Are you in the market for some dividend-paying stocks for your portfolio? If not, you might want to reconsider. It's true that growth stocks can seem more exciting, but they're often more volatile, too. And some can be significantly overvalued , just as likely to pull back for a breather as to keep advancing.

Are you in the market for some dividend-paying stocks for your portfolio? If not, you might want to reconsider. It's true that growth stocks can seem more exciting, but they're often more volatile, too. And some can be significantly overvalued , just as likely to pull back for a breather as to keep advancing. This is much less the case with dividend payers. After all, a company will typically grow to a point where it has fairly reliable income before management will commit to paying a regular dividend. After all, no company wants to have to reduce or eliminate a dividend when times get tough, as that's a big red flag for investors. Here, then, are three compelling dividend stocks to consider for your long-term portfolio. Continue reading

Russian presidential envoy Kirill Dmitriev, foreign policy aide Yuri Ushakov, U.S. President Donald Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner attend a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Kremlin in Moscow, Russia, Dec. 2, 2025. Kristina Kormilitsyna | Via Reuters A meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to take place on Thursday with "land deals" over Ukraine on the table, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff told CNBC. "[There's been] lots of progress in the last six to eight weeks," Witkoff said, noting that he and President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner would be meeting Ukrainian officials Wednesday evening before meeting top Russian officials. "And then we'll be seeing the Russians, Jared and I, sometime on Thursday evening," Witkoff told CNBC's Sara Eisen at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. He said Putin would be present at the meeting and that the Kremlin had requested the talks, with discussions over a U.S.-led 20-point peace plan making progress. "We're bringing everyone closer ...hopefully we'll have something good to announce soon," he said. "[It's based on] our 20-point peace plan, and we're massaging it and harmonizing it, and I think we're down to land deals now — that's been the 800 lb elephant in the room — and I think we have some very, very good ideas around that, and hopefully we'll be able to make some progress there," he said. Asked if he believed Putin would come to a deal to end the almost four-year war in Ukraine, Witkoff said: "I do." Multiple attempts to get Russia and Ukraine to agree on a ceasefire have failed, but pressure from the U.S. and Trump's impatience with the ongoing conflict — which has seen hundreds of thousands of soldier and civilian deaths — has helped to bring both sides to the negotiating table. Entrenched obstacles to a peace deal were Russia's demands that Ukraine hand over its eastern Donbas region, and Ukraine's demands for security guarantees from W...

The launch of Intel 's (NASDAQ: INTC) Panther Lake CPUs, the first chips to use the company's advanced Intel 18A process node, marks a key moment in Intel's battle to compete with TSMC . Not only has Intel erased much of the manufacturing lead TSMC has enjoyed for years, but it has also beaten TSMC to market with its implementation of backside power delivery. Image source: Intel. All modern chips put interconnects, which are tiny wires connecting various parts of the chip, and power connections in the same layers. In the past, this didn't matter. However, as chips become denser and more complex, these connections become chaotic and can interfere with one another, hindering performance and efficiency. Continue reading

Revivals of this history play usually reflect the politics of the moment. Now a fresh RSC retelling arrives in a world of instability and fractured alliances I have long argued that Shakespeare’s history plays have more urgent relevance today than his tragedies. The issues they raise – such as the nature of good governance and the difficulty of deposing a tyrant – are precisely those that still haunt us. Henry V, shortly to be given a new RSC production directed by Tamara Harvey , seems especially timely as we are living in a world where the threat of war is painfully real. It is also a play that constantly changes its meaning. James Shapiro wrote in the Guardian in 2008 : “There’s no better way to know which way the cultural and political winds are blowing than by going to see a performance of Henry V.” He reminded us that in 1599, when the play was first performed, playgoers anxiously waited to hear whether an Irish uprising had been suppressed.

They published a raunchy book inspired by the Guardian’s Owen Jones; broadcast interviews with obscure punk legends; and make calendars to navigate the world of underground art. Now they’re going global Stuart McKenzie turns towards a fan on a makeshift stage so his long brunette hair blows in the wind. The artist is dressed in a power suit with thick rimmed glasses, flamboyantly smoking a cigarette as he performs the confessional poetry he’s been writing since the 80s. “Stuart is this fantastic London staple who is just coming out of the woodwork now,” says Emily Pope, the director of Montez Press , who hosted the fundraiser where McKenzie performed to support their queer, feminist press and radio. McKenzie is a typical Montez Press collaborator: an experimental artist who doesn’t fit neatly into either art, literary or music spaces (although he did recently support the indie band Bar Italia). He’s later in his career than some of the emerging artists they collaborate with but he has Montez Press’s “desire to push boundaries and ask questions,” as Anna Clark, one of the organisation’s founding members, puts it.
