UK Stocks and Shares and Investment tips
Top
of the Tips: Share Recommendations at 18 1 2008
Ones
to Buy
SIG
SIG,
otherwise known as Sheffield Insulation Group, are the largest
player in the UK insulation sector and are still very much
benefiting from tightened laws on building insulation introduced
in 2006. Shares are at nine times current year earnings,
but deserve more, according to The Times, who say buy.
Mears
This
little-known private contractor has around £1.4bn
of work lined up for Britain's council houses, according
to a recent trading update. With this in the pipeline, it
should be a good buy - The Independent.
Restaurant
Group
With
shares currently languishing at less than eight times current
year earnings, The Independent reckons that Restaurant Group
looks cheap. Although recovery may not be immediate, it
should be forthcoming eventually, reckons The Independent.
Rexam
Drink
can maker Rexam has just gained regulatory approval to acquire
Rostar, a Russian company that does much the same thing.
The deal should provide useful emerging market exposure
and result in positive results. The market seems to under
appreciate this at present - buy, suggests The Times.
Ones
to Avoid
William
Hill
It seems
that the traditional sector of William Hill's business -
betting shops - is doing better than its telephone and internet
arms. This means that profits for the year are likely to
be slightly below expectations. The Times thinks shares
are too dear at present - steer clear.
