Image source: Getty Images It has been an excellent year for shareholders in FTSE 250 firm Hochschild Mining (LSE: HOC). The Hochschild Mining share price has soared 106% so far this year. Over five years, the gain has been a more modest 39%. Still, I regard that as a solid performance. The FTSE 250 is actually down 4% over that time period, so Hochschild is well ahead of its peers. After such a strong performance in 2024, is Hochschild a share I think investors should consider as we head towards the end of one year and start of another? Favourable…

Image source: Getty Images FTSE 100 firm Smith & Nephew’s (LSE: SN) shares are down 21% from their 1 August 12-month high of £12.46. Such a fall raises the possibility to me of a bargain to be had. Why did the stock fall? Much of the price drop followed 31 October’s Q3 results release. These saw the firm reduce its 2024 underlying revenue growth guidance to “around 4.5%” from 5%-6% previously.
