Meet the S&P 500 stock I’ve just added to my portfolio…
|
In general, I think the S&P 500 looks heavily concentrated and expensive – not qualities I look for in an investment. But within the index I’ve found a stock to add to my portfolio. I suspect a lot of UK investors are unlikely to have heard of Molina Healthcare (NYSE:MOH). I’ve been taking a closer look though, and I like the look of what I’m seeing… very much. Medicaid is the US government’s healthcare provision for – primarily – low income individuals. It’s administered by individual states via a series of private companies that make the care happen. Molina Healthcare’s one of these providers. The basic idea is that it gets money from a state and uses this to connect patients to doctors, hospitals, or whatever else they need in terms of healthcare. Around 80% of Molina’s revenues come from Medicaid and that makes it vulnerable to changes in government policy. And such changes are why the stock’s down 36% in the last 12 months. That’s the risk – and there’s not much the company can do about it. But I think the business has some unique advantages that make the falling share price a potential buying opportunity. Medicaid providers can’t increase the amount they charge individual states so the amount they get is fixed. What they can do however, is keep their own costs low – and Molina excels in this area. Providers are required to spend at least 85% of what they receive on care. That means their profitability comes down to how they use the remaining 15% to cover their operating expenses. This is where Molina separates itself from other providers. Its cost ratios are typically lower than the likes of Centene, Elevance Health, or UnitedHealth Group and this is a huge advantage. Lower costs mean the firm can keep making money while others are barely breaking even – 2025 being a good example. And this is why the stock jumps out at me from a buying perspective. The obvious question is why Molina’s able to keep its costs lower than competitors – and why the likes of UnitedHealth can’t do something similar. There are several reasons. One is the company’s focus on government-funded programmes. This means it avoids the costs that other businesses incur in marketing to employers that provide healthcare for employees. A bigger reason though, is focus. This shows up in both the firm’s IT systems (where it uses a single platform) and in its physical presence (where it avoids separate offices in individual states). This means Molina has much lower staffing requirements. And this translates into a cost structure that rivals can’t match without spending billions on a digital transformation and reducing staff. Having lower costs than the competition is one of the most important advantages a business can have. And when that’s a long-term strength, I get the interested in the stock as a potential investment. I think this is the case with Molina Healthcare. That’s why I’ve been seeing the ongoing challenges in the US healthcare sector as an opportunity to start buying the stock for my portfolio.

After crashing up to 63%, are these among the best UK stocks to buy now?
|
It might seem strange but I reckon a good place to start when looking for stocks to buy is at the bottom of the performance league tables. With most attention paid to the top performers, it can take a while for investors to notice some of the hidden gems at the other end of the table. However, by getting in early, it’s sometimes possible to bag yourself a bit of a bargain. Over the past 12 months, Playtech (LSE:PTEC) and the London Stock Exchange Group (LSE:LSEG) have seen their share prices fall 63% and 27% respectively. So what’s going on? Have two potentially lucrative buying opportunities emerged? Playtech provides software and technology solutions to the gambling industry. But since January 2025, its share price has been the second-worst performer on the FTSE 250. However, most of the fall occurred in May, when the stock went ex-dividend. The group returned $5.73 a share to shareholders following the sale of one of its businesses. But that’s not the full story. There’s another issue that resulted in its share price falling 22.5%, when details emerged in October of legal action being brought by Swedish rival Evolution. The lawsuit claims that Playtech hired a firm of private investigators to discredit the group. The British company describes the allegations as “wholly untrue”. Citi says Playtech’s shares are undervalued, even after taking into account a potential adverse outcome from the legal action. The broker has a 355p price target, around 28% higher than today’s (23 January) share price. The consensus of analysts is 418p. Another potential issue is that the sector doesn’t appeal to everyone, meaning there’s a smaller pool of potential buyers. The Gambling Commission reckons 1.4m people in the UK have, or are close to having, an unhealthy addiction to betting. And in the November budget, taxes for some online bets were increased significantly. The group said there would be an impact on its EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation) of “high-teens millions of euro”. As mitigation, the group explains it has customers in many international markets. Having said that, others could copy the UK government’s example. For those comfortable with the industry, I reckon the stock’s worth considering. It has an impressive track record of growth and a geographically diverse customer base in both regulated and unregulated betting markets. Despite its name, the London Stock Exchange Group’s about more than running the UK stock market. It also provides financial data, analytics, and risk management solutions to around 44,000 customers in over 170 countries. One of its strengths is its impressive gross profit margin (86.8% in 2024) reflecting the specialised nature of its services and its less price-conscious blue-chip client base. Admittedly, its shares aren’t cheap. But if it can deliver the 2027 earnings forecast of analysts, they’re not expensive by historical standards. Obvious threats include a cyber security attack. And fears that artificial intelligence (AI) could damage its business are probably behind its 2025 share price drop. Rivals offering similar – but cheaper – alternative services could emerge. But the group has huge amounts of data at its fingertips, which is the one thing that AI software needs in spades. On balance, I still think the stock’s one to consider.

