1 of the FTSE 100’s best bargains to consider for 2026!
The FTSE 100‘s enjoyed an electrifying year of gains, yet remains packed with brilliant bargains. Barratt Redrow (LSE:BTRW) is one that caught my eye this January. With low earnings multiples and price-to-book (P/B) ratios, and enormous dividend yields, I think it could be too cheap to miss. Wanna know why? Read on. Ho...

I’ve bought this 6.6%-yielding FTSE 250 share, hoping for a 2026 price recovery
Recently, I added FTSE 250 share Pets at Home (LSE: PETS) to my portfolio for the first time. At 6.6%, the dividend yield certainly attracted me. But my main hope is that the Pets at Home share price will grow, having declined by 51% over the past five years. In the stock market, what goes down does not necessarily hav...

On a P/E ratio of just 3, is this penny stock a deep bargain?
Say “penny stock” and the first thing that comes to mind for some investors may be a loss-making company with no revenue but rights to mine in some far-flung locale. In reality, penny stocks come in all shapes. Take Logistics Development Group (LSE: LDG) for example. It is solidly profitable. In fact, last year’s net...

A once-in-a-decade chance to buy these UK income shares cheap?
I rate Taylor Wimpey (LSE: TW.) as one of the FTSE 100‘s best long-term income shares. But the past 10 years have been shocking for the share price, sending it down more than 40%. It’s all been due to high interest rates and expensive mortgages putting pressure on the whole property sector, following the big pandemic h...

Tesla stock’s defied gravity before. Can it do it again?
Worries about sales volumes. Concerns about costs. Doubts about product launch timelines. A worsening competitive environment. Are those the factors weighing on Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) today? Or the ones that weighed on it five years ago, since when Tesla stock has gone up 62%? The answer is: both. Tesla has long attracte...

As Greggs’ share price dives, is this a once-in-a-decade opportunity?
Over the last year, Greggs‘ (LSE:GRG) share price has crumbled roughly 20%. It plummeted again last week (8 January) after it said full-year profits are unlikely to grow in 2026. At £16.57 per share, Greggs shares remain higher than November’s multi-year lows of £14.18. But from an historical perspective they still l...

Prediction: analysts see a 7% dividend yield from this brilliant passive income share
Primary Health Properties (LSE: PHP) has provided superb passive income through 28 consecutive years of dividend rises, and we’re looking at a 7% dividend yield forecast for 2026. And that should rise to 7.3% by 2027 to mark 31 years of increases, if current forecasts are accurate. What’s more, looking at earnings fore...
