Will Lloyds shares rise 76% again in 2026?
Up to 29 December, Lloyds (LSE: LLOY) shares had shot up by 76% since the turn of the year. The performance gives ninth position to the black horse bank on the FTSE 100 leaderboard for 2025. An above-average dividend puts the icing on the cake here too! A similar performance for 2026 isn’t completely out of the realm of possibility either. Despite a monster year when Lloyds outperformed stocks all over the planet – including feted AI darling Nvidia among others – the valuation doesn’t look that stretched to my mind. The price-to-earnings ratio currently stands at 15 and the forward P/E at 11. Compare this to the FTSE 100 P/E average of 19 or indeed Nvidia of 47. This suggests that the rise in share price is justified by the earnings the bank makes. Could we still be looking at a cheap stock? Let’s take another commonly used valuation metric, the price-to-book ratio. This is a popular one in the banking sector because it compares the share price to its assets and liabilities – a useful judge for banks with massive balance sheets. The Lloyds P/B ratio currently stands at 1.25. This is fairly typical when compared with other FTSE 100 banks. But it’s well below historical averages. In the early 2000s, a P/B of 3 to 4 and even higher was the norm. This again suggests the overall market may be underpriced. Let’s say Lloyds storms 2026 again. What might it look like? Well, here are a few dates to keep an eye on. A big one is 5 February, which is when the Bank of England will meet to discuss interest rates. Banks tend to prefer higher rates as they offer better margins between the money they borrow and the money they lend. If the Old Lady of Threadneedle Street opts against many cuts this year, that could be good for banks with the caveat that defaults on loans are higher too – it can be a double-edged sword. With the last decision on a knife-edge – at a 5-4 vote – it looks like higher interest rates for longer could support Lloyds shares in 2026. I may be wrong, of course. An earlier date in the financial calendar to watch is 29 January, when Lloyds will announce preliminary full-year results. At the end of the day, a company’s earnings are what support increases in its share price. This was true in 2025 as Lloyds came out ahead of expectations on some important results. It should be true in 2026 as well and a surge of 76% or higher will ultimately depend on whether the bank can grow earnings. Only time will tell whether 2026 can be as good as 2025 was for Lloyds shares, but I’d say there’s enough here to be optimistic. I’d call it one to consider.

How much passive income will I get from investing £10,000 in an ISA for 10 years?
Retirement is edging closer, and I’m focused on maximising the passive income I can generate from investing in FTSE 100 shares. Most of my pot sits in a Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP), so now I’m accelerating contributions to a Stocks and Shares ISA. The two have complementary tax benefits, so I’m hoping to balance them out. 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. As a freelance writer, I may never fully retire, but I’d like to have the option to do so within a decade. I may struggle to invest £10,000 a year going forwards, but let’s assume I can. I certainly won’t be the only racing to play catch up, as retirement suddenly becomes the number one financial priority. Picking the right FTSE shares can speed things along nicely. So let’s say I invest £10,000 a year in higher-yielding FTSE 100 income stocks and generate an average annual return of 8%, with dividends reinvested. In that scenario, my ISA would grow to £156,454 after 10 years. That’s a solid return, but a decade isn’t enough to enjoy the real benefit from investing in shares, which is long-term compounding. Someone investing £10,000 a year over a 40-year working life could end up with a staggering £2.8m, assuming the same 8% a year growth. They’ve made four times the contributions but ended up with 18 times the final value. Time is the investor’s biggest ally, so don’t waste it. Now let’s also assume my ISA delivers an income yield of 5.5%. While that’s some way above the FTSE 100 average of 3.1%, I can target this by targeting higher-yielding stocks. If I’m right, my £156,454 will generate income of £8,605 a year, or £717 a month. Hardly riches, but a handy kicker on top of my other income sources. One stock I’m considering for my ISA is Phoenix Group Holdings (LSE: PHNX), which I already hold in my SIPP. The FTSE 100 insurer has a trailing yield of 7.4%, while the shares climbed 45% in the past year. With a price-to-earnings ratio just above 22, Phoenix is beginning to look expensive and I expect the shares may slow a little in 2026. The real draw is the dividend, which the board has increased for nine consecutive years. I believe shareholder payouts should prove sustainable, as Phoenix generates plenty of cash, with a £300m surplus last year, according to UBS. As with every stock, there are risks. Phoenix has to keep developing new areas of business to keep the cash rolling in. It operates in a competitive market where exciting new opportunities like bulk annuities quickly attract a host of rivals. Also, a wider stock market crash, which some expect next year, could hit the value of the £300bn-or-so of assets it holds to protect against insurance risks. I still think it’s well worth considering and will balance out these threats by investing in a spread of FTSE 100 dividend stocks. I can see plenty more brilliant high-yielding passive income stocks to consider today.

