Ones
to Buy
Carillion
Construction and outsourcing specialists Carillion currently
trades at a discount to its peers yet has an attractive
4% yield and a healthy level of new contract wins. Buy,
says The Daily Telegraph.
Amec
The Daily Telegraph is also keen on Amec, another construction
group that is focusing on high margin work – such
as the £140m contract it has just won with BG Group
to provide services for its central North Sea oil facilities.
Buy.
Greene
King
Greene King's food-related ambitions have been given a boost
by its recent acquisition of Cloverleaf Restaurants. Its
retail sales are up on last year and it expects margins
to be "slightly ahead of last year". The Independent
believes it is time to get a round in – buy.
3i
Infrastructure
3i Infrastructure invests in major infrastructure projects
around the world, aiming to deliver steady returns to its
investors. Current exposure includes Asia, India, continental
Europe and various utility and energy companies at home
and abroad. The Mail On Sunday recommends 3i for steady
growth and good income – buy.
RSA
Insurance giant RSA says that a £110m weather-related
increase in winter claims has scuppered its chances of meeting
its profit target. Despite this, it is still profitable
and is still planning to increase its dividend in line with
inflation. If you are an income seeker, buy, says The Daily
Telegraph.
Ones to Avoid
Aquarius
Platinum
Aquarius Platinum is the world's fourth largest producer
of the precious metal and on the face of it, things are
going well. However, tough times for the global car industry.
