£5,000 invested in Lloyds shares in August 2020 is now worth…
One share in Lloyds Banking Group (LSE:LLOY) is now (20 August) worth nearly twice as much as it was in August 2020, when Covid-19 was wreaking havoc on the world. Someone clever enough to have invested £5,000 at the time would now be sitting on a stake worth £9,836. In addition, they would have picked up £1,285 in dividends. Overall, that's a 122% return. However, the bank's share price was relatively flat for much of this period. It's only started to climb significantly since the start of 2024. With nearly all of its earnings being derived from the UK, it's not surprising that Lloyds' fortunes are closely connected to the performance of the domestic economy, which has struggled for most of the past five years. Post-pandemic inflation and the cost-of-living crisis dented consumer sentiment. Investors also saw better opportunities outside the country. But once the Bank of England started to cut interest rates, price rises eased and the economy began growing again, the Lloyds share price benefitted from improved earnings and renewed investor optimism. Uncertain times Unfortunately, recent economic data presents a more confused picture. Growth during the second quarter of the year exceeded city expectations but inflation, unemployment and government borrowing are all moving in the wrong direction. This could be an indicator of trouble ahead for the bank. An economic downturn would increase the risk of loan defaults and damage the group's earnings. As of 30 June, Lloyds made a provision in its accounts for expected credit losses of £3.402bn. This is equivalent to 0.72% of its gross loan book. However, under a 'severe downside' scenario, this would be £5.807bn — £2.405bn more. If a provision of this level was made, it would reduce the bank's expected profit for 2025 by 55% and, I suspect, lead to a cut in its dividend. Scenario Expected credit losses (£bn) Weighting (%) Probability-weighted (actual provision) 3,402 – Upside 2,578 30 Base case 2,995 30 Downside 3,831 30 Severe downside 5,807 10 Not that bad But I don't think even the most pessimistic economist is expecting the assumptions used in this scenario to become reality. This model assumes GDP growth of 0.1% in 2025, a contraction of 3% in 2026 and a flat 2027. However, as expected of a reputable business, I think Lloyds has been prudent in coming up with its estimate of bad and doubtful loans. Its probability-weighted forecast includes 10% of the severe downside result. So while I believe the UK economy remains fragile, I think the bank has already reflected this in its calculations. It also appears to have dodged a bullet with the recent ruling by the Supreme Court. Previous estimates had suggested that the alleged mis-selling of car finance could cost the industry up to £44bn. It's now likely to be £9bn-£18bn. Through its Lex Autolease and Black Horse Motor Finance brands, it's believed that Lloyds has a 20% market share. However, I still don't want to invest. The recent share price rally means its historical price-to-earnings ratio is the highest of the FTSE 100's five banks. Its price-to-book ratio is beaten only by NatWest. And although its dividend yield is above the index average, it's still lower than that of HSBC and NatWest. Personally, I think there are better (that is, cheaper) opportunities for me elsewhere.

Elon Musk Halts Plans for US Political Shake-Up
Tesla (TSLA) CEO Elon Musk is reportedly pausing his plans to launch a third U.S. political party. According to The Wall Street Journal, Musk is shifting his focus back to his business ventures, putting the America Party idea on hold for now. TSLA stock dropped 1.75% on Tuesday and slid another 1.24% in after-hours trading. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. Earlier in July, Musk announced plans to form a new political party following a public clash with President Donald Trump over the tax cut and spending bill. Musk said the party would offer voters greater 'freedom.' Musk Pulls Back to Keep GOP Allies Close As Musk explored the idea of starting a political party, he was hesitant to upset influential Republicans by launching a third party that might draw away GOP (Grand Old Party) voters. Musk has also been careful to maintain his relationship with Vice President JD Vance, who is viewed as a possible successor to the MAGA (Make America Great Again) movement. According to sources, Musk has kept in contact with Vance in recent weeks, and launching a party could strain their relationship. Additionally, the report, citing sources, stated that Musk is also considering financially backing U.S. Vice President JD Vance if he runs for president in 2028. Previously, Musk spent nearly $300 million backing Trump and other Republicans in the 2024 election. Nonetheless, close sources added that Musk hasn't officially ruled out forming a new party and could reconsider as the midterm elections approach. Is Tesla a Buy, Sell, or Hold? While Musk's political ambitions draw headlines, investors remain focused on his core business, Tesla. Analysts are keeping a close eye on the company's performance, with stock forecasts reflecting both growth potential and market uncertainties. On Wall Street, analysts have maintained a neutral stance on Tesla stock. According to TipRanks, TSLA stock has received a Hold consensus rating, with 13 Buys, 15 Holds, and eight Sells assigned in the last three months. The average Tesla stock price target is $307.23, suggesting a potential downside of 7% from the current level.
