UK Stocks and Shares and Investment tips
Top
of the Tips: Share Recommendations at 6/7/11
Ones
to Buy
Innovation
Group
Even
if no one is hurt in a car crash, the resulting insurance
claim can take a lot of time and stress to sort out. Innovation
Group is a claims management company and many insurers are
finding that outsourcing management of the repair and related
customer service is paying off. Midas in the Mail on Sunday
believes Innovation is on the way up again. Buy.
G4S
Security
company G4S is one of the world's largest employers (630,000
staff) and handles all sorts of security operations –
from cash deliveries to event security to prison management.
Profits are forecast to be up this year and there should
be further to go, according to the Daily Mail – buy.
Electrocomponents
Electrocomponents
is a company with a descriptive name – it makes and
sells electronic components. Revenues were up 21% over the
last year and pre-tax profits up 50%. The Sunday Telegraph
believes the share price will keep rising – buy.
QinetiQ
The
crazily-named privatised offshoot of DERA has done well
and has just announced impressive full-year figures, with
operating profit up 21%, above analyst expectations. The
company's restructuring plan appears to be paying off –
The Independent believes that the upside is not yet fully
realised – buy.
Ones
to Avoid
Barclays
A lacklustre
first quarter and a potential £1bn hit due to payment
protection misselling do not make for a very appetising
menu – but that's the current situation with Barclays.
Investors Chronicle believes the share price is vulnerable
– investors should sell.
Glencore
International
Glencore
went public with the largest IPO in history – its
shares are now available for full trading. Don't buy them,
however, as they look pretty fully priced at present, says
The Daily Telegraph. Avoid.