Down 34% in 2025 — but could this be one of the UK’s top growth stocks for 2026?
While some growth stocks outperformed in 2025, others faltered. And Judges Scientific (LSE:JDG) has seen its share price fall 34% in the last 12 months. The last year has been a tough one, but the equation looks very different as we move into 2026. In fact, I think this could be one of the UK’s top growth stocks in the year ahead. At the start of 2025, Judges Scientific shares were trading at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 24. That reflected some high investor expectations for future growth. This however, didn’t materialise. A key part of the market for scientific instruments is US universities and the government’s decision to reduce research spending stunted expectations. Sales in the US – a key market – fell 20% as a result and the impact on profits was even greater. But the stock wasn’t priced for this kind of decline, which is why it fell. Overall revenues actually climbed, but this was due to the timing of a coring expedition from one of the firm’s subsidiaries. That however, won’t be repeated in 2026. The big challenge that investors are – rightly – focusing on is the weak demand in the US. But I think there are reasons for optimism heading into the new year. The first and most obvious thing to note is that the stock currently trades at some much lower valuation multiples. The forward P/E ratio’s now a much less demanding 15. That means there probably isn’t the same scope for multiple compression going forward. But the case for Judges Scientific shares in 2026 isn’t just about a lower valuation. Universities in the US should be about to get some clarity over their budgets in the near future. Congress is due to decide on the proposed cuts at the end of January. Even if the cuts pass, greater clarity could help a lot. Labs that have been dealing with uncertainty about budgets should be able to start making spending decisions again. It will take a while for the effects of this to show up in Judges Scientific’s earnings. And there’s a risk that the consolidation of institutes could delay things further. This potential restructuring is a Department of Government Efficiency Initiative and a final decision isn’t due until July. But some positive signs could be on the way in January. Judges Scientific has been dealing with some major spending cuts weighing on demand. But there are positive signs that greater clarity could bring a recovery in 2026. Investors probably won’t have long to wait. But even if the news in January isn’t positive, I think the firm’s competitive position means it’s only a matter of time. In the context of my own portfolio, I’m prepared to be patient. I already own the stock, but the lower valuation means I’m considering adding to my investment.

