Top
of the Tips: Share Recommendations at 5/1/11
Ones
to Buy
African
Barrick Gold
The current record gold price may not last forever but African
Barrick Gold remains a promising buy, thanks to good long-term
growth prospects. Buy, says The Independent.
BT
Group
BT seems
to be doing well these days – the pension deficit
is down, debt is falling and dividend yield shows signs
of improving. Buy, says the Daily Telegraph.
Phoenix
IT Group
Phoenix
IT Group specialises in providing outsourced data hosting
– capitalising on the current trend for 'cloud computing'.
Revenue and pre-tax profits are up this year and debt is
down – despite the company's public sector clients
suffering from cuts. Buy, says The Independent.
Royal
Dutch Shell
Shell
shares remain an excellent buy for income, with a prospective
yield of 5.5%. The markets are expecting oil prices to rise
again next year – should this happen, it will provide
further fuel for Shell's share price. Buy, says the Daily
Telegraph.
Bloomsbury
Publishing
Best
known as the company that publishes the Harry Potter books,
Bloomsbury has used the cash generated by the runaway success
of Harry Potter to invest in new business areas. Although
pre-tax profits were down in the first half of this year,
sales were up and profits should follow next year, according
to the Sunday Telegraph, which rates Bloomsbury as a buy.
Ones to Avoid
TalkTalk
The
UK broadband market is tough and increasingly saturated
– problems which leave TalkTalk looking relatively
unattractive at present – sell, advises Investors
Chronicle.
Schroders
Its
time to take profits if you own shares in asset management
company Schroders, according to The Independent. With its
share price at a 10-year high, things seem unlikely to improve
further for a while – time to get out.
