FTSE 100 banks outperform but face tougher waters ahead

The FTSE 100’s banking constituents breezed through the second quarter results season as interest income remained stable and trading income soared on the back of market volatility. The ‘Big Five’ banks of London’s flagship stock index – Barclays, HSBC, Natwest, Lloyds and Standard Chartered – pocketed a combined £12.8bn in the three months to June 30. Though the period was not without its dramas with HSBC forced to set aside $2.1bn (£1.58) in w…United Kingdom · United Kingdom See the Story

See what £10,000 invested in either BP or Shell shares one year ago is worth today

BP (LSE: BP) and Shell (LSE: SHEL) shares are prone to struggle when the oil price is falling, but that’s not the only factor affecting performance. If it was, their shares would bob up and down, in line with energy costs and each other. And they’re not. Brent crude has fallen from $76 to $68 a barrel in a year, a drop of roughly 10%, and that’s weighed on both stocks. Yet BP has struggled more, with its shares down 12%, while Shell has slipped …BP · London Read Article

Is a penny share the same as a cheap share?

If someone buys a share for a penny and it reaches a pound, their return will be 10,000%. Buying the same share at 50p and seeing it hit a pound means a return of a far more modest 100%. That logic has an attractive element to it. But it is also highly simplistic. Some penny shares turn out to be screaming bargains. Others though, fall until they are worthless. So, does being a price in pennies make a share cheap? How to value shares The answer …Stock Markets · United Kingdom Read Article

Is the Vodafone share price set to overtake high-flying BT Group? See what the forecasts say

I gave up on the Vodafone (LSE: VOD) share price years ago. Although I was impressed by CEO Margherita Della Valle, who laid out a clear recovery plan after her appointment in April 2023, I felt the stock had struggled for too long to justify buying in. Many investors were drawn to its generous yield. But that was more a result of a collapsing share price than genuine strength. The dividend was cut by 40% in 2019 and 50% this March. For a long t…London, England · London Read Article

How many Barclays shares do investors need to buy to target a £1,000 second income?

Barclays‘ (LSE:BARC) shares have been on a phenomenal run of late. In 2025 alone, shareholders have enjoyed a near-40% capital gain. And when zooming out to the last five years, the banking giant’s expanded its market-cap by a whopping 270%! The main driver of this fantastic performance is, of course, higher interest rates. And even as the Bank of England’s been cutting rates, profits have continued to grow. That’s through a combination of finan…London, England · London Read Article

In the last five years, few British investments have come close to delivering the gargantuan 1,160% return of Rolls-Royce (LSE:RR.) shares. And with a promising outlook across all of its divisions, it seems like this upward trajectory’s set to continue over the long term. Even more so, now that management’s restored dividends, a strong signal of cash flow confidence. So how much money could an investor make over the next 12 months if they bought…London, England · London Read Article