Can the rampant Barclays share price beat Lloyds in 2026?
The Barclays (LSE: BARC) share price had a rip-roaring 2025, climbing 77% over the year. But it was pipped at the post by Lloyds Banking Group (LSE: LLOY), which surged 79%. Can their eye-popping run continue into the New Year? All the big FTSE 100 banks have benefitted from higher interest rates, which boosted their net interest margins, the gap between what they pay savers and charge borrowers. However, with the Bank of England and US Federal Reserve cutting interest rates again in December, and more reductions anticipated in 2026, margins may now come under pressure. I expect a tougher year ahead for both Barclays and Lloyds. But which looks the better bet for the year ahead? Barclays has travelled further and faster than Lloyds over two years. Its shares are up a jaw-dropping 205% over that timescale, almost double Lloyds’ 104% rise. It helped that Barclays dodged the motor finance scandal that hit Lloyds via its Black Horse division. But I wonder if Barclays will find it harder to keep up that blistering pace. The stocks are no longer the giveaways they were in 2023, when I bought Lloyds. At the time, both traded on a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of six or seven. Today, Barclays has a P/E of 13, while Lloyds is higher at 15.4. Neither looks excessively expensive, but neither screams bargain either. On a price-to-book basis, Barclays again looks better value, at around 0.85, compared with Lloyds nearer 1.25. Valuations suggest Barclays may have slightly more scope for further gains, although that’s not an iron certainty. One key measure analysts watch closely is return on tangible equity (RoTE). Lloyds is forecast to generate a RoTE comfortably above 15% across 2026, boosted by its focused UK retail banking model and structural hedge that supports interest income as rates move. Barclays has a slightly lower expected RoTE at just under 13%. That’s still solid, and supported by a more diversified business that includes US investment banking. That broader mix can add volatility, but offers potential for a higher price if markets do well. So what do the experts say? For Barclays, consensus analysts produce a one-year share price target of just under 474p. That’s fractionally below where the shares trade today. For Lloyds, the target sits around 101p, roughly 2.6% higher. In both cases, it’s clear that growth expectations have dramatically cooled after such a strong run. Income seekers should note that Barclays offers the lower yield, forecast at about 1.94%. However, management prefers share buybacks as its main way of returning cash, and is expected to be generous. Lloyds is forecast to yield around 3.7%, which suits me, as I prefer to see big fat dividends landing directly in my account. It’s a personal thing. Overall in 2026 ,Lloyds may just sneak it on higher income and steadier returns, but Barclays’ valuation and diversified model mean it could still surprise. Either way, one thing is certain. Long-term patience will matter more than short-term fireworks. With that in mind, both banks are well worth considering today.

Here’s how Rolls-Royce shares could hit £25 in 2026
Rolls-Royce (LSE: RR.) shares have enjoyed three blockbuster years, rocketing up 220%, then 95%, and finally 100% in the three years from 2023 to 2025. Could a fourth be on the cards? If certain things fall into place, then another high double-digit year for the share price could take it to £25 or even beyond. Let’s look at what needs to happen for 2026 to be a monster. A key date to keep an eye on is 26 February. This is when Rolls-Royce is reporting its full-year results. Each of the previous three years has been supported by an excellent update or two where expectations were beaten and guidance upgraded. This should come as no surprise. These reports are when investors get their first look under the bonnet to see huge orders or increased earnings. It’s common to see huge swings in a share price when a company posts a terrific update (or the opposite!) What could help in this regard? The increased military spending is one area. Governments have been ploughing billions into more hardware since the first Russian tanks rolled into Ukraine, and this bumps up the top and bottom lines for contractors like Rolls-Royce. The company produces engines for fighter jets and reactors for naval submarines, to give two examples. This is also a risk for the stock too. I think we’re all happy about some of the recent conflicts drawing to a close recently. If the world grows ever more peaceful, then that will impact earnings and consequently the share price. Another thing to note about Rolls-Royce is its valuation. The stock trades at around 37 times forward earnings currently – a very high value! This tends to mean the longer-term prospects are good and earnings growth is expected to rise. A higher valuation is another way for a share price to rise even if earnings remain constant. That’s because investors are willing to pay more of a premium for a stock with growth on the horizon. In Rolls-Royce’s case, the SMRs project is worth paying attention to. These little nuclear power plants are based on the same tech the company has been using for decades to power Royal Naval submarines. The idea is to harness nuclear energy for home and business purposes without the cost and overrun of current nuclear projects. Another boost over the long term could be the company’s growing role in data centres like those used for AI. As power generation systems reach record highs on the back of artificial intelligence demand, Rolls-Royce made a big investment into one of its facilities in Minnesota this year. Overall? A £25 target is a lofty goal and higher than any analyst is predicting, but there’s plenty to like here. I’d call the stock one to consider.

