Leading EV stocks
Many global car manufacturers have started plans to shift production from petrol and diesel vehicles to fully electric models. Some companies, including
Tesla and
Nio, are dedicated EV manufacturers. The future is uncertain and the EV market leaders in the next decade could change. However, these two could have a first-mover advantage, in my opinion.
A company that I monitor regularly and that is one of my largest holdings is
Scottish Mortgage Investment Trust (LSE: SMT). This UK-listed fund managed by James Anderson and Tom Slater at Baillie Gifford holds both of these two EV stocks as its top five holdings.
These 2 UK shares would’ve doubled my money in 2020. Would I buy them now?

On average, 2020 was a disastrous year for investors. The
FTSE 100 index ended the year much weaker than it started. But for savvy investors in UK shares, it was also a year to hit gold.
More than one FTSE 100 share’s price doubled during the year from the levels hit during the stock market crash. Some of these shares look pretty attractive to me as an investor.

Should I buy Sage Group shares for my UK tech portfolio?
More on:
The
Sage Group(LSE: SGE) shares fell 20% in the past year. However, the company’s shares rose 5% on January 21
st after it released its first-quarter fiscal year 2021 trading update.
Sage Group shares’ recent trading update
Sage Group’s revenue grew by 1.4% year-on-year to £447m. It was primarily helped by the 4.7% growth in recurring revenue to £408m. Other revenue fell 24% to £39m. In my view, recurring revenue is one of the important metrics while evaluating a tech company, since recurring revenue is the portion of its revenues that is expected to continue in the future.

Hundreds of staff have left BP’s arm which hunts for new oil and gas around the world, according to reports, as the company pushes towards a more renewable and green future.

It comes around a year after Bernard Looney took the top job at the oil producer, which started off digging for oil in the Middle East more than 100 years ago.
