As new bonds get issued at lower rates and cash rates decline, investors start to quickly look for ways they can rotate out of these asset classes and move somewhere else that pays income. Enter the income-generating monthly ETF, which often benefits twice in these kinds of environments as its yields stay competitive and the share price tends to rise as demand increases. In other words, investors win on both sides as they get a shareholder boost thanks to growth, all while receiving monthly "paychecks."

Many don't realise how quickly small bookkeeping gaps can turn into bigger financial problems, especially when deadlines and reporting rules come into play. VAT is one area where mistakes tend to build quietly in the background, often unnoticed until a bill, penalty, or cash flow issue appears. With costs rising and margins under more pressure, keeping your VAT records in good shape has never mattered more. Spotting the early signs of trouble can help you stay organised and avoid avoidable stress later.

Cash shortages can disrupt even well-managed companies, often at moments when stability matters most. A delayed client payment, a sudden drop in seasonal revenue or an unexpected opportunity requiring immediate capital can place pressure on operations long before traditional funding becomes available. For UK businesses trying to maintain continuity in challenging periods, strengthening cash flow management for small businesses becomes essential for avoiding disruption and preserving momentum.

There are a host of dividend stocks that people don't spend enough time talking about, and they don't get the same kind of hype as the bigger names.

If your firm is not collecting earned revenue, growth will slow, cash flow will tighten, and profitability will suffer. Fortunately, revenue and profit leakage can be minimized with awareness, the right tools (such as 8am Smart Spend), and disciplined financial oversight.

Revenue climbed 27% year-over-year to $3.45B, clearing the $3.36B consensus estimate by roughly $90M. That growth rate outpaced rival Uber's 18% quarterly expansion, signaling stronger order momentum in the core delivery business. The problem? Earnings per share came in at $0.55, missing the $0.68 estimate by 19%. GAAP net income of $244M also declined sequentially from $285M in Q2, a red flag that profitability may be plateauing after months of steady improvement.

American Superconductor (NASDAQ: AMSC) reported FY26 Q2 earnings after market close on Nov. 5, delivering a fifth consecutive quarter of profitability. Revenue reached $65.9M, up more than 20% year over year, though GAAP earnings per share declined slightly to $0.11 from $0.13 in the prior year period. The stock closed at $59.55 ahead of the report, reflecting investor confidence in the company's ongoing turnaround from years of losses, but shares of AMSC fell by as much as 20% in after hours trading.

T-Mobile ( NASDAQ: TMUS) delivered another headline-grabbing quarter today, beating Wall Street estimates and extending its streak of record postpaid growth. Yet despite the strong print, shares fell 4% as investors weighed the pace of broadband additions and the modest size of management's guidance raise. The carrier reported Q1 revenue of $20.89 billion, beating consensus by $270 million and growing 6.6% year-over-year. Earnings per share came in at $2.58, ahead of the $2.47 estimate. Net income surged 24.4% to $2.95 billion, while operating income climbed 20.1% to $4.80 billion, both expanding faster than revenue, signaling healthy leverage across the business.