Prediction: in 2026 the red-hot Rolls-Royce share price could turn £10,000 into…
I’m running out of superlatives to describe Rolls-Royce (LSE: RR) shares. The aircraft engine maker has smashed all-comers across the FTSE 100 over the past three years. The shares soared 96% in 2025. But the really big winners are those who bought shares in the aircraft engine maker three years ago as they’ve skyrocketed 1,130% since then. That would have turned a £10,000 investment into £123,000. Words like rampant, red-hot and jaw-dropping scarcely cover it. Investors who boarded early will be celebrating. Those who missed their flight will be kicking themselves. Both will be asking the same question as the new year dawns. Where does the share price go in 2026? Naturally, I don’t know. Nobody does. All investors are equal in one crucial respect. None of us has a crystal ball. We’re constantly warned that past performance is no guide to the future, but it does tell me one thing. Rolls-Royce shares simply can’t keep climbing at this speed. It’s now the UK’s sixth-largest company, with a market value of around £95bn. If it rose another 1,130% over the next three years it would be worth £1.2trn. That’s roughly a third of the entire UK annual economic output. Not going to happen. Even if the shares ‘merely’ doubled, to £190bn, that would still be extraordinary. It would put Rolls-Royce within touching distance of HSBC Holdings at £202bn, and AstraZeneca, the UK’s biggest company, at £213bn. The business does have plenty going for it. Aircraft engine manufacturing and maintenance revenues have surged with the post-pandemic recovery in flying. Its Power Systems division has been boosted by demand from AI data centres. Rising geopolitical tensions have lifted defence orders too. Then there’s the long-term promise of small modular reactors, the so-called mini-nukes. Chief executive Tufan Erginbilgic believes they could eventually double the size of the company, if they succeed as planned. That ‘if’ matters. These projects depend on government backing, disciplined execution, and the technology delivering as promised. There are also environmental and regulatory concerns as mini nukes are said to release more radioactive waste than conventional nuclear plants. The most obvious challenge today is the valuation. Rolls-Royce trades on a price-to-earnings ratio of around 56, far above the FTSE 100 average of roughly 17. Expectations are sky-high. Brokers remain upbeat, with consensus forecasts pointing to a share price of around 1,265p over the next year. If so, that’s an increase of roughly 10% from today, turning £10,000 into £11,000. Throw in the modest forward yield of 0.95%, and that increases to £11,095. Of course, analysts don’t have crystal balls either. But in my view, that sums up where Rolls-Royce shares now stand. They’ve done brilliantly, but from here the pace surely has to slow. Anyone hoping to make up for what they missed is fooling themselves. Future gains are likely to be steadier, while the risks look higher. Any disappointment when full-year 2025 results land on February 26 could be punished hard. Personally, I wouldn’t consider buying at today’s sky-high price. I’m seriously thinking about taking some profits off the table, but not selling out completely. Then I’ll look to reallocate that money into the next big growth opportunity. I can see plenty more exciting growth stocks on the FTSE 100 today.

