Heron Foods was first established in 1978 after operating as a local butcher in Hull under the name ‘Grindells Butchers.’

After Anthony Grindell sold the business to his sister and her family, the name was changed and the chain started to grow.

The company now runs 343 locations across the UK, however it will suffer a huge blow.

It has now been announced that the Scunthorpe store is set to close its doors for the final time.

In the Heron Foods Scunthorpe Facebook group, one of the admins wrote to the chain’s loyal customer base to announce the news.

The post read: “Dear Valued Customers, we want to thank you for your continued support and loyalty to our Heron Foods store in Scunthorpe.

“It’s been a pleasure serving the local community, and we’re incredibly grateful for the relationships we’ve built over the years.

“We’re writing to let you know that our Scunthorpe store, located at Jubilee Way in the Parishes Shopping Centre, will be closing down.

“This decision was not made lightly, and we understand it may come as disappointing news to many of you.”

It was also revealed that the shop will close its doors for the final time before the weekend has even finished.

The post continued: “Our final day of trading will be the 27th September, and until then, we’ll continue to offer great value and service.

“We encourage you to visit us before we close to take advantage of our remaining stock and special offers.”

The account added: “While this location is closing, we remain committed to serving our customers across the UK. You can continue to shop with us at nearby Heron Foods stores.

“Thank you again for being part of our journey in Scunthorpe. We’ll miss you!”

Customers flooded the comments section of the post to express their immense disappointment at the decision.

One user wrote: “Shame you always have good bargains, going to miss you.”

A second stated: “Shame it’s shutting down always go in there every week.”

“Not good for the town yet again another good shop to close,” claimed a third concerned resident.

While this location is closing, we remain committed to serving our customers across the UK.

While a fourth commented: “It’s an absolute shame for the wonderfully helpful staff.”

And a fifth added: “Feel sorry for all the people that use the shop in the town that get their good bargains etc.”

However, the chain is launching a new site in Byker, Newcastle which is set to open its doors to customers on October 16th.

The company is also investing in a refurbishment in its Fulwell shop in Sunderland that is due to reopen at the start of October.

In August 2017, B&M purchased the chain in a reported £152million acquisition.

Is your portfolio in need of a new growth name? Perhaps a stock that hasn’t raced to a nosebleed valuation thanks to the advent of artificial intelligence? They’re out there. You just have to dig a little deeper to find them, pushing through all the noise being created by the market’s most popular names right now.

One of these hidden gems is a young company called Upstart Holdings (UPST -0.27%). Here’s what it does and why you should consider it now.

What’s Upstart?

You may already be familiar with Upstart, but if you’ve only recently stumbled across this name, here’s the deal. In simplest terms, Upstart is a new kind of credit bureau.

In their infancy, established credit bureaus like Equifax, TransUnion, and Experian did their job well enough with the tools available at the time. All three of them were launched before the advent of the internet, while two of them were created before the invention of anything that might even be considered something akin to a modern-day computer. Verifying an individual’s income and manually keeping track of any late or missed payments back then was actually a pretty impressive achievement.

Data storage and information-sharing technology have obviously changed for the better in the meantime. The traditional credit bureaus’ approach to determining credit scores, however, hasn’t. All of them still assign quantified scores to criteria like someone’s payment history, current indebtedness, income, and how old that consumer‘s credit history is.

But there’s now a better way. Using an artificial intelligence algorithm that considers more than 1,600 data points about each and every individual, Upstart can do what traditional credit bureaus simply can’t. That’s come up with a hyper-accurate picture of someone’s actual creditworthiness. And it can do so in a matter of seconds, delivering that information to a potential lender via the internet at any time of day.

Honestly, it’s surprising someone didn’t do it before former Google executive and current CEO Dave Girouard launched the company back in 2012 with fellow former Google executive Anna Counselman and statistical science expert Paul Gu.

Whatever the case, shareholders have been well-rewarded since the company’s initial public offering back in December of 2020. The stock’s up more than 240% from its IPO price of $20, and more than 50% above its first trade on a public exchange.

