Vertical Aerospace stock price (EVTL) slips as Valo New York push meets dilution worries

New York, Jan 25, 2026, 04:46 EST — Market closed Vertical Aerospace Ltd shares closed Friday 2.6% lower at $5.60, on volume of around 1.1 million shares. The stock has dropped close to 7% in the last five trading days. (StockAnalysis) The shift shines a spotlight on a well-known dilemma in early-stage electric aviation: balancing visibility with funding. Investors demand clear evidence from testing and certification, while tracking cash flow as carefully as the progress of the aircraft itself. Vertical has worked to broaden its audience while keeping its balance-sheet options flexible. That mix can attract attention, but it also

Legal & General share price flat at 258p — what traders watch before LGEN reopens

London, January 25, 2026, 09:02 GMT — The market has closed. Legal & General Group Plc (LGEN.L) shares closed Friday nearly flat at 258.2 pence, as the wider London market edged down and investors remained wary of insurers ahead of a week full of rate updates. (Hargreaves Lansdown) This matters as bond fluctuations are driving much of the action in European financials at the moment. Insurers hold hefty bond portfolios and offer long-term guarantees, so sudden yield shifts can quickly flip market sentiment. For Legal & General, sensitivity cuts both ways. Rising yields boost pricing on new annuity business, yet