Prediction: Tesco shares could soon climb another 17%
Tesco (LSE: TSCO) shares rose 19% in 2025, up 48% over the past five years. And based on December analyst updates, we could soon see further gains. What’s more, solid earnings rises dominate the forecasts for the next three years. And the Tesco share price valuation doesn’t look stretching to me. Citigroup is the most bullish recent forecaster, putting a 510p target on the Tesco share price. And that’s where the possibility of a 17% increase from the price at the time of writing comes from. But we have to temper it with Deutsche Bank‘s 500p target, though still a respectable 14% rise. And Jefferies sees very little change at 450p. For me, Tesco looks like it could keep paying progressive dividends for many years. The dividend doesn’t provide a high yield, with a forecast 3.25%. And the supermarket business is a low-margin one. So Tesco might not be quite the cash cow that some of the bigger yielders are. But keeping dividends growing over the long term often can help build up to better overall rewards than a headline high yield that’s less dependable. And forecasts suggest Tesco’s earnings should cover the anticipated dividends around two times. Tesco commands a 28% share of the UK groceries market — surely the most vital in the economy. And that boosts my confidence in the long-term outlook for investors. I’ve always liked the suggestion that when we want to invest, consider going for the best in a sector first. In my judgment, that’s Tesco. Saying that however, the valuation of Tesco shares and the dividend yield are very much average. We’re looking at a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 16 for 2026, dropping to 14 on 2027 forecasts. That’s pretty much bang on the FTSE 100 long-term average. And the index’s dividend yield’s currently a bit over 3% too, with a long-term average that wavers around 3.5%. Looking at the business itself, I like Tesco’s diversification in terms of product ranges and outlet types. At Tesco supermarkets we can shop for value products, alongside more upmarket Finest items. I buy both, with some of the value products being staples in my freezer. I also like Tesco’s smaller high-street and inner-city stores, which are convenient to pop in when I’m walking around town. My own experience and tastes colour my take on Tesco as an investment, with other investors seeing things differently. And the only reason I haven’t bought Tesco shares is because I focus mostly on a high-yield investment strategy (with a bit more risk). But I do think Tesco’s a top stock to consider, especially as a cornerstone for a new Stocks and Shares ISA in 2026. And despite the rise in Tesco shares, I still rate forecast valuations as reasonable. The post Prediction: Tesco shares could soon climb another 17% appeared first on The Motley Fool UK.

Prediction: the Vodafone share price could soar 40% in 2026
The Vodafone (LSE: VOD) share price has had a great 2025, up 42% at the time of writing. But we could see the same again in 2026, according to a December upgrade from Deutsche Bank that puts a 140p price target on the stock. A few days earlier, Barclays issued its own target of 120p. That’s less ambitious, but it would still mean a welcome 24% gain. And these are relatively short-term targets, which might even be raised as the year progresses. Before we go thinking the experts are so optimistic about Vodafone that we should immediately rush off and buy, let’s step back a bit and look around more widely. These two upbeat opinions were posted just a few weeks after JP Morgan issued a Sell recommendation, with a Vodafone share price target of just 71p. That’s a huge divergence, with the latest recommendation suggesting a price of almost twice someone else’s recent judgment. These are the experts who spend their time in research, with all the latest data and analysis at their fingertips. And they’re that widely apart! It reinforces a key Motley Fool priority that you’ll find near the bottom of this page. It’s the one where “we believe that considering a diverse range of insights makes us better investors“. Whether Vodafone shares rise or fall, at least one of these three top analysts will be wildly wrong on price. As long-term investors, we can do better to form our own opinions on the fundamental strength of a company. And prioritise that over short-term broker recommendations and price targets. On that basis, I see some solid reasons to consider Vodafone, even after its strong year. The main one is the dividend, forecast to yield 4% this year. In November the company said it expects to lift it 2.5% this year. That’s after saying “we are now expecting to deliver at the upper end of our guidance range for both profit and cash flow, and as our anticipated multi-year growth trajectory is now under way“. It does come after Vodafone slashed its dividend in half in 2025. But that was long overdue, as the company had been stubbornly paying out more than it could afford for years. I rate the new progressive dividend policy as significantly more reliable than before, as the cash appears to be there. We’ve already seen €3bn in buybacks since May 2024, with a further €1bn yet to be completed. My biggest fear is around Vodafone’s debt, which rose to €25.9bn at the halfway stage — almost equivalent to Vodafone’s market-cap. There’s a headline forecast price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 15 for 2026, dropping to 12 by 2027. But debt-adjusted values come in at around twice those figures. High debt plus those higher implied valuations put me off buying. But if Vodafone can service its debt efficiently enough and keep returning cash — which I think it can — I still see it as a worthwhile consideration for long-term dividend investors.

