UK Stocks and Shares and Investment tips
Top
of the Tips: Share Recommendations at 21 Mar 2008
Ones
to Buy
Xchanging
This
outsourcing specialist has grown from zero to FTSE 250 hero
in ten years and looks set to continue. It's operating in
a growth market and should benefit from companies' efforts
to cost cut or downsize in the event of a recession. Buy
now, recommends the Mail on Sunday.
Premier
Oil
Premier
seems to be able to combine production, exploration and
reserve replacement effectively and successfully. Somehow
the markets aren't giving it credit for these achievements
at present. The Times and The Independent both say buy.
Davenham
Davenham
lends money to businesses that have been turned down by
conventional banks. Its customers include property businesses
and it is for this reason perhaps that Davenham has been
hammered by the markets recently. Davenham believes that
bad debt won't be a problem and with a current P/E of 4
and a 9% yield, the Mail on Sunday believes you should buy
and hold.
Hochschild
Hochschild
is the world's fourth largest silver producer. This week
it confirmed its 2008 targets and confidence in the company
should grow accordingly. Buy and keep, say The Times and
The Independent.
Ones
to Avoid
Mecom
Media
company Mecom is planning to migrate from AIM to the main
stock exchange in April. Given the battering media stocks
have taken recently, Mecom could start to suffer accordingly
following this move. Steer clear, says The Telegraph.
UTV
Irish
television company UTV is suffering on multiple fronts at
present. Programming, contract negotiations and a debt mountain
are all causing rising stress - avoid, says The Times.
Yule
Catto
Chemical
group Yule Catto has been down recently and currently trades
at less than 9 times 2008 earnings with a 7% yield. However,
buyers should not be tempted into purchasing the stock -
a poor balance sheet and recent price bounce means that
the opportunity isn't really there. Avoid, says The Times.
