Image source: Getty Images It’s been a brutal few days for stock markets but some dividend income stocks have shown their defensive capabilities. While the FTSE 100 is down nearly 11.5% over the last week, two quiet achievers have managed to climb almost 5% each. In turbulent times like these, that kind of resilience grabs my attention. Especially when it’s from a sector I’ve ignored for years: water utilities. Utilities have long been seen as classic defensive stocks. People don’t suddenly stop turning on the taps or boiling the kettle during a downturn. Their earnings are typically regulated too, which…

Image source: Getty Images Around the world, share prices have come down significantly in recent days. As a result, many stocks now appear to offer a lot of value. Here, I’m going to highlight two stocks that currently look cheap to me. I think they’re worth considering today. A top digital payments stock First up, we have PayPal (NASDAQ: PYPL). It’s one of the largest digital payments companies in the world. Back in late January, this stock was trading near $90 (it’s listed in the US). Today however, it can be snapped up for less than $60. I see a…
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon said Monday that tariffs announced by President Donald Trump last week will likely boost prices on both domestic and imported goods, weighing down a U.S. economy that had already been slowing.Dimon, 69, addressed the tariff policy Trump announced on April 2 in his annual shareholder letter, which has become a closely-read screed on the state of the economy, proposals for the issues facing the U.S. and his take on effective management.”Whatever you think of the legitimate reasons for the newly announced tariffs – and, of course, there are some – or the long-term effect, good…

Image source: Getty Images As Donald Trump’s trade tariffs news shakes the FTSE 100 some of my favourite UK stocks are suddenly trading at massive discounts. I was running down the long list of FTSE fallers and found that five of my top picks have all dropped roughly 15% in just a week. They’re cheaper than before, but the problem is they’re riskier too. Should investors consider them today? HSBC Holdings has an even bigger yield I was a whisker away from buying HSBC Holdings last month. Now I have a second chance, and at a cheaper price. HSBC’s trailing…

Image source: Getty Images Aston Martin (LSE: AML) shares have performed woefully for ages. In the three months leading up to Christmas, the share price was skidding downhill like a car on an icy bend. But that 34% drop was nothing compared with what had gone before — down 93% in the previous five years! The FTSE 250 stock has fallen another 44% since Christmas Eve and currently sits at just 58p. This means anyone who made a £10k investment when presents were still under twinkling trees would now have just £5,600. What has gone wrong? There are a few key…
Image source: Getty Images The stock market’s taken a big hit in recent days. As a result, a lot of shares now look very cheap. Of course, not every ‘cheap’ stock is worth buying. But here are two I think are worth considering due to their long-term potential. A future FTSE 250 star? First up, we have Gamma Communications (LSE: GAMA). It’s a digital communications business that operates in the UK and Europe and has a strong growth track record (revenues have jumped 76% over the last five years). Gamma shares are currently trading for about 1,175p – nearly 25%…
Image source: Getty Images The global economic landscape’s shifting, and Donald Trump’s newly-imposed tariffs have added layers of complexity to international trade. Stock market volatility has been unprecedented. But what does this mean for shares such as Greggs (LSE:GRG)? Can the beloved purveyor of sausage rolls and steak bakes provide a safe haven amid this turmoil? A domestic champion Greggs is a UK-focused business, with over 2,000 company-managed shops and 561 franchised units. Its business model is firmly rooted in domestic operations, which shields it from direct exposure to international trade tariffs. Unlike companies reliant on imports or exports, Greggs…
