UK Stocks and Shares and Investment tips
Top
of the Tips: Share Recommendations at 29 Aug 2008
Ones
to Buy
Rotork
Rotork
is a specialist engineering company with a secure foothold
in the power and water industries of a number of countries.
Results are expected to be good and show a substantial increase
over last year – as should the dividend. Buy, says
the Mail on Sunday.
Spectris
Spectris
produces specialist measuring equipment for a variety of
industries. It is upbeat about its current prospects and
next month’s interim results are expected to be good.
Trading below most brokers’ target price at present,
it is a good buy, according to the Telegraph.
Capital
Pub Company
The
Capital Pub Company is an upmarket chain of drinking establishments
aimed at well-heeled drinkers who don’t want food.
It serves a wide variety of beer and wine but does not serve
cooked food – going against the current trend. Despite
its share price halving from last year’s peak, it
should be able to withstand the prevailing economic climate
and offers good long term potential. The Mail on Sunday
says buy.
Johnson
Matthey
Johnson
Matthey’s recent weakness has left its share price
looking keenly-priced and attractive once more. Although
income prospects are low, longer-term growth promises to
be good, believes the Telegraph.
Ones
to Avoid
Myhome
International
Myhome
built their business around the idea of franchising time-consuming
home cleaning services such as oven cleaning. It’s
tanked horribly and the company’s share price fell
by 38% in one day this week as it announced talks to restructure
its debt. Steer well clear, says the Independent.
SThree
Specialist
recruiter SThree has seen its share price tumble by a frightening
70% recently. Although it is a well-established company,
59% of its profits come from the UK market and the Telegraph
believes that investors would be wise to stay away for the
time being, despite the apparent cheapness.
