Image source: Getty Images International Consolidated Airlines Group’s (LSE: IAG) share price has dropped 15% from its 7 February one-year traded high of £3.68. However, it has done so because of short-term factors that may disappear sooner rather than later, in my view. This would make its bearish-looking share price look like even more of a bargain than I thought it was before. What’s caused the drop in share price? The share price began to slide after the 1 February announcement of US tariffs on Mexico and Canada. Markets feared these might be extended to other countries. When they duly…

Image source: Getty Images I’m on the hunt for a dynamic growth share or two for my Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP), and Melrose Industries (LSE: MRO) has caught my eye. The FTSE 100 stock has jumped 12% in a month, although it’s down 10% over a year. Is this a one-off bounce or that start of something bigger? I’ve barely covered Melrose before, but its story feels eerily familiar. Like Rolls-Royce, it’s got fingers in both the civil and defence aerospace pies. Its Engines division supplies all the big jet makers and earns just over half its revenues from the juicy aftermarket engine…
Image source: Getty Images I am always extremely wary of FTSE 100 stocks that market insiders highly favour – ‘investment darling’ shares. As a former market insider myself, I know this clubby hype can lead to extreme overvaluations in stocks. One does not automatically follow the other, but it often does. A particular sort of firm that attracts this sort of attention in my experience is one that grows by buying other companies. Halma (LSE: HLMA) is a group of nearly 50 firms that make safety products for the health and environmental sectors. Its model is to identify companies that…
Image source: Getty Images The last decade has been a phenomenal period of growth for many Nasdaq stocks. Even with the disruptions of the pandemic and subsequent inflation, top-notch companies have adapted and thrived. And it’s not just the technology sector that’s delivered chunky gains. Sports drink manufacturer Celsius (NASDAQ:CELH) has captured a significant chunk of the health & fitness market, boosting sales to the point that the stock’s up 5,635% since the start of June 2015. That’s the equivalent of a 50% annualised return – enough to transform a £5,000 initial investment into £286,750! It’s worth mentioning that this…

Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) stock has had a phenomenal run over the last decade. As a result, the company has a huge market cap ($2.2trn) today. I believe there’s potential for significant growth from here, however. Here’s where I think the growth stock could be in three years. A tech powerhouse Many people still see Amazon as an online shopping company. It’s far more than that today though. These days, Amazon also has operations in cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, computer chips, video streaming, digital advertising, digital healthcare, self-driving cars, space broadband, and more. So, it’s essentially a technology conglomerate.…

Africa holds immense potential for nature-based climate solutions yet captures only 16% of the global carbon credits market – a $1.4bn industry projected to reach between $7-35bn by 2030 and potentially $250bn by 2050.The climate contradictionThe statistics paint a stark picture of climate injustice. Africa’s average surface temperature in 2024 was 0.86°C above the 1991-2020 average, with North Africa experiencing the fastest warming at…
Image source: Getty Images Investors may wish to take a closer look at US stocks Salesforce (NYSE:CRM) and Pinterest (NYSE:PINS) in July. These two technology leaders offer distinct growth profiles, while trading at particularly attractive levels. Here’s why I think they’re worth of consideration. Salesforce: the next stage of AI Salesforce remains the dominant force in customer relationship management software. Its integration of artificial intelligence (AI) — notably through its Einstein platform and recent Informatica acquisition — positions it at the forefront of enterprise digital transformation. The company is expected to deliver steady earnings growth, with consensus earnings per share…
Image source: Getty Images With so many underappreciated growth stocks listed in London, UK investors have plenty of opportunities to explore in 2025. And one company that’s getting a lot of attention from institutional investors is International Consolidated Airlines (LSE:IAG). With the long-haul travel industry making significant recovery progress over the last two years, sentiment surrounding IAG (as the business is more commonly know) has been warming. And for existing shareholders, that’s already translated into a 70% gain over the last 12 months. However, despite this impressive performance, it may just be the tip of the iceberg. In fact, back…