How I’m targeting £3,000 a month in passive income with just £50 a week
|
I’m investing just £50 a week with one clear goal: to earn passive income of up to £3,000 a month! It’s an ambitious target, I’ll admit, but nothing worth doing was ever easy. So how will I go about turning my meagre £50 weekly savings into an income I can comfortably retire on? For those who don’t know, dividends are small percentages of an investment paid back to the shareholder as a kind of reward. For example, £1,000 invested in a company with a 7% yield would return £70 annually as a ‘thank you’. You still own your £1,000 worth of shares and now have some extra cash as a bonus. But the real trick to making dividends work for you is by reinvesting them back into the stock. In this way, you harness the power of compounding returns and skyrocket your portfolio value. The chart below illustrates how a 7%-returning portfolio can balloon to over £37k in 10 years, with just £26k invested. This powerfully demonstrates why Einstein allegedly called compound interest “the eighth wonder of the world“. The gains represent a 43% return on invested capital over 10 years — and crucially, the gains will accelerate over time. This is why it’s so important to start investing as early as possible. Sadly, for my goal, I may be a bit late. By my calculations, it would take around 40 years to compound to over £500,000 — the amount needed to return £3,000 a month (at 7%). If my stock picks perform better than expected, I may be lucky — but chances are I’ll need to settle for less. However, anybody 30 years’ younger could realistically hit this target by retirement. I picked a 7% average because I believe it’s a realistically achievable yield. While higher returns may be possible, it increases risk – and I prefer to err on the side of caution. This also applies to my stock picks. Rather than gamble on speculative AI hype stories, I opt for tried-and-tested companies backed by decades of solid performance. A good example for investors to consider is Smith & Nephew (LSE: SN). Having paid dividends continuously since 1937, its 88 years of uninterrupted payments is one of the longest track records in the UK. The company’s older than the NHS and has stuck to its dividend policy through every market stress since the Great Depression, spanning multiple recessions, wars and economic downturns. Still, it’s not immune to risk. Facing multiple hip implant lawsuits across the US, it may be hit by unexpected cash settlements, potentially disrupting dividend-supporting earnings growth. Encouragingly, it enjoys 81% institutional ownership (as of Q2 2025) from big names such as BlackRock (6.5%), Cevian Capital (5.1%) and Vanguard (4.7%). These are not fly-by-night buyers — they’re deep-value investors with rigorous due diligence processes. Their commitment signals extraordinary confidence in the business. While Smith & Nephew exhibits long-term reliability, its yield seldom rises above 3% (doing little to support my 7% average). That’s why it’s important to diversify, balancing low-risk options with some sustainable high-yielders. Legal & General, M&G, Investec and British American Tobacco are some examples of high-yielders with long track records of reliable returns. And they’re just a few of the options that look appealing this month. The post How I’m targeting £3,000 a month in passive income with just £50 a week appeared first on The Motley Fool UK.

