Image source: Getty Images As Lloyds (LSE:LLOY) shares edges closer to what many investors would consider fair value, my attention is turning to alternative options in the UK banking sector. One AIM-listed name that stands out is Arbuthnot Banking Group (LSE:ARBB). It’s much smaller, with a markedly different profile, but appears to be an attractive proposition. And while Lloyds remains a staple for income and stability, Arbuthnot offers a blend of value, growth, and yield. This could appeal to investors seeking something beyond the big high street banks. Valuation is key Looking at the numbers, the contrast between the two…
Image source: Getty Images US growth stocks have largely been on a stellar run since the start of 2023. That certainly has been the case with Cellebrite DI (NASDAQ:CLBT), climbing by over 480% and reaching an all-time high in February. Yet since then, its performance has slipped a bit. Its 2024 fourth-quarter earnings missed the mark, as did its subsequent 2025 first-quarter results. And while the miss was small, growth inventors tend to be quite unforgiving towards businesses trading at lofty valuations. So seeing a 36% pullback from its February highs isn’t a major surprise. However, with the stock now…
Image source: Getty Images As the FTSE 100 nears record levels, yields fall, valuations stretch and quality income stocks become harder to find. But while large-cap shares dominate headlines, the lesser-travelled world of penny stocks could be harbouring some surprising income potential. Penny stocks are often disregarded due to their speculative nature. They can be illiquid, volatile and lack reliable financials. Many are small-cap growth stories without a history of profitability, let alone dividends. But amid the noise, there are a few gems that stand out as possible exceptions. One such company is Ultimate Products (LSE: ULTP). A simple business…
Image source: Getty Images InterContinental Hotels Group (LSE: IHG) has lost a quarter of its value in just four months. However, the FTSE 100 stock is still up more than 100% over five years, even after the sharp pullback from 10,880p to 8,240p since February. Here’s why I think it’s just a matter of time before the stock gets back to winning ways. Attractive business model IHG, as it’s known, is one of the world’s biggest hotel companies, operating across more than 100 countries. The group’s brands span budget (Holiday Inn) to luxury (InterContinental, Kimpton, and Regent), but it has…
Episode 8 of StreetSmart features an interview with Hana Creger, the Associate Director of Climate Equity with the Greenlining Institute. The interview was conducted on June 3 before the budget deals, and before ICE raids sparked protest in Los Angeles and many other parts of the state.A brief part of the conversation – about the state budget – may now seem a little dated, but since it was surrounded by the rest of the discussion on how to message to win over a broader segment of the public, SBCA decided to leave it as it is. For those keeping score at…

WASHINGTON (AP) — The average rate on a 30-year U.S. mortgage fell modestly for the second straight week, but home borrowing costs remain elevated. The long-term rate inched back to 6.84% from 6.85% last week, mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday. A year ago, the rate averaged 6.95%. Mortgage rates are influenced by several factors, from the Federal Reserve’s interest rate policy decisions to bond market investors’ expectations for the economy and inflation. The key barometer is the 10-year Treasury yield, which lenders use as a guide to pricing home loans. The 10-year Treasury yield was at 4.38% at midday…
