Image source: Getty Images I have my eye on a couple of FTSE 250 companies whose shares look like they might be cheap. And they’re in closely related businesses. Building materials supplier Travis Perkins (LSE: TPK) is one. It operates the Wickes chain and other outlets as well as selling under its own name. The share price has fallen nearly 70% since a high in 2021, taking it 50% down over the past five years. I know the construction business has been suffering under the cosh of high interest rates. But I can’t help feeling this fall looks overdone. Turnaround…

Image source: Getty Images Of all the stocks in the FTSE 100 index, Games Workshop (LSE: GAW) is my favourite. This choice is made easier when the share price is up 107% in three years, and continues to make money in my portfolio. Games Workshop stock rose again today (29 July), up 5.7% to 16,140p. In 10 years, the Warhammer maker has returned around 2,700%, not including cash dividends (of which there have been plenty). Let’s take a look at why this FTSE 100 outperformer is on the move right now. A cracking year Games Workshop has just published its…
Prof. Thomas Brück and other researchers have developed a process to make carbon fibers from renewable raw materials. Credit: Andreas Heddergott/TUM Carbon fibers are essential in aviation, wind energy, and lightweight construction. However, since they are based on petroleum, their production has been very harmful to the environment. A research consortium led by the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has now succeeded in developing a production process for carbon fibers from renewable raw materials. Project coordinator Prof. Thomas Brück, head of the TUM Chair of Synthetic Biotechnology, emphasizes, “With the joint GreenCarbon project, we have taken a major step toward…
Image source: Getty Images Over the past five years Barclays (LSE: BARC) shares have more than trebled in price. The primary driver for improving fundamentals has been a widening gap between the interest the bank charges its borrowers compared to that paid out to savers. After selling out of my holdings a couple of months back, I’m wondering if I made a mistake. H1 results Total income for the blue-eagle bank surged 12% to £14.9bn in H1. Apart from its US consumer bank division, every business unit reported double-digit revenue increases. The standout performer was its investment banking division, which…

Carbon County is losing its grant coordinator. During the county commissioners’ meeting this month, the board approved the resignation of Valerie A. Saveri of Jim Thorpe, who has served in this position since last June. The commissioners each expressed that Saveri had been an asset to the county, finding several grants to help various department. “Val has proven, not only because of her work ethic, but the value of having a grant coordinator in Carbon County,” said Commissioners’ Chairman Mike Sofranko. “Val has taken that position to a level we thought would take years to get to.

By Michael S. Derby (Reuters) -A U.S. senator’s recent push to strip the Federal Reserve of a key aspect of how it controls interest rates and the battle over who will succeed Fed Chair Jerome Powell point to a future where some of the tools policymakers use to influence the economy come under greater scrutiny. There’s no sense of imminent changes in the Fed’s monetary policy mechanics. But that may not always be the case, especially as President Donald Trump, a persistent critic of the central bank who wants it to reduce interest rates, prepares to name a successor for…
Image source: Getty Images As years go, 2025 will surely go down as one that owners of Greggs (LSE: GRG) shares will want to forget. The stock’s lost height again today, following the release of half-year numbers. Look out below! Total sales rose 7% in the 26 weeks to 28 June. While this may look pretty reasonable, the trading period was affected by lower footfall in areas where the company operates. Quite a lot of that was down to the seriously hot weather seen across the UK in June. Costs also played a role. Collectively, these variables pushed pre-tax profit…
