49% so far in 2025. Could this be a sign of better days ahead? With the company’s latest quarterly earnings report due on Tuesday (2 September), now seems like a pertinent time to mull that question. Sales…
Image source: Getty Images Every day, I monitor a wide range of stocks. Despite trying to stay on top of the markets, there are shares that have a large move I sometimes miss. So when I spotted a FTSE 250 stock that had surged higher over the past month, I had to play catch-up fast. Here’s what’s been going on and why the party might not be over quite yet. Strong results fuel rally I’m talking about Goodwin (LSE:GDWN), the UK-based heavy engineering firm with roots stretching back to 1883. It’s not a hugely glamorous business, with the central division…
Carbon credit procurement is no longer a sustainability side-topic in the aviation industry: the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) now presents financial and reputational exposure for most airlines. Independent forecasters, including MSCI, expect carbon credit prices under CORSIA to rise sharply, surpassing the peaks previously seen in the voluntary market. And with compliance penalties looming; treasury and procurement professionals must adopt a structured risk management approach to sourcing the Eligible Emissions Units that are required under CORSIA. In this article, we outline four key risk categories in carbon procurement under CORSIA and share mitigation strategies that…

Scottish Mortgage Investment Trust has a great track record of identifying top-performing growth stocks. Here, I look at three the FTSE 100 fund bought in Q2 to see which I like the most. EV battery maker Of this trio, two were new buys and one was a top-up. The two newbies were CATL and Applovin (NASDAQ:APP). China’s CATL is the world’s largest electric vehicle (EV) battery maker. In Q2, net profit jumped 34% to 16.5bn yuan ($2.3bn). This is impressive growth given the fragile Chinese economy. The firm is opening a battery plant in Hungary to expand internationally. And as…
Image source: Getty Images Media giant WPP (LSE: WPP) is in the unenviable position of being the biggest faller in the FTSE 100 so far in 2025. It’s been picking up a bit in the past couple of weeks. But we’re still looking at a 52% decline since fireworks heralded in New Year. With a market-cap of £4.27bn at the time of writing, WPP’s hanging on to a position in the FTSE 100. But not by a lot. It wouldn’t have to fall much further to lose its place at the London Stock Exchange‘s top table. That would be a…
Image source: Getty Images Analysts have been bullish over the Rolls-Royce Holdings (LSE: RR.) share price as it’s soared 1,180% over the past five years. No sooner does it approach their target price than they raise it a good bit higher. But their bullishness appears to be slowing. The average price target now stands at 1,095p, just 3% ahead of the current price. Considering there’s a strong Buy consensus, with only one out of 16 analysts rating Rolls a Sell, that doesn’t seem too ambitious. There’s always one party pooper, isn’t there? But the lone bearish stance looks like something…
Image source: Getty Images While far from perfect, broker recommendations and upgrades are worth keeping an eye on. After all, it’s the analyst team’s job to find value in shares. On 27 August, Shore Capital reiterated its Buy rating on a well-known FTSE 100 stock, assigning it a 2,100p price target. That’s 43% higher than its current price of 1,461p! Let’s take a look at what this broker might see in the share. Bullish The stock in question is pharma giant GSK (LSE: GSK). Well, I say ‘giant’, but the share price has gone nowhere for a long time.
