Palantir Technologies (NYSE: PLTR) has become one of the latest companies to stand out in the high-growth area of artificial intelligence (AI). Even though this technology player has been around for about 20 years, earnings have truly taken off in recent times. This is thanks to Palantir’s Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP), launched just last year, along with a surge in interest from commercial customers — in the past Palantir was most associated with government contracts.And all of this has helped Palantir stock to soar 150% so far this year. In fact, the stock has reached its highest level ever, trading…

Investing.com — Emerging markets have long held the allure of rapid growth potential and diversification benefits, but investors have often been burned by the volatility and structural risks associated with them. However, with shifts in economic fundamentals and global financial dynamics, a fresh evaluation is warranted. So, are emerging markets finally a buy? As per analysts at Sevens Report, emerging markets may indeed be approaching an opportune moment for investors to re-enter. Several factors suggest that these markets are not only cheap but also poised for a potential rally. One of the key reasons is the current valuation. The has…
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer marks 100 days in office Saturday with little cause for celebration.Starmer’s center-left Labour Party was elected by a landslide on July 4, sweeping back to power after 14 years. But after weeks of stories about feuding, freebies and fiscal gloom, polls suggest Starmer’s personal approval rating has plummeted, and Labour is only slightly more popular than a Conservative Party that was rejected by voters after years of infighting and scandal.”You couldn’t really have imagined a worse start,” said Tim Bale, professor of politics at Queen Mary University of London. “First impressions count, and it’s going…
Image source: Getty Images The Burberry share price (LSE: BRBY) has been through hell and taken me with it. Which leaves me facing a stark choice: do I grit my teeth and stick with my stock pick or get out while I can? I suppose I should consider myself lucky. Shares in the luxury brand have fallen 62.69% over 12 months. I’m down ‘just’ 38.51%. It’s still the worst performer in my portfolio (although Aston Martin seems desperate to play catch-up). Burberry was on my watchlist for years, but I resisted with the shares typically trading at an expensive price-to-earnings…

Investing.com – UBS has modelled five scenarios that could shape the investing outlook for 2025/2026, as it publishes its Global Market Outlook. The first scenario sees former President Donald Trump winning the presidency while Republicans win both houses of Congress, though fall short of a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate – the so-called Red Sweep. Fiscal policy in 2025 is roughly baked in, as most of the spending and tax policies are already in place, based upon existing agreements between the parties. But beyond 2025, big changes loom: most of the tax cuts enacted under the Tax Cuts and Jobs…

Warren Buffett sometimes says he’s a “business-picker” and not a stock-picker. He’s right, of course. However, the legendary investor doesn’t always pick individual businesses. Sometimes, Buffett picks a large basket of businesses.I’m referring to the exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in Berkshire Hathaway’s portfolio. Buffett’s ETFs have been big winners over the years. One of them even turned $10,000 into over $233,000.Image source: Getty Images.Buffett’s biggest moneymaking ETFBuffett doesn’t get very creative when selecting ETFs for Berkshire’s portfolio. The conglomerate owns only two funds — and they’re nearly identical.Berkshire owns 39,400 shares of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEMKT: SPY), which is…
Image source: Getty Images I’m looking at two FTSE 100 shares with some of the highest dividend yields, and they still look cheap to me. I’m always upbeat about the long-term future for the FTSE 100, as the UK stock market has wiped the floor with other types of investment for more than a century. But right now, the big dividends I’m seeing make me bullish about the short to medium-term too. Top dividend stock? M&G (LSE: MNG) might just be my top pick at the moment. It’s a retail savings and investment manager, and those tend not to be…
Investing.com — The upcoming U.S. presidential election, a potential face-off between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, holds major implications for India’s economic, geopolitical, and trade dynamics. As analyzed by TS Lombard, this election could influence India’s trade relations, strategic balance, and broader economic future. Historically, there has been bipartisan support in the U.S. for fostering stronger ties with India, driven by shared strategic interests like containing China’s influence, nurturing economic relations, and leveraging the growing Indian diaspora. Yet, both candidates—Trump and Harris—bring distinct approaches that could impact these ties differently. A Trump presidency, especially in its second term, might spell…