I asked ChatGPT how to earn a second income on the stock market. Here’s what it said…
|
I already know how to earn a second income on the stock market but I’m always open to new ideas. So I thought I’d ask everybody’s favourite AI chatbot, ChatGPT. Now, it’s fair to say that taking investment tips from a generative AI bot probably isn’t the smartest move. But since it collates and aggregates information from across the internet, I thought it might find some gems of wisdom among the noise. And, in fact, I was pleasantly surprised. I wouldn’t say it quite cracked the code of generational wealth and instant retirement — but the response was well-formulated. Initially, it asked the same questions most of us ask when queried about similar topics: “How much can you afford to invest? What’s your timeline? What are your goals? etc.” I replied with answers best suited to the average investor: £25,000 to £50,000 with a 10 to 20-year horizon, targeting a mix of growth and income. This is what it had to say. Straight off the bat, ChatGPT highlighted the tax benefits of investing via a Stocks and Shares ISA. This is particularly important given dividend tax rates rise from 8.75% to 10.75% (basic rate) in April 2026. Please note that tax treatment depends on the individual circumstances of each client and may be subject to change in future. The content in this article is provided for information purposes only. It is not intended to be, neither does it constitute, any form of tax advice. Readers are responsible for carrying out their own due diligence and for obtaining professional advice before making any investment decisions. It then outlined a conservative, well-balanced strategy of 60% quality FTSE 100 dividend stocks, 30% higher-yielders, and 10% cash reserves. The iShares UK Dividend ETF was also mentioned for those looking for simplified diversification. It also provided standard allocation guidelines: no sector exceeding 25% and no more than 6% in any single stock. So far, so good. But for quality Footise stocks, it named three finance picks: Legal & General, Phoenix Group, and M&G. That’s too concentrated for me — I’d mix it up with a utility like National Grid, or a well-established real estate investment trust (REIT). For examples of higher-yielders, it picked another finance stock, Ashmore, and the renewable energy REIT Greencoat UK Wind. Overall, a decent — albeit basic — strategy. Still, I can’t say I’d agree with the stock picks. When it comes to high-yielding mid-caps, there’s one stock I would consider before any others. Supermarket Income REIT (LSE: SUPR) owns critical retail and warehouse spaces rented to big name grocers like Tesco and Sainsbury’s. With long, inflation-linked leases stretching into the low teens, it provides solid visibility on rising rents even as economic challenges linger. Plus, it’s defensive by nature: people always need to eat, and omnichannel grocery has proven resilient through thick and thin. And the cherry on top is a meaty 7.7% yield, paid quarterly. Dividend growth is modest but consistent, ticking up 1%-2% annually, which fits nicely for a portfolio aiming for reliable passive income. But as always, it’s not without risk. Dividend coverage is thin, with earnings only just covering them, and cash only covering 50%. This is not unusual for REITs, but still, it leaves slim margin for error. If rents stall or financing costs bite, a dividend cut isn’t off the cards. But with eight years of uninterrupted payments and seven years of growth, I’m optimistic about its future.

3 UK shares tipped to more than DOUBLE my money in 2026!
|
UK shares roared back into life last year, with some leading FTSE 100 giants even delivering returns that more than doubled investors’ money. For example, Fresnillo shares surged by a whopping 400% in 2025, while Airtel Africa more than tripled! But as every experienced investor knows, past performance doesn’t guarantee future results. So now that 2026 has kicked off, which stocks could potentially deliver similar explosive gains? Here are three top picks from institutional investors. First up is PureTech Health (LSE:PRTC) – a clinical-stage biotech enterprise with a diversified portfolio of drug candidates. Revenues have been quite lumpy in recent years, and higher interest rates have made it more expensive to fund research. However, the analyst team at Peel Hunt believe investors are drastically undervaluing the earnings potential of the group’s drug portfolio should its treatments eventually receive the regulatory green light. Bringing new drugs to the commercial market is obviously easier said than done, with most attempts ending in failure. But if PureTech’s successful, the Peel Hunt team believes the stock could skyrocket to 508p – a massive 278% potential gain! AFC Energy‘s (LSE:AFC) another UK stock with explosive potential, according to experts. The most optimistic share price forecasts for the fuel cell technology business suggest a 145% capital gain. And it isn’t hard to see why some experts are excited. With more governments worldwide striving to reach Net Zero, AFC’s hydrogen fuel cell technology offers a unique solution to off-grid clean energy needs for electric vehicle (EV) recharging stations, data centres, and even construction sites. Of course, the hydrogen market remains young, with adoption unproven. And with AFC only recently starting to ship its fuel cells to customers, it isn’t clear whether it can scale up operations smoothly. Nevertheless, with commercial orders now starting to emerge, the group’s seemingly at the beginning of a long and potentially lucrative journey. Synthomer‘s (LSE:SYNT) also flagged for its exciting potential, with an average 130p share price target among experts — 115% higher than where the stock trades today. Now that demand for its speciality polymers and adhesives is back on the rise, the multi-year downturn in its share price could be set to reverse. Even more so, given all the self-help initiatives the business has been executing to bolster margins. However, the exact speed and timing of this recover remains a bit of a question mark with its Coatings & Construction Solutions segment continuing to face cyclical pressures that could delay its rebound. All three businesses seemingly have substantial untapped growth potential that could propel investor portfolios in 2026. But similarly, each is also navigating tough challenges that could ultimately prevent them from realising these gains. That’s why, no matter how optimistic the share price forecasts look on paper, investors always need to do a deep dive to make sure they understand both the risks and potential rewards. And personally, I think there are many better, lower-risk UK shares to take advantage of today. The post 3 UK shares tipped to more than DOUBLE my money in 2026! appeared first on The Motley Fool UK.

