UK Stocks and Shares and Investment tips
Top
of the Tips: Share Recommendations at 25 July 2008
Ones
to Buy
Halma
Halma
makes products that are used in large institutions and buildings
- such as hospitals and factories. Its product range is
nicely diverse and the company's dividend has increased
by at least 5% for the last 29 years. It's a resilient,
sound business reckons the Mail on Sunday - buy.
Scott
Wilson
Consulting
engineering firm Scott Wilson has just published a strong
set of results. Based on this, its current valuation looks
a little modest and its shares look appealing. Buy, advises
The Times.
Cosalt
Cosalt
is fast becoming a health and safety specialist to the offshore
oil and gas industry. It's expanding fast and is becoming
a major player in the industry. Buy, recommends The Telegraph.
Barclays
Banks
are having a tough time in the current market but Barclays
is currently offering a cash dividend yield of 11% - reason
enough to buy back in, reckons The Telegraph.
Bunzl
Bunzl
provides outsourced distribution services, primarily to
the food and healthcare sectors. It should be well-insulated
from the credit crunch and makes a sound defensive play,
says The Independent.
Ones
to Avoid
Moneysupermarket.com
A dot
com success story, comparison website Moneysupermarket.com's
shares are currently at 12 times forecast earnings. Although
cheap for its sector, the company could still be hit much
harder by the credit crunch and general economic slowdown.
Wait until prospects become clearer, recommends The Times.
DSG
International
Although
the high street electrical giant now has a recovery plan,
its troubles are well-established and it could be some time
before any good news appears. Steer clear a little longer,
says The Times.
