Image source: Getty Images I’m a big fan of Taylor Wimpey (LSE: TW) shares but sometimes I wonder why. They’re now trading at levels last seen a decade ago, which is pretty shocking. It’s not a problem unique to Taylor Wimpey. The housebuilding sector has been battered by every economic shock since Brexit. Inflation lifted the cost of building materials, while higher interest rates made buyers nervous and hit affordability. Last year’s Budget piled on extra expense by hiking both employers’ National Insurance and the Minimum Wage. Inflation was 3.8% in July and the Bank of England (BoE) expects it to push…

This remote territory can be accessed by a boat ride through the deepest river in the world, the River Congo, or by a four-hour motorbike ride through a dusty, winding trail. Isangi is among the seven territories of Tshopo Province, the largest province…
Tesla Inc. (TSLA Stock) has once again raised the stakes in the world of artificial intelligence and custom semiconductor design.

Image source: Getty Images FTSE utilities provider Telecom Plus (LSE: TEP) has drifted 12% lower from its 24 June 12-month high of £21. This seems to have resulted from a drop in revenues in its 24 June full fiscal year 2025 results, to £1.838bn from £2.039bn. I also think it comes from profit-taking after a bullish price run since February. Otherwise, 2025 saw a record adjusted pre-tax profit of £126.3m. This marked an 8.1% year-on-year increase, while adjusted earnings per share rose 9.4% to 119.2p. These results enabled the firm to increase its dividend by 13.3% to 94p per share…
Quarterly earnings results are a good time to check in on a company’s progress, especially compared to its peers in the same sector.

Image source: Getty Images BP (LSE: BP) shares are down 10% from their 12 February one-year traded high of £4.71. The price movement has broadly followed that of the benchmark Brent oil price. This means that nothing of added value that BP does is reflected in the market assessment. This includes high-margin refined products, petrochemicals manufacturing, and various trading operations. It underlines once again the disparity between a stock’s price and its value. The former is simply whatever the market will pay for any share at any given time. However, the latter reflects the full scope of a firm’s underlying…
Image source: Getty Images UK investors continue to be drawn to Lloyds‘ and Rolls-Royce‘s shares. And I can understand why – right now these two names are delivering. Looking ahead however, City analysts see far more potential in other, less popular shares. Here’s an under-the-radar dividend stock that they see huge potential in over the next 12 months. ‘Mission-critical’ services The stock in focus is Restore (LSE: RST). It’s a London-based company that provides ‘mission-critical’ services to businesses such as document shredding, document scanning, data storage and erasure, and relocation services. Listed on the UK’s Alternative Investment Market (AIM), it…
Image source: Getty Images I bought growth share Warpaint London (LSE: W7L) last year to inject some excitement and adventure into my portfolio. And I’ve got it. Unfortunately, it’s the wrong type, with the stock crashing 20% this morning (10 September) after publishing its first-half 2025 results. The AIM-listed beauty specialist, owner of brands including W7, Technic and Super Facialist, sells affordable cosmetics through the likes of Boots in the UK, as well as in the Netherlands, the Philippines and the US. The shares were skyrocketing when I bought them, but the momentum drained away after full-year 2024 revenues, published in…