At £1, can the Lloyds share price be justified?
|
Lloyds‘ (LSE:LLOY) shares have surpassed £1. When I was stocking up on Lloyds’ shares two and three years ago, I didn’t truly believe the stock would push this high. But it has, and I’m delighted. The only issue is whether this valuation’s sustainable and whether it could go higher still. Let’s explore. British and European banks have long traded at a structural discount to their US peers, and that gap persists even after the sector’s recovery. Lloyds trades on roughly 10.4 times forward earnings, while JP Morgan, for example, commands closer to 14.5 times. Some of that difference is permanent. US banks benefit from structurally higher returns on equity, deeper capital markets, more diversified fee income and a regulatory framework that, while demanding, has historically been more supportive of scale and profitability. Of course, banks are cyclical and they reflect the health of the economy. It seems likely that American banks will deliver stronger returns over the long term than British banks, but actually the medium-term forecast suggests the opposite. UK banks are delivering the type of earnings expansion unseen for years. Why do I mention this? Well, it’s important context. Valuations are always relative to one another. There’s an argument that UK banks could push higher still because their American peers are more expensive, especially on growth-adjusted metrics. I get that argument, but the sad nature of long-term growth in the UK will inevitably hold British banks back. FTSE 100 bank Lloyds is expected to grow earnings by 29.9% in FY26. That’s awesome, but it’s not going to be sustainable over the long run. And without an investment arm, it’s going to remain highly dependent on net interest income from its lending business. That concentration leaves earnings inherently cyclical. Strong profit growth can persist while credit conditions remain benign and margins hold up, but history suggests there’s a ceiling. As the cycle turns, margin pressure and slower loan growth typically follow. Ultimately, the valuation case depends on how far earnings can rise before that cyclicality reasserts itself. I remain sceptical about Lloyds’ near-term potential because the outlook’s finely balanced. Much depends on the path of interest rates over the next two-to-three years. Banks typically perform best in a so-called Goldilocks zone, where policy rates sit around 2.5%-3.5% — high enough to support margins, but not so restrictive that credit demand weakens. In the current environment, that balance looks fragile. Yes, we’re moving toward the Goldilocks zone, but we could also move through it. And that’s where this valuation justification comes into play. On face value, yes I believe it justifies the £1 per share, but I’m not sure it can appreciate more in the near term. Personally, I’m wondering whether there are better opportunities outside FTSE 100 banks. I still think Lloyds is a good stock, worth considering for the long run. But explosive near-term growth is off the cards. The post At £1, can the Lloyds share price be justified? appeared first on The Motley Fool UK.

