UK Stocks and Shares and Investment tips
Top
of the Tips: Share Recommendations at 6 June 2008
Ones
to Buy
Stobart
Group
The
legendary road haulier has transformed itself into a multi-modal,
modern logistics business in recent years. Its innovative
'pay as you use' pricing model also seems popular with customers
and turnover has risen by 90% over the last four years.
Buy a few and see what they can do, says the Mail on Sunday.
EBTM
EBTM
- or Everything But The Music - is a fashion company that
sells clothes branded or styled to appeal to music fans.
The company splits its sales between high street chains
and direct online sales and benefits from selling to a fairly
resilient sector of the market - 14-26 year olds. With forecast
profits of £1m on sales of £7m this year, it's
"worth a punt", according to the Mail on Sunday.
Man
Fund
manager Man is revelling in its well-capitalised status
at present and has just launched a share-buyback programme.
Shares in the firm have risen steadily this year and at
13 times earnings, still look attractive. Buy, says The
Telegraph.
GB
GB provide
an electronic identification service that major banks and
companies such as O2 use to check the facts that customers
give them when they set up new accounts. Given the ongoing
problems surround identity and online fraud, they could
do well in the next few years. Buy, says The Independent.
Qinetiq
The
private-sector spin-off from the former Defence Research
Agency is currently trading at a discount of between 8%
and 13% to its UK peers. This seems too much - buy, says
The Telegraph.
Ones
to Avoid
Topps
Tiles
Despite
being one of the most successful companies in its sector,
Topps Tiles looks likely to suffer in the housing downturn.
Sell, says The Independent.
