Image source: Getty Images The MicroStrategy (NASDAQ: MSTR) share price is up a further 143% since I last wrote about it in early April. As far as I can tell, it’s now the best-performing US growth stock this year.  But that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a highly successful company. Far from its early days as a small software firm, it has recently reimagined itself as an AI-integrated cloud analytics company.

November 2024. FRANKFURT (Börse Frankfurt).

Super Micro Computer (SMCI) stock rose more than 20% in early trading Tuesday after the artificial intelligence server maker submitted a compliance plan with the SEC late Monday to avoid delisting from the Nasdaq. The company — which partners with Nvidia (NVDA) to provide high-tech servers with its AI chips and recently scored a major deal to supply those servers to Elon Musk’s xAI — said its compliance plan shows it is on track to submit delayed filings to the SEC “and become current with its periodic reports within the discretionary period available to the Nasdaq staff to grant.” Investors…

Image source: Getty Images When a stock goes down despite the underlying business making more money, there’s usually better value on offer for investors.

But with the stock falling almost 7%, is this a rare opportunity for me to buy one of the FTSE 100’s best growth stocks? Why is the stock falling? If the company is doing so well, why is the stock going down? As I see…

Negotiators at the COP29 climate summit last week looked to mark an early win with an agreement on rules for a UN-backed global market for trading carbon credits. The proposed rules include two standards: a methodology for developing and assessing eligible carbon credits and a set of requirements for projects that remove greenhouse gases. They were proposed by the Article 6.4 body, which is tasked with developing and supervising carbon market requirements and processes.  Carbon markets are a polarising issue in climate policy. Some see it as an effective way to incentivise firms and funnel critical investment into cutting emissions. Others argue…

By Maya Gebeily BEIRUT (Reuters) – Intensifying efforts for a truce in Lebanon have brought into focus the role of the country’s army, which would be expected to keep the south free of Hezbollah weapons but is neither willing nor able to confront the Iran-backed group, seven sources said. Hezbollah, though weakened by Israel’s year-long offensive, has long been stronger militarily than the Lebanese Armed Forces, which have stayed on the sidelines of the conflict even after Israel sent ground forces into south Lebanon on Oct. 1. While the army will likely be required to deploy thousands of troops to…
