Plug Power (NASDAQ: PLUG) shares jumped today, and investors see a path for more gains to come. That’s not because of any news directly from the hydrogen power company.

Rising international tensions have led to a substantial uptick in global defense spending. The United States alone has committed over $840 billion to its defense budget in fiscal year 2024, marking one of the highest defense allocations in history. NATO, too, is responding to the shifting geopolitical landscape, with 23 allies expected to meet or exceed the target of investing at least 2% of GDP in defense this year.

Image source: Getty Images B&M European Value Retail (LSE:BME) is on my list of stocks to consider buying right now. With the shares falling 29% since the start of the year, the dividend yield has reached 3.7%. Furthermore, I think the stock market is underestimating the company’s growth prospects. While there are challenges, there are also clear opportunities. Why is the stock down? B&M isn’t an obvious choice, by any means. Compared to other FTSE 100 stocks, it has quite significant short interest and the share price reached a new 52-week low recently. Competition is the main reason for this.…
