Top Stocks From Ftse 100

It's been a pretty good year for the FTSE 100 as most of the stocks are in green. The index is already up by 12.4% which is way higher than the historic average.

Amidst this bullish run, there are two stocks that have delivered next-level performance. These 2 stocks are Fresnillo (FRES) and Babcock (BAB).

Fresnillo (Fres)

The Fresnillo (FRES) is a clear winner and one of the best stocks from the FTSE 100. In just 9 months, the Fresnillo (FRES) stock price has gone up by 4x.

This means if you had put $1000 into this stock, it would be worth $4K by now! A key reason behind the great performance of Fresnillo (FRES) was the rising gold prices.

Since Fresnillo (FRES) is mainly involved in gold mining, it means the share price is directly tied to the Gold prices. So, whenever the gold prices rise due to geopolitics or whatever reason, Fresnillo (FRES) gets to benefit as well!

The P/E ratio of Fresnillo (FRES) is 50, while its forward P/E is just 24. This also tells us that the earnings of Fresnillo (FRES) will increase as Gold gets more expensive.

However, a decline in the gold prices could also mean the Fresnillo (FRES) share prices will drop really hard.

Babcock (Bab)

The second stock in our list, Babcock (BAB), has gained 153% upside since the start of 2025. This means anyone who invested $1000 in Babcock (BAB) stock would now have $2,530.

The Babcock (BAB) is a defense firm and thus benefits when other stocks like BAE Systems or Rolls-Royce trend higher. So, whenever there is a conflict in the world, the defense firms like Babcock (BAB) get to benefit the most.

The Babcock (BAB) is also famous for making UAS, which has now taken center stage in modern-day conflicts. So, that's also something which will benefit the Babcock (BAB) stock as more orders will come for UAVs.
