  • Friday tips round-up: Experian, Cookson, SuperGroup
    Fri 16 July 2010 06:48
    Experian is more than just a credit checker, having transformed itself into a global information company whose business extends to more than 90 countries, offering services such as fraud prevention and risk management. Growth will undoubtedly come from it

  • Thursday tips round-up: LSE, Burberry, Northern Foods
    Thu 15 July 2010 06:21
    The London Stock Exchange has had a rocky ride recently, so much so that after moving back into the FTSE 100 index of blue chips stocks, it was booted off again in the June index review.

  • Tuesday tips round-up: Thomas Cook, Rockhopper, Kier
    Tue 13 July 2010 06:52
    Travel group Thomas Cook announced yesterday the EUR30m purchase of Öger Travel, a family-run German firm that mainly sells package holidays to Turkey, a popular destination for Germans. Thomas Cook is already the second-largest travel group in Germany b

  • Sunday tips round-up: Ocado, Titan, Rockhopper
    Sun 11 July 2010 11:34
    Soon-to-float online grocery group Ocado is certainly in a growth market. The online food sector is expected to almost double over the next five years from £3.7bn to £7.2bn.

  • Friday tips round-up: Hays, Man, FirstGroup
    Fri 09 July 2010 06:55
    It was a better update from recruiter Hays than might have been expected given the continuing economic uncertainty here and in Europe.

  • Thursday tips round-up: Carillion, Xstrata, Big Yellow
    Thu 08 July 2010 06:17
    Carillion has been working to shed its traditional image as a construction company and accelerated the shift towards support services. The strategy appears to be paying dividends, at least according to yesterday's trading update. While economic uncertaint

  • Wednesday tips round-up: PartyGaming, Persimmon, Meggit
    Wed 07 July 2010 06:58
    Online gamer PartyGaming's protracted merger talks with Bwin, its Austrian rival, are apparently still on — just.

  • Tuesday tips round-up: Kesa, Serco, Lloyds Banking
    Tue 06 July 2010 06:39
    The City's bearishness on Kesa shares partly reflects concerns over the tough trading environment that Comet faces in the UK.

  • Sunday tips round-up: Travis Perkins, Avon Rubber, AgBank
    Sun 04 July 2010 12:46
    Builders' merchant Travis Perkins, owner of Wickes, gave some much-needed cheer to the stock market on Friday when it said it had performed ahead of expectations in the first half, with like-for-like sales up 3.4pc.

  • Friday tips round-up: BT, Forth Ports, Wellstream
    Fri 02 July 2010 06:50
    BT, the former state-owned telecoms monopoly, which has previously shown little aggression, attempted to nutmeg BSkyB by dramatically undercutting the price its rival charges consumers to watch Sky Sports.

  • 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

  • Wednesday tips round-up: Vedanta, Serco, Carpetright
    Wed 30 June 2010 06:47
    If there were a "nasty company of the year" award, the FTSE-100 listed mining group Vedanta Resources would not be short of nominations.

  • Tuesday tips round-up: Premier Oil, Connaught, UBM
    Tue 29 June 2010 06:48
    The Catcher oil field in the North Sea could be one of the best finds in the region in recent years, and comes just as UK production is declining.

  • Sunday tips round-up: Resolution, Halma, Berkeley
    Sun 27 June 2010 12:37
    It's fair to say that Resolution brings a little bit of glamour to an industry best known for grey-suited number crunchers. The insurance buy-out vehicle first emerged in 2008 and was set up to drive consolidation in the UK life industry.

  • Friday tips round-up: Petrofac, DS Smith, Micro Focus
    Fri 25 June 2010 06:55
    The big bet for Petrofac this year is on Turkmenistan. The oil and gas services company is already seen by the market as a safe haven while fallout from BP's disaster in the Gulf of Mexico buffets oil stocks.

  • Thursday's tips round-up: Theo Fennell, SVG, IPF
    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

  • Wednesday tips round-up: Halma, Chemring, Grainger
    Wed 23 June 2010 06:43
    Halma, which specialises in hazard detection and "life protection" technology, looks in rude health itself these days, although it did have to undergo some painful cuts to get here.

  • Tuesday tips round-up: Intercontinental Hotels, Domino Printing, GW Pharmaceuticals
    Tue 22 June 2010 06:47
    Intercontinental Hotels, which yesterday relaunched its 2,500th Holiday Inn hotel, has had what can only be described as an excellent run of late.

  • Sunday tips round-up: HSBC, Smith News, Ashtead
    Sun 20 June 2010 12:12
    For those seeking quarterly payments, one company worth buying is HSBC, says the Telegraph's Questor. The dividend yield is not spectacular at the moment - the yield is a touch under 4pc. However, the market expects a strong hike in payments over the next

  • Friday tips round-up: Ashtead, BP alternatives, Consort Medical
    Fri 18 June 2010 06:52
    Though plant hire group Ashtead raised its dividend by more than expected, the 2.9p-a-share payout is not covered by earnings.