This is still just the beginning, though. There’s still a ton of upside potential left to tap.

Three reasons to buy Upstart stock

There are several compelling reasons to dive into a stake in Upstart here. But three stand out and are bullish enough in and of themselves.

1. The technology works

It’s not just a meaningless solution to a problem that doesn’t exist. The algorithm works. Upstart’s platform allows for 43% more loan approvals than conventional credit bureaus do. And, one-third of the loans it prompts are made at a lower interest rate than would have been offered through a more traditional approval approach. It’s a win for consumers as well as lenders, not to mention the middlemen that benefit when a would-be borrower qualifies to make a purchase.

2. And lenders are increasingly embracing it

A technology that works is one thing. A technology that the marketplace believes in enough to use is another. In this vein, adoption of Upstart’s technology got the expected slow start. As of the time of its 2020 public offering, only a handful of lenders were using its platform, facilitating $4.1 billion worth of loans in 2021, translating into revenue of $305 million for the company itself.

Last year, though, Upstart’s solution led over 100 lenders to approve nearly $6 billion in loans, translating into revenue of $637 million. The company expects to report a top line of more than $1 billion this year, en route to analysts’ expectation of $1.34 billion revenue next year and 2027 sales of $1.6 billion. Of that $1.6 billion, $216 million of it should be turned into net profit versus this year’s likely near-breakeven.

3. You can step in at a discounted price

Given the fiscal trajectory here, one would expect Upstart stock to be soaring. And it’s certainly had its bullish moments. But none of those moments have been seen for very long since late last year.

While the company’s shares recovered with the rest of the market following February’s and March’s meltdown, they have not followed through like other stocks have. Rather, they’ve peeled back a bit from July’s high, and are now trading where they were in November. The market is still pretty worried about the economic impact of lingering inflation — a concern Girouard expressed during August’s second-quarter earnings call.

Investors, however, are arguably pricing in too much of this concern. Analysts seem to think so, anyway. The analyst community still supports a consensus target of $78.79 despite the stock’s recent pullback, which is 15% above Upstart shares’ present price. That’s not a bad tailwind to start out a new trade with.

Just don’t lose perspective on what you’re buying into

A promising prospect? Sure. But not one without its risks. Even if its earnings are poised to grow and dramatically widen profit margin rates over the course of the coming couple of years, its net earnings rates are still rather thin. It wouldn’t take much turbulence to do plenty of relative damage to these fragile bullish expectations.

There’s also no real moat to keep would-be competitors from entering the market with a similar credit-scoring technology, including the familiar credit bureaus themselves. Neither is a reason for volatility-tolerant and risk-tolerant investors to avoid Upstart shares, though.

As to the latter, while there’s no significant tangible moat, the lending industry’s disinterest in embracing change effectively serves as one. Upstart has time to continue becoming the dominant name in the AI-powered lending business. With its tech already refined and available, there would be little need for lenders to consider an alternative that isn’t likely to perform any better.

And as to the former, although the young business is still somewhat unpredictable from one quarter or even one year to the next, look five years down the road. Upstart’s platform is superior to alternative credit-scoring tech. Sheer practicality will drive long-term growth here, even if the stock doesn’t reflect this growth with straight-line forward progress.

Uber Technologies (UBER 4.26%) has been hitting its stride. And the market is taking notice, as investors view the business in an extremely favorable light. As of Sept. 17, shares are up 54% in 2025 and 191% in the past three years. That’s an incredible rise that has driven its market capitalization to nearly $200 billion.

It’s important not to simply assume that the gains will continue. Investors should think about the factors that can support further upside. In this instance, it’s easy to be optimistic. Here are four reasons to buy Uber stock like there’s no tomorrow.

1. Growth

The first reason to add Uber to your portfolio focuses on the company’s growth, which has been spectacular. In the latest quarter (Q2 2025, ended June 30), Uber had 180 million monthly active platform consumers (MAPCs), up from 76 million exactly seven years ago. Unsurprisingly, this has led to soaring gross bookings and revenue in both the mobility and delivery segments.

