Image source: Getty Images The deadline to shelter up to £20k in a Stocks and Shares ISA is fast approaching. For long-term investors, I think these two very different investment trusts are worth a look for anyone aiming to invest some ISA money soon. Value and dividends First up is BlackRock World Mining Trust (LSE: BRWM), which pretty much does what it says on the tin (pun intended). Mind you, tin doesn’t make up too much of the global mining trust’s portfolio. Today, it has a large weighting to copper, iron ore and steel, which should all experience steady long-term demand…

Image source: Getty Images ASOS (LSE:ASC) is a FTSE 250 stock that’s been attracting a lot of interest lately. That’s because the online retailer’s two largest shareholders have both decided to increase their stakes. On 17 March, Anders Holch Povlsen, and his father, Troels Holch Povlsen, increased their combined interest from 27.1% to 28%. Two days later, Frasers Group raised its shareholding from 24.21% to 25.1%. Both are now close to owning 30% of the company. Once this threshold is reached, City rules require an offer to be made for all of the remaining shares. A bit of a mystery…
A new report from the National Audit Office (NAO) has set out insights on models of private financing for public infrastructure projects. The report, from its studies and discussions with stakeholders in the public and private sectors, aims to support public bodies on how to finance new public infrastructure. In order to create the right conditions to support investor and public confidence, public bodies need clear objectives and a credible and consistent forward pipeline for investment, it stated.

Image source: Getty Images FTSE media firm ITV (LSE: ITV) has dropped 10% from its 22 July 12-month traded high of 88p. This might signal the business is worth less than before. Or it could indicate a stock undervaluation and therefore a bargain to be had. I did a deep dive into the firm and ran some key numbers to find out which is the case here. Are the shares undervalued? ITV trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of just 7.4 against an 11.9 average for its competitors. These comprise Atresmedia Corporación de Medios de Comunicación at 9.7, Métropole Télévision at 10.1, MFE-Mediaforeurope at 11.6, and RTL…
Image source: Getty Images One UK stock that I’ve been following is Fevertree Drinks (LSE: FEVR). Yesterday (25 March), it jumped 4.4% to 778p after the premium mixers maker released its preliminary 2024 results. This means the share price is up 16% so far this month, but still down 71% since late 2021. Should I invest? Let’s look at some details. Recovering profits Fevertree’s profitable growth came to a shuddering halt in 2022 when the business was hit by surging glass and transatlantic freight costs. Its gross margin fell sharply, causing the share price to plummet. However, there are signs…

Image source: Olaf Kraak via Shell plc Shell’s (LSE: SHEL) share price has tracked the benchmark Brent oil price higher this month. However, the stock is still down 6% from its 13 May one-year traded peak of £29.56. I think even that 12-month high is nowhere near the fair value of the energy giant. And I think a turning point in realising its full potential may be yesterday’s (25 March) strategy update. What’s the new idea? At its Capital Markets Day, it broadly announced its aim to become the world’s leading gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG) business. Gas is…
Care REIT‘s (LSE: CRT) a relatively small real estate investment trust (REIT) that has surged over 33% in the past month. In late February, it was trading near a five-year low at around 78p. Now it’s escaped penny stock territory, boasting the impressive price of £1.08 per share. Prior to the jump, it had barely made any gains in the past five years, so I had to find out what was going on — and will it keep going? Let’s take a look. Real estate investment trusts REITs are publicly traded companies that own, manage and develop income-generating property portfolios.…
