[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images I’ve been digging into a few former high-flying growth stocks that are now trading very lowly. One that has fallen spectacularly from grace is US consumer robotics firm iRobot (NASDAQ: IRBT). I mention this because I considered it a few years ago when I wanted to invest in the fast-growing robotics space. Thankfully, I instead went with Intuitive Surgical, the surgical robot pioneer whose shares are up 180% in five years. I say thankfully because iRobot stock has lost 97% of its value since February 2021. Back then, it peaked at $133, but now trades…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Lloyds Banking Group (LSE: LLOY) shares have climbed 40% so far in 2025. And that’s with the huge uncertainty of the car loan mis-selling scandal hanging over the outlook. In the circumstances, I might have expected a threat like that to hold the share price back. Hmm, maybe it is, and maybe Lloyds shareholders would be further in profit now without it? Price forecasts According to Investors Chronicle, five out of 11 analysts have now dropped their Buy stances from a year ago. And the majority now sit on a Hold recommendation. There’s a median…
[ad_1] The easyJet (LSE: EZJ) share price is suddenly flying. It’s up 12% in a month. Over 12 months, it’s climbed more than 28%. So what’s driving the surge? I’ve had my eye on the FTSE 100 budget carrier for the last year. EasyJet shares have routinely looked cheap, with a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio sitting in the mid-single-digits. Its newer Holidays division has been doing good business, while flight bookings and revenues have been rising. Recovery stock I was torn for a while between easyJet and FTSE 100 rival International Consolidated Airlines Group. IAG, as it’s known, took off last…
[ad_1] Aircapture has secured $50 million in Series A funding to grow its modular Direct Air Capture (DAC) systems. These systems remove carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the air and can be installed at factories, plants, and other high-emission sites. This funding will help scale production, improve technology, and meet rising demand from industries wanting to reduce emissions. This funding round shows increasing confidence in DAC solutions. As climate rules tighten, industries feel pressure to decarbonize quickly. With this investment, Aircapture aims to speed up its role in the carbon capture race. How Aircapture’s DAC Tech Works Aircapture’s modular DAC units…
[ad_1] MANILA, Philippines — Singapore-based Carbon Sync Ventures is making a bold push into the Philippines, aiming to revolutionize the local carbon credit market and channel billion-dollar investments into renewable power. In an interview with The STAR, Carbon Sync CEO Wesley Quek outlined the company’s long-term expansion in the Philippines, seeing great opportunities for carbon-abating projects. On the carbon credit front, he said the Philippines’ archipelagic nature supports vast mangrove forests, which serve as powerful natural carbon sinks. If properly registered and verified, planting mangroves is considered a carbon credit project, which can generate tradable carbon credits in return. A…
[ad_1] Image source: Rolls-Royce plc For a mature company listed on the stock market for decades already, Rolls-Royce (LSE: RR) has a very unusual share price chart. Rolls-Royce shares have soared 51% so far this year. They are now 692% higher than five years ago. In recent years, it has seemed as if the Rolls-Royce share price has just got higher and higher. There have been bumps along the way, but the momentum has been strong. So, might it make sense for me to buy some today for my portfolio? Looking at future fundamentals, not past momentum To start with,…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Yesterday (10 June), the FTSE 100 eclipsed the record highs from March this year. The 7.9% rally over the past year has been anything but smooth. Yet some might think that it’s time to sit in cash and wait for another stock market crash. I disagree and think several FTSE 100 stocks still offer great value. Here are two to consider. On solid foundations The first one is Persimmon (LSE:PSN). The leading UK housebuilder has experienced a 4.5% share price drop over the past year. I think it offers good value as it’s a way…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images The past year has taken a slice out of the share price of Domino’s Pizza Group (LSE: DOM). The FTSE 250 share is now 18% below where it stood 12 months ago. That means that it trades on a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 11. That is less than half the P/E ratio of New York-listed Domino’s Pizza Inc. The US business model is different, as it makes money franchising the brand, whereas Domino’s Pizza is simply a local franchisee. But the UK business is performing much better than the consistently loss-making eastern European franchisee, London-listed…
[ad_1] Financial Statement Analysis for Value Investing. 2025. Stephen Penman and Peter Pope. Columbia University Press. The discipline of value investing has had a tough time of late. The relentless ascent of passive investment strategies, the prolonged outperformance of growth stocks since the Global Financial Crisis, and the soaring overall valuations in developed markets (where time-tested valuation principles no longer seem to apply), to name but a few, have all contributed to its struggles. As a result, the heirs of the Graham and Dodd tradition are numbered these days and relegated to deep-value strategies in emerging markets — or Japan.…
