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…

Image source: Getty Images For years, Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) held a very strong investment case. So far in 2025 though, Apple stock has fallen 8%. What has been going on – and could now be the time for investors to consider it? Stepping back from the short term There have been some short-term challenges for the tech giant. For example, the structure of its globalised supply chain has led investors to feel nervous about what unpredictable US tariff policy-making could mean for the company. But I think short-term concerns are not the only driver behind the declining Apple stock price.…

An underappreciated corner of crypto is shaping US government debt markets. Stablecoins, a type of cryptocurrency designed to retain a stable value, was once seen mainly as digital cash for trading. But stablecoins now hold hundreds of billions of dollars in Treasury bills. And flows into or out of stablecoins can move short-term yields, shift liquidity conditions, and alter Treasuries’ safe-haven role. For investors, that means a new source of volatility in the world’s most important safe asset, one that links portfolio resilience to crypto-market sentiment. The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) estimates that inflows into stablecoins reduce 3-month T-bill…