A newly discovered exoplanet is rewriting the rules of what planets can be. Orbiting a city-sized neutron star, this Jupiter-mass world has a bizarre carbon-rich atmosphere filled with soot clouds and possibly diamonds at its core. Its extreme gravity stretches it into a lemon shape, and it completes a full orbit in under eight hours. Scientists are stunned — no known theory explains how such a planet could exist.

5 remarkable engineering innovations of 2025
But Alex Lau, CEO of InventWood, the company that licensed Hu’s discovery, says that once the company scales up, he aims to sell Superwood at half the price of steel. But for now, he will win hearts and minds in the construction industry by first targeting the wood-friendly markets for decking and roof materials, before moving in on structural elements and Superwood-optimized buildings. And then there are the environmental benefits. Superwood can be made out of many different kinds of tree—you can even make the stuff out of the roughly 10 to 20 percent of forestry products that are discarded as the wrong species, or the 40 percent of sawmill wood deemed non-premium that would otherwise be chipped or burnt. Lau says he can displace half of US steel demand, or 50 millions tons, with just 12.5 million tons of Superwood. That sounds like a lot, but he points out we send that much waste wood to the landfill each year—and there are 14 million tons of excess capacity wood in Southern lumber mills. A Finnish company called Polar Night Energy is tackling the intermittency problem by upcycling crushed soapstone, a byproduct from a local fireplace factory, to create the largest sand battery in the world. Instead of storing electricity, this thermal battery stores heat in a roughly 43-by-49-foot insulated steel cylinder. The system takes excess electricity from the grid to heat up the sand. Then, pipes built into the battery direct cold air in, allow heat to transfer from the sand, and then send hot air out, at temperatures between 140 and 752 degrees F. The hot air can then be used to make steam for industrial processes, or to warm up buildings or water. Unlike conventional batteries that become less efficient over time, the sand does not degrade, and the battery has an expected useful life of 30 years. And unlike lithium-ion batteries (or oil refineries), the sand will never catch on fire. Google logged a major milestone in the road to an actually practical quantum computer with a new approach to quantum-error correction. With a new machine called Willow, Google has created a 105-qubit machine with the unprecedented ability to reduce errors even as the number of qubits in operation increases. Because qubits are inherently error-prone, traditionally, the more qubits in a chip, the greater the likelihood of a glitch. By placing qubits assigned to store data in a grid with error-correcting qubits, the Google research team was able to actually make the number of errors go down even as the number of qubits increased. That means that the 7-by-7 array had better error correction than the 3-by-3—an unprecedented achievement. Google reports that Willow completed a benchmark number test in five minutes that would have taken a conventional “classical” supercomputer 10 septillion years—that’s older than the age of the universe. And that points to the power of unleashing quantum effects on problems. The post 5 remarkable engineering innovations of 2025 appeared first on Popular Science.

The Renee & Chaim Gross Foundation in New York, New York
Chaim Gross (1902-1991) was a renowned sculptor who emigrated to the United States in 1921. Gross and his wife Renee, who married in 1932, lived for three decades in the Washington Heights section of Manhattan. In 1963, the couple purchased the four-story townhouse and studio space that now houses the foundation bearing their names. Prior to moving to New York City, Gross led a peripatetic life. He was born in what was then the Kingdom of Hungary, in a part of Central Europe where national boundaries changed multiple times in the 20th-century. Gross was born to a Jewish family and during this period, this part of Europe also experienced severe antisemitism, both official (i.e.: bans against certain occupations) and personal. Gross studied art in Budapest and Vienna prior to emigrating and then at several art schools in New York. Around the time that he began exhibiting in group shows, Gross transitioned from student to instructor. He would go on to teach printmaking and sculpture for 50 years at various New York institutions and as part of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), for which he also produced several early commissions. Gross was the author of the influential instructional guide, The Techniques of Wood Sculpture (1957). The Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden owns 27 works by Gross and other pieces are held by the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum, and other public and private collections. A large-scale bronze, The Family (1979), is installed in Bleecker Playground, a 0.7-mile walk from the sculptor’s studio, both in Greenwich Village. The Renee & Chaim Gross Foundation was established in 1974, incorporated 15 years later as a not-for-profit, and opened its doors to the public in 2009. The foundation is the steward for over 12,000 objects that include sculptures, drawings, and prints by the artist; a photographic archive; and a large personal collection of African, Oceanic, Pre-Columbian, American, and European art that remains installed as Gross and his wife had it displayed during his lifetime. The foundation is a member of the Historic Artists’ Homes and Studios, a program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The LaGuarda Place property provides an opportunity to appreciate the work of one of America’s preeminent direct carvers and the studio where he created much of his art, as well as the home he shared with his wife and the extensive collection of artwork they admired, presented as the couple lived with it in the second half of the 20th-century.