Uber is currently available in 15,000 cities across the globe. However, there is still expansionary potential. Getting consumers to use multiple services, known as cross-promotion, is a big opportunity, as is boosting usage frequency.

There’s also the Uber One subscription program, which counts 36 million members. They spend significantly more than non-members. Increasing the share of MAPCs that become Uber One members can drive substantial growth.

2. Profitability

In 2019, Uber posted a whopping operating loss of $8.6 billion. Since then, management’s intense focus on running the business in a more efficient manner has worked wonders. In the last six months, the company reported operating income of $2.7 billion. This impressive profitability is the second reason to buy the stock.

Uber is proving that it can scale up in an extremely lucrative manner. Wall Street is bullish. Consensus analyst estimates call for earnings per share to increase at a compound annual rate of 23% between 2025 and 2027, much faster than projected revenue gains.

Free cash flow is also pouring in, totaling $2.5 billion in the second quarter. This is giving the leadership team confidence. They just announced a $20 billion share buyback authorization.

3. Autonomous vehicles

There are a lot of companies out there working on autonomous vehicle (AV) technology. While Uber previously had an AV unit, it sold this segment in 2020. Instead, the business is partnering with others, whether car makers or software providers, in an effort to help develop this technology. There are currently 20 partners.

Uber is in an advantageous position because it directly controls the relationship with 180 million MAPCs. Therefore, it has access to a large pool of demand. And it has expertise in operating a huge tech platform. This gives it a capital-light way to play in the AV market.

This doesn’t mean that Uber’s strategy is completely fail-safe. For instance, there is a risk that Tesla could be successful in its efforts to scale up its robotaxi service. This would create a competing platform to Uber.

4. Economic moat

Buying and holding companies that possess an economic moat, or durable competitive advantages, can contribute to investing success. Uber has this important characteristic, which is the fourth reason to add the business to your portfolio.

As a platform, the company benefits from a powerful network effect. More riders (drivers) add more value to drivers (riders), making the service more useful as it gets bigger.

Uber also has noteworthy intangible assets that support its ongoing success. Its brand is so strong that its often used interchangeably as a verb, indicating robust user mindshare. And the company’s ability to collect and utilize its data is also worth pointing out. This has spawned a new business line with digital advertising, a segment that raked in $1.5 billion in annualized revenue in Q1 earlier this year.

Uber’s growth trajectory, rising profits, position in the AV market, and economic moat are four reasons to buy the stock like there’s no tomorrow.

MORE changes are coming to Sky TV tomorrow, set to affect four favourite channels for millions of viewers.

The premium TV giant is known to regularly switch-up their channels to keep things fresh for customers.

This often involves common favourites vanishing or taking on new names.

There have already been eight changes that were made to Sky TV at the beginning of this month.

And four more are expected to be introduced tomorrow which customers should be aware of.

From Monday, September 8, Back to School (Satellite 306/850 – Sky Glass/Stream 306) is reverting back to the name Sky Family/Sky Family HD after a temporary change.

Sky 90s (Satellite 302 – Sky Glass/Stream 302) is being renamed to Sky 00s/Sky 00s HD for a bit.

Sky Monsters (Satellite 311 – Sky Glass/Stream 311) is also reverting its name back to Sky ScFi/Horror/Sky ScFi/HorHD following a temporary change.

Finally, Sky Hits (Satellite 303 – Sky Glass/Stream 303) is changing its name to Sky Gems/Sky Gems HD temporarily.

There is also another change due to come at the end of the week.

On Friday, September 12, Sky Cinema Action (Satellite 307/851 – Satellite 307) will turn into SkySpider-Man/Spider-Man HD for a short period.

It comes after several rebrands to Sky’s kids channels occurred at the start of the month.

This included Nick Jr. Paw Patrol and Nick Spongebob being replaced by Nick Jr. Peppa and Nicktoons.

Overhauls also came to Sky Cinema channels, such as Sky Lord of the Rings being reverted back to Sky Action.

Several channels turned into Christmas themed to prepare for the festive season.

And Sky Sports Action disappeared to make way for Sky Sport NFL.
