UK Stocks and Share tips

Top of the Tips: Share Recommendations 26/1/2007

Buy

Metalrax

This Midlands engineering company boasts a broad income base and unlike many in its sector has continued to grow and profit over recent years.

Metalrax's economic fundamentals are pretty sound – market capitalisation of £80m, debts of just £9m and a hefty 7.7 per cent dividend yield. Metalrax's recent year-end update confirmed that the company will meet the final dividend for this year, and also highlighted the ongoing recovery of its largest division, engineering support services.

Metalrax is also looking at ways to maximise value from its freehold properties and its houseware division, showing promise for the future. Although at around 14 time forecast earnings it is not cheap, Metalrax's solid yield still makes it an attractive purchase.

Augean

Hazardous waste processor Augean are at the top of their game in the UK, and benefit from holding a strong position in a market with a high barrier to entry. Last year, Augean made an impressive profit of £3.4m on sales of just £26m, and this trend looks likely to continue this year.

Augean also look in a healthy position for a takeover, and further growth in the company's share price seems inevitable.

Buy, says The Independent.

Sell

DSG International

The owners of Dixons, Currys and PC World are not enjoying the post-Christmas feel good factor experienced by some retailers – DSG's Currys chain have only managed 1 per cent growth in sales over last Christmas, and their Italian UniEuro chain experienced a 7 per cent drop in sales.

Although DSG have recently been buoyed by strong sales of flat screen televisions, this sector is coming under pressure from falling margins, as LCD TV prices are continually falling. Indeed, the anticipated fall of 17 per cent in flat screen TV prices in 2007 means that Currys will have to sell 20 per cent more just to maintain current margins.

Although there are a few signs of hope, 2007 looks like it will be a demanding time for DSG, and at more than 14 times earnings, DSG might have a little further to fall yet.

Sell, says The Times.
