Image source: Getty Images When I look at a stock that‘s soared 90% in the past year, the immediate impression is that I shouldn’t consider buying it as I’ve missed the boat. Yet the exception to this is when the stock still looks to be a good value, meaning that the rally could keep going. Here’s one FTSE 250 company that could tick this box. Flying high I’m referring to Jupiter Fund Management (LSE: JUP). The UK-based investment manager is up 90% in the last year, with a current price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 11.40. The company’s performed well recently for…

Image source: Getty Images Walking down a typical UK high street, you’ll probably see a Greggs store. By mid-2025, the British bakery chain had almost 2,650 outlets selling ‘food on the go’. But while the group has been a great British success story, Greggs (LSE: GRG) shares have been rolling downhill like a dropped sausage roll. Greggs grows Greggs started out from humble beginnings in Newcastle upon Tyne in 1939, with John Gregg selling goods by bicycle delivery. John opened his first shop in Gosforth in 1951, and his sons continued to expand the business after John’s death in 1964.…
Image source: Getty Images The FTSE 100 has had its share of wobblers in 2025 and advertising giant WPP (LSE: WPP) might just be one of the biggest. The company’s share price has crashed around 53% over the past six months to 271.7p as I write on 4 November. So, is this a screaming bargain or is the company’s low valuation justified at the moment? What’s going on with the share price? The company has been through a rough patch recently. It posted £14,741m in revenue for 2024, down slightly from the year before, but warned investors that more pain…
Image source: Getty Images Michael Burry’s latest 13F reveals short positions in Nvidia and Palantir (NASDAQ:PLTR). Together, these seem to make up almost 80% of Scion Asset Management’s portfolio. Investors, however, need to be careful with interpreting this. My guess – and it is a guess – is that this isn’t the all-in bet against artificial intelligence (AI) stocks it looks like. Put options The two largest positions in Scion’s quarterly filing are put options. These give the holder the right to sell a stock at a certain strike price before a specified expiry date. Puts on Nvidia (66%) and…
Image source: Getty Images Rolls-Royce (LSE: RR.) shares have been an incredible investment recently. Anyone who bought them three years ago has made over 10 times their money! Could ChatGPT help us find the next multibagger? I put it to the test by asking it for five shares that could be the ‘next Rolls-Royce’… Rolls-Royce’s huge gains Before I list ChatGPT’s stock picks, it’s worth looking at how Rolls-Royce managed to generate such huge returns for investors in the space of three years. Ultimately, several factors led to the gains. First, the stock was well and truly out of favour…
Image source: Getty Images I asked ChatGPT to pick me a portfolio of five UK dividend shares. And just to make things interesting, I’m going to compare that with a portfolio of five income stocks selected by me. Starting today, I’ll track both, see what happens, and report back with the results in due course. I’m not putting my own money behind what ChatGPT says, but I’ll be keeping score. The portfolios Right then, let’s get to it. The rules are pretty straightforward – dividends are reinvested back into the shares of the companies they came from and the highest…
A boundary-pushing researcher and artist is using the power of sound to make communities more welcoming to people outside cars, and sparking a conversation about how tactical urbanism can engage all the senses to become a more powerful tool to reimagine public space.In a recent article published in City, Venice-based academic, musician, and sound artist Nicola Di Croce documented his 2022 effort to reimagine the sonic environment of Montreal’s Place de La Paix, in direct collaboration with residents themselves — and why other communities should add an auditory dimension to their “tactical urbanism” projects.Usually credited to Mike Lydon and Anthony…
Image source: Getty Images Growth stocks are typically defined as companies with higher-than-average earnings growth and a high return on equity (ROE). Unlike income stocks, they focus on reinvesting funds into the business rather than rewarding shareholders. Identifying stocks with decent growth potential can be more difficult than income stocks, as they don’t offer a strong indication of returns, like dividends. Choosing the best ones requires an extensive understanding of global market trends and careful analysis of company financials. Recently, London Stock Exchange Group announced it was working with Anthropic to bring financial data access to its artificial intelligence (AI)…
Image source: Rolls-Royce plc In October, the Rolls-Royce Holdings (LSE:RR.) share price fell 1.9%. At first glance, this seems pretty unremarkable. But when you consider this was only the seventh month-on-month fall since October 2022, it appears to have more significance. During 30 of the past 37 months, the aerospace and defence group’s share price has gone up. At the end of September 2022, its shares were changing hands for 69.59p. Today (4 November), one would cost around £11.40. That’s an astonishing increase of 1,538%. However, it’s now fallen during two of the past three months. Admittedly, not by very…
Image source: Getty Images UK shares aren’t exactly known for trading at ambitious multiples. But some of the lowest valuations can be found outside the FTSE 100 and the FTSE 250. The Alternative Investment Market (AIM) was set up to support businesses in their early growth stages. A lot of the time though, investors systematically overlook these opportunities. Alternative investments The requirements for listing on AIM are lower than the main UK markets. So it provides opportunities for companies – and investors – that they wouldn’t otherwise have access to. Often though, AIM-listed companies get overlooked by institutions. One –…
