UK Stocks and Shares and Investment tips
Top
of the Tips: Share Recommendations to 9/1/09
Ones
to Buy
WS
Atkins
The
giant engineering company is a major player in the infrastructure
project market - things like power stations, roads and railways.
It has weathered plenty of economic storms before and its
expertise and diverse customer base means that it should
do so again. Atkins recently revealed a 20% rise in operating
profits for the first half of this year. Buy, says the Daily
Mail.
Park
Group
Christmas
savings company Park Group has no debt, a healthy cash balance
and a rising share price. Buy, says The Independent.
Anite
Directors
of software group Anite recently announced a £20m
share buyback. As they well know, the company's shares look
cheap at present and should be a reasonable speculative
buy, with group profits up on last year. Buy, says The Independent.
G4S
Security
group G4S has enjoyed underlying growth of 10.3% in the
first nine months of this year. Analysts agree and the company's
share price is on the up. There should still be more to
come, reckons the Mail on Sunday - buy.
Compass
Caterer
Compass is continuing to deliver organic growth and currently
trades at a discount to its main competitor. The company
has strong management and plenty of cash, too. Buy, says
the Sunday Telegraph.
Ones
to Avoid
Game
The
video game retailer may be one of the leaders in its field
and a well-run company, but it will inevitably catch a cold
as the rest of the economy gets flu. Sell, says The Independent.
Victrex
Chemicals
group Victrex are expecting a downturn in business, despite
strong trading at present. It does not expect to meet sales
targets for September 2009 and brokers have cut their earnings
forecasts accordingly. Sell, says The Independent.
