UK Stocks and Shares and Investment tips
Top
of the Tips: Share Recommendations at 2 11 2007
Ones
to Buy
Cranswick
Pork
specialists Cranswick supply supermarkets with high-quality
pork products - which consumers love. Sales are 22% up on
the six months to September 30th last year and earnings
have been growing at around 20% per year for the last five
years. All of which makes this year's fall in the company's
share price nonsensical - buy, says the Mail on Sunday.
Hirco
Indian
property developer Hirco listed on the AIM in December last
year. Since then, the company's share price has fallen from
500p to 350p. Despite this, its developments seem to be
well-funded and successful - so now could be a good time
to buy - The Times.
easyJet
Budget
airline easyJet this week snapped up a current BA franchise,
GB Airways. This small airline will add a number of attractive
routes to easyJet's portfolio, and once the franchise agreement
comes to an end next year, it should all be cream for easyJet.
Buy, says The Telegraph.
Davenham
Business
lender Davenham has just rejected a private equity bid out
of hand - without bothering to consult its shareholders.
This move perhaps reflects the confidence the company is
feeling as its strong progress in the asset-backed business
lending sector continues. The market value of the company's
shares doesn't currently seem to reflect their potential
- buy, says The Independent.
Telecity
Telecity
operates data centres - the secure, environmentally-controlled
buildings where internet companies keep their computers.
It's just launched a £96m IPO. Although it seems ambitious,
Telecity is expanding aggressively in a sector with a high
barrier to entry - a promising combination, believes The
Times.
Ones
to Avoid
Royal
Dutch Shell
A very
good run this year means that Shell's shares have gained
18% in the last six months alone. This puts their price/earnings
ratio slightly above competitor BP. It may be a good time
to take profits at Shell and consider investing in BP, according
to The Times.
Lonmin
South
African platinum miner Lonmin has enjoyed a good run in
recent years, with its share price more than tripling over
the last three years. However, it has been dogged by labour
problems and other operational issues this year, resulting
in a 19% fall in platinum production. Time to take profits,
suggests The Telegraph.
