Thursday's tips round-up: Hunting, Astra, Barclays
Thu 01 July 2010 06:51
Hunting's broad global spread should insulate it against turbulence related to the crisis in the Gulf. And despite a multiple of 26 times 2010 forecasts, the shares are off 33 per cent since their March peak. The market is arguably over-emphasising Huntin -

Thu 24 June 2010 07:05
Theo Fennell is on 16.2 times Seymour Pierce's forecast earnings for 2011. That falls - yes, falls - to 11.3 times on the numbers for the year after. These metrics leave Theo Fennell undervalued compared with similar luxury goods makers, so buy, says the -