£5,000 in Aviva shares could unlock this much passive income…
|
Passive income is the dream, but it only becomes real when you put a number on it. The following chart doesn’t claim to be a prediction – it’s a reminder of what can happen when you invest in a resilient business like Aviva (LSE:AV.) and stay invested for the long term. It shows the median outcome across 100 simulations, not one lucky path or a worst-case scenario. Chart generated by author I modelled a stock market crash just two years into the 25-year timeline. That’s the moment every long-term investor fears: the portfolio drops sharply and the urge to sell becomes loud. The model assumes a realistic, 30% share-price drop during the crash year, and dividends are reduced too. Yet the crash isn’t a fixed event. The model builds in volatility, so outcomes vary – sometimes better, sometimes worse, just like real markets. Across all 100 simulations, the median value of the portfolio after 25 years is around £12,000. Of course, some simulations were higher and some lower. But the median result is what matters here. What matters isn’t the occasional outlier, but the steady trend: dividends continue, are reinvested at lower prices, and buy more shares when the market is down. That’s compounding in action. The following chart highlights how that £7,000 gain is created. The vast majority comes from dividends collected and reinvested, with a small amount from modest price growth baked into the model. The chart is normalised to 1, so over 25 years the typical run doubles the number of shares owned – meaning reinvested dividends buy roughly twice as many shares as were started with. Chart created by author Last year was the insurer’s best since the global financial crisis, with the stock up about 42%. But for income investors like me, the bigger question is whether the dividend can stay reliable once the market stops paying attention. In the last financial year, earnings didn’t cover the dividend, but cash flow certainly did – by over nine times. That matters because cash flow is what actually funds the payout. Still, accounting metrics like earnings and cash flow aren’t the only lens I use when looking at an insurer. Most of Aviva’s future profits are tied up in the CSM (contractual service margin). Think of it as a reserve of future profits built into the business. As policies mature, that profit is released gradually, which helps smooth earnings over time. And it’s been growing fast: year on year, the CSM is up about 58%. That’s important because it suggests the company has a steady pipeline of profits to support the dividend, even when markets wobble. Of course, there are risks. Motor and home premiums have been falling recently, and if that continues it could squeeze margins at Direct Line. High competition and persistent claims costs could force further price cuts, which would pressure future earnings and the dividend. Even so, Aviva remains a stock I’m happy to hold for passive income. The dividend yield is attractive, the cash flow cover looks solid, and the business has a steady profit engine beneath it. 2025 may have been a standout year, but the company’s core ability to generate cash and pay dividends feels more durable than its ‘boring’ reputation suggests.

The Sun's Red Dwarf Neighbors Provide Clues to Origins of Carbon and Oxygen
|
We live near a fusion reactor in space that provides all our heat and light. That reactor is also responsible for the creation of various elements heavier than hydrogen, and that's true of all stars. So, how do we know that stars are element generators?

The Many Faces of Monster Galaxies
|
The earliest galaxies in the universe earned the nickname "monster galaxies" for good reason, they formed stars at rates hundreds of times faster than the Milky Way, growing rapidly after the dawn of time. Astronomers using ALMA and the James Webb Space Telescope have now revealed that three such monsters each achieved their extraordinary growth through completely different mechanisms. By comparing where stars are forming today with where they formed in the past, researchers discovered that galaxy collisions, internal instability, and minor mergers can all trigger these growth spurts, fundamentally changing our understanding of how the universe's most massive galaxies came to be.

An Almost-Famous Galaxy Cluster Is The JWST's Picture Of The Month
|
<img alt="This is MACS J1149, a massive galaxy cluster used as a gravitational lens. It's about 5 billion light-years away and contains at least 300 galaxies, and likely many hundreds more.

The JWST uses galaxy clusters and their overpowering to magnify background galaxies that are otherwise beyond our observational capabilities. One cluster, named MACS J1149.5+2223, is 5 billion light-years away and holds at least 300 galaxies, probably many more. It's been chosen as the JWST's Picture Of The Month.

Ancient giant kangaroos could hop after all
|
Giant kangaroos that lived during the Ice Age may not have been as slow and grounded as once believed. A new study finds their leg bones and tendons were likely strong enough to support hopping, despite their massive size. Rather than traveling this way all the time, these animals may have relied on short bursts of hopping. This ability could have played a key role in escaping predators.

A brain glitch may explain why some people hear voices
|
New research suggests that auditory hallucinations in schizophrenia may come from a brain glitch that confuses inner thoughts for external voices. Normally, the brain predicts the sound of its own inner speech and tones down its response. But in people hearing voices, brain activity ramps up instead, as if the voice belongs to someone else. The discovery could help scientists develop early warning signs for psychosis.

This one gene may explain most Alzheimer’s cases
|
Alzheimer’s may be driven far more by genetics than previously thought, with one gene playing an outsized role. Researchers found that up to nine in ten cases could be linked to the APOE gene — even including a common version once considered neutral. The discovery reshapes how scientists think about risk and prevention. It also highlights a major opportunity for new treatments aimed at a single biological pathway.

Monster Neutrino Could Be a Messenger of Ancient Black Holes
|
Nearly three years ago, a particle from space slammed into the Mediterranean Sea and lit up the partially complete Cubic Kilometer Neutrino Telescope (KM3NET) detector off the coast of Sicily. The particle was a neutrino, a fundamental component of matter commonly known for its ability to slip through other matter unnoticed. The IceCube observatory in Antarctica, a comparable detector that has… Source
