Buy
Bank
of Ireland
Only
a couple of years ago, the Bank of Ireland was a fairly
complacent and lacklustre performer. In that time it has
transformed itself into a high-growth dynamo, boasting double-digit
growth rates. It currently looks cheap for the sector at
ten times earnings.
Buy,
says The Telegraph.
Vodaphone
Vodaphone
has always been one the largest mobile operators, and their
acquisitions of other European operators over the last few
years have consolidated this position. They now have a strong
technical and marketing platform with which to move forwards,
and need to use this to leverage new services and content.
Vodaphone
Chief Executive Arun Sarin's recent comments that if 3G
operator 3's European assets were to go up for sale, Vodaphone
might be interested, suggest that Vodaphone management are
feeling confident about the future too.
Buy,
says The Telegraph.
Hold
Robert
Wiseman
This
dairy company doesn't seem to have many prospects for growth
at the moment, and with their shares currently trading at
14.2 x forward earnings and a forecast yield for this year
of only 2.4%, they seem fully-priced at the moment.
Another
possible question mark is the outcome of the Office of Fair
Trading's investigation into milk prices.
Hold,
say The Times and The Independent.
Sell
Mothercare
Mothercare
is beginning to show some growth in sales, but this isn't
enough to offset its costs and it is sensibly embarking
on a cost-cutting programme, downsizing some of its stores.
While this should work in the medium term, there will inevitably
be some short-term pain. Now looks like a good time to take
profits, says The Independent.