Route 66 Neon Park in St. Robert, Missouri
Located in George M. Reed Roadside Park along Route 66, this array of vintage neon signs illuminates highway history. Once left to decay in piles of junk, the signs were lovingly restored to their mid-century modern charm and donated to the City of Saint Robert, where they are now displayed with story boards that detail their past locations and uses. From colorful hotel beacons to classic garage signs and the iconic Route 66 shield, the Neon Park is a treasure trove of roadside Americana. One sign, for the motel Stanley Cour Tel, has an especially unique claim to fame. Built in 1950 by Stanley and Olivia Williams, this St. Louis stopover gained notoriety for housing astronauts training for Project Mercury—the first U.S. manned space mission. The Neon Park is the first of its kind to be developed along the “Mother Road,” which stretches nearly 2,500 miles from Chicago, IL to Santa Monica, CA. All of the signs that now brighten the park originally sat along the Route between 1926 and 1985 and were obtained in working partnership with the Route 66 Association of Missouri and other donors. As Missouri’s longest continuously open park along Route 66, George M. Reed Park has a rich history of its own, making it the perfect place for these signs to get a second life. The original concrete picnic tables from when the park opened in 1952 are still in place today, while an M-60 tank remains inside the park to showcase the Route’s role as a thoroughfare for transporting war material during WWII.

“Streaming stops feeling infinite”: What subscribers can expect in 2026
We’re far from streaming’s original promise: instant access to beloved and undiscovered titles without the burden of ads, bundled services, or price gouging that have long been associated with cable. Still, every year we get more dependent on streaming for entertainment. Despite streaming services’ flaws, many of us are bound to keep subscribing to at least one service next year. Here’s what we can expect in 2026 and beyond. There’s virtually no hope of streaming subscription prices plateauing in 2026. Streaming companies continue to face challenges as content production and licensing costs rise, and it's often easier to get current customers to pay slightly more than to acquire new subscribers. Meanwhile, many streaming companies are still struggling with profitability and revenue after spending years focusing on winning subscribers with content. Read full article Comments

Film Technica: Our top picks for the best films of 2025
Editor’s note: Warning: Although we’ve done our best to avoid spoiling anything too major, please note this list does include a few specific references that some might consider spoiler-y. It's been a strange year for movies. Most of the big, splashy tentpole projects proved disappointing, while several more modest films either produced or acquired by streaming platforms—and only briefly released in theaters—wound up making our year-end list. This pattern was not intentional. But streaming platforms have been increasingly moving into the film space with small to medium-sized budgets—i.e., the kind of fare that used to be commonplace but has struggled to compete over the last two decades as blockbusters and elaborate superhero franchises dominated the box office. Add in lingering superhero fatigue—only one superhero saga made our final list this year—plus Netflix's controversial bid to acquire Warner Bros., and we just might be approaching a sea change in how movies are made and distributed, and by whom. How this all plays out in the coming year is anybody's guess. Read full article Comments
