As the FTSE 100 hits an all-time high, is it too late to get in on the boom?

While there may be lots of doom and gloom surrounding the British economic outlook, that is not obvious from the performance of the FTSE 100 index of leading UK shares. This week, the FTSE 100 hit a new all-time high. Over the past five years, it has grown 49%. That is well below the 98% increase in the US S&P 500 index over that timeframe. But I think 49% growth in five years is creditable performance. On top of that, the FTSE 100 dividend yiel…London, England · London Read Article

The Vodafone (LSE: VOD) share price gained 3.4% Thursday (24 July), first-quarter earnings day, after a “good start to the year“. Vodafone shares have been gaining, up more than 35% since April’s 52-week low. But they’re still down nearly 65% over the past 10 years.

The Legal & General share price is rising. Will it soon be too late to bag big dividends?

The Legal & General (LSE: LGEN) share price has risen 12% so far in 2025. That sounds good, but it’s pretty much bang-on the FTSE 100 performance year-to-date. So if it’s undervalued relative to the wider market, maybe nobody’s caught on yet. A rise like that has lowered the forecast dividend yield. But it’s still up at 8.3%, with a few insurance stocks among the dividend leaders right now. Big dividends caution Before I consider jumping in to s…United Kingdom · United Kingdom Read Article
