This FTSE 250 stock has beaten the index by around 10x over the last year

Over the past year, the FTSE 250 is up 2.26%. Some might think this is rather underwhelming, but at least it’s still in positive territory. And within the index, there have been some notable performers. Here’s one FTSE 250 stock that has surged over 20%, marking a close-to-10x gain in comparison to passively putting money in an index tracker.

It’s gained 28% over five years and 7.25% in the last 12 months, with a dividend yield typically hovering around 5%. Yet I’ve never been tempted to buy in. Its monopoly-style earnings and predictable revenue streams are attractive, but it now faces an outsized challenge that, …United Kingdom · United Kingdom Read Article

Others, like billionaire Warren Buffett, start buying shares in school and spend decade after decade building wealth in the stock market. In the UK these days, that might involve a Junior ISA. So, is it best to start buying shares young – or later, with more life experience and perhaps more capital? Everyone is different The reality is that there is no single correct answer…United Kingdom · United Kingdom Read Article
