UK Stocks and Shares and Investment tips
Top
of the Tips: Share Recommendations at 7 March 2008
Ones
to Buy
Low
& Bonar
Specialist
flooring and textiles manufacturer Low & Bonar has a
diverse set of customers, strong management and excellent
growth prospects. Yet its shares are languishing at two-thirds
of their 150p peak last summer. Buy, says the Mail on Sunday.
Whitbread
Whitbread's
mixture of leisure sector offerings all score well in the
affordability stakes - as do their shares. Buy, says The
Independent.
Thus
Telecoms
company Thus started out as a spin-off from Scottish Power.
Now an independent, listed company, it is making steady
progress offering 'convergence' solutions - internet, phone
and video down one cable - to business customers. Thus has
plenty of cash to keep it going and is on-target to make
its first profit very shortly. Unfairly undervalued, believes
Midas in the Mail on Sunday; Buy.
Inchcape
The
motor dealer chain's share price has suffered as result
of the UK market weakening. However, Inchcape is expanding
its foreign operations and should gain a layer of insulation
from any economic chills at home. With its shares currently
trading at 10 times 2008 earnings, you should buy, says
The Independent.
GKN
This
industrial stalwart is currently trading on just 9 times
earnings. Its past consistency and future potential means
that it should be worth more - buy, says The Telegraph.
Ones
to Avoid
Royal
Bank of Scotland
While
the news is not particularly bad, the market sector is extremely
volatile and RBS could suffer badly if another shock hits
the credit market. Hold on if you already own RBS shares
- but steer clear if you don't is the advice from The Telegraph.
HBOS
Don't
be attracted by the 8.3% yield and 5.6 times earnings multiple
- HBOS is swimming in turbulent waters and could still suffer
more, according to The Telegraph. Avoid.
