Over the past five years, Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) has put in a solid enough performance, up by 35% during that period. In fact, it is up 34% over the past year alone, reflecting Amazon’s role as a leading tech stock at a time when artificial intelligence (AI) excitement has gripped the market. But as AI-related stocks go, that is not especially good going. Nvidia is up 46% in a year, while Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing has seen its share price grow by 41%. However, it could be that Amazon turns out to be one of the big winners from AI. And…

Image source: Getty Images Any change at the top of a business is a big deal. When the company is a FTSE 250 constituent with a significant market-cap, it’s even more important. A new CEO can signal a change in direction that could help the stock outperform in the coming years. Here are two companies that could slot in this category. Looking to the future First up is Future (LSE:FUTR), a specialist media company operating a global platform of over 200 brands across content verticals. The group delivers content via websites, email newsletters, magazines, and live events. It mainly makes…
Image source: Ocado Group plc In just a few weeks, Ocado (LSE: OCDO) has seen its share price jump by almost half and is up 45% since last month. That may be scant comfort to long-term shareholders, as the share is still down 86% over a five-year timeframe. Still, could this be the start of a comeback for what has sometimes been seen as one of the more promising tech companies in the London market? Promising signs of business improvement Ocado has been a cash pit for years, hungrily burning through money. That is one reason for the dramatic long-term…

Image source: Getty Images Shares in the FTSE 250’s ITV (LSE: ITV) are down 9% from their 24 July one-year traded high of 88p. This looks more dramatic than an 8p fall might otherwise appear, given the sub-£1 share price. I think the decline resulted from a little profit-taking after a run-up following better-than-expected H1 results. After this has washed through the market, I believe the share price could rise again – significantly. A positive core business outlook? The H1 2025 figures released on 24 July saw total advertising revenue slip 7% year on year. This beat analysts’ forecasts for…
Image source: Getty Images Over the past year, Barclays (LSE:BARC) has been one of the top performers in the FTSE 100 index. The Barclays share price is up 62%, significantly outperforming the index’s gains of 11.4%. The stock recently reached its highest level in over a decade. With some concerns that it could be a little overvalued, I turned to the latest analyst forecasts to see if I could discover anything to help. Positive overall sentiment There are 19 banks or brokers that currently have a share price target out for the coming year for Barclays. Some 70% of them…
Image source: Getty Images Next (LSE: NXT) shares are down 7% from their 3 June 12-month traded high of £130.85. This could provide a rare opportunity to pick up the stock on a dip following a 35% rise from January. It all depends on how much value remains in the stock, as this is not the same thing as price. Price is whatever the market will pay for a stock at any given time, while value reflects fundamental business worth. So, I looked deeper into the business and ran the key numbers to ascertain the state of play here. How…
