Image source: Getty Images The dividend yield on Associated British Foods‘ (LSE:ABF) shares is decent rather than spectacular, at around 3%. But I believe it’s still one of the FTSE 100‘s most attractive dividend stocks to consider today. Excluding 2020, the clothes retailer and food supplier has grown annual payouts in nine of the last 10 years alone. And dividends have risen strongly since it suspended dividends during the Covid-19 pandemic. For the last financial year (ended September), ABF increased the ordinary dividend 33% to 63p per share. It also forked out a 27p per share special dividend. City analysts…

By Jessica DiNapoli NEW YORK (Reuters) – Ice cream brand Ben & Jerry’s said in a lawsuit filed Wednesday that parent company Unilever (LON:) has silenced its attempts to express support for Palestinian refugees, and threatened to dismantle its board and sue its members over the issue. The lawsuit is the latest sign of the long-simmering tensions between Ben & Jerry’s and consumer products maker Unilever. A rift erupted between the two in 2021 after Ben & Jerry’s said it would stop selling its products in the Israeli-occupied West Bank because it was inconsistent with its values, a move that…

Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images Nvidia is set to launch its next-gen Blackwell GPU chip, boosting the prospect for more stock gains.

Trump unnerved Taiwan on the campaign trail by accusing it of stealing American chip business. Trump also proposed a 10% tariff on all U.S. imports and a 60% levy on Chinese-made products. Taking lawmaker questions, Taiwan central bank governor Yang Chin-long said that the semiconductors and other tech products manufactured on the island are materials of such strategic importance that their supply chain should not be…
