Image source: British American Tobacco I’m always on the hunt for the best share to buy, and sometimes I start by asking which FTSE 100 stock did worst last month, and which did best. Normally, I’d be drawn to the laggard. As a long-term value investor, that’s often where the bargains lie. But July’s worst performer was advertising group WPP, down 20%, and frankly, I wouldn’t touch it today. Artificial intelligence is eating its lunch. So I turned to the winner instead and was surprised to see it was British American Tobacco (LSE: BATS), up 15%. That’s not a blip either. The share price is…

Luxembourg authorities are looking into possible wrongdoing tied to carbon-credit projects based in China that have been tapped by European companies to reduce their CO2 footprints. “The Prosecutor General’s office is currently investigating the matter,” a spokesperson at Luxembourg’s ministry of environment, climate and biodiversity told Bloomberg, declining to comment further. A spokesperson for Luxembourg’s public prosecutor’s office said the case concerns a complaint forwarded by the ministry in March and is “currently being processed.” The office hasn’t yet decided what action to take, the person said. Both the ministry and the prosecutor’s office declined to name the companies or…
Image source: Aston Martin A company that focuses on cars with fast acceleration needs to know about deceleration too. Unfortunately for luxury car marque Aston Martin Lagonda (LSE: AML), a lot of deceleration has taken place in its share price. Since listing in 2018, Aston Martin shares have shed 98% of their value. But is there some possible light at the end of the tunnel? There may be, and the company’s interim results released this week have me seeing more grounds for optimism on this score. In fact, I think one specific factor could help propel Aston Martin shares higher…
Image source: Getty Images Legal & General (LSE: LGEN) shares have been a disappointment. While other FTSE 100 financial stocks have picked up pace, including super soaraway rival, Aviva, L&G shares have fallen behind. The Legal & General share price is up 10% over the last year, but two-year growth is a meagre 7%, and long-term investors have even more reason to feel short-changed. The shares still trade at similar levels to a decade ago. FTSE 100 underperformer There is one consolation. This is one of the highest-yielding stocks on the index, with a trailing dividend yield of 8.33% today. That’s not bad…

As the energy transition accelerates, global demand for REEs is set to surge, raising major concerns around supply chain stability and geopolitical risks. Magnet REEs Demand Set to Triple as EVs and Wind Power Take Off A McKinsey report reveals that global demand for magnetic rare earth elements is projected to triple—from 59 kilotons in 2022 to 176 kilotons by 2035. This sharp rise is driven by booming electric vehicle adoption and the rapid expansion of wind power projects. Neodymium (Nd) and praseodymium (Pr) form the core of REE magnets, while dysprosium (Dy) and terbium (Tb) are added to enhance…

Sure, there has been a stream of gloomy headlines about the carmaker so far in 2025, pointing to worries such as falling car sales and the coming end of lucrative tax credits that have helped boost the company’s profitability.

Image source: Getty Images The Unilever (LSE: ULVR) share price has barely budged after today’s first-half results, with the stock market reacting with a familiar lack of excitement to another mixed update from the FTSE 100 giant. That feels par for the course. Unilever shares are down 5.8% over the last 12 months and 4.2% over five years. Not exactly thrilling for a business of this size and reputation. Personally, I’m relieved. I gave up on Unilever back in March and dropped the stock from my Self-Invested Personal Pension. Today’s numbers haven’t made me regret the move. Growth steady Unilever’s headline numbers weren’t awful.…
