Three stocks to buy

1. Coca-Cola HBC (LSE:CCH)
Investors’ Chronicle
Coca-Cola HBC reported strong 2025 results, with net profits reaching €940 million, a 14.6% increase from the previous year. The bottling partner of the Coca-Cola Company sold about three million cases, representing a 2.8% rise in demand for non-alcoholic drinks. The energy-drink segment, particularly the Monster brands, saw significant growth. HBC expects annual expansion in operating profits of 7% to 10% over the medium term. This is a “quality stock” with a strengthening emerging- market focus. 4,704p

2. Okta (NASDAQ:OKTA)
Barron’s
Okta, which focuses on identity security, ensuring that the right users gain access to the software they need, is well positioned for growth as more businesses use AI agents, which need to be authenticated too. Okta has consistent profitability, reporting third-quarter revenue of $742 million, a 12% increase from last year, and generating growing free cash flow. Okta upgraded its fiscal 2026 projections. Given its “sticky” customer base, “solid” fundamentals, and the “indispensable nature” of identity security, investors should own Okta for the long term. $87

3. Stellantis (NYSE:STLA)
Barron’s
The Citroën and Peugeot carmaker has been hit by a one-off charge for electric-vehicle write-downs; warned that second-half operating profit will miss guidance; scrapped the 2026 dividend; and sold debt to boost its balance sheet. But new CEO Antonio Filosa is investing in the US and new vehicles, which could boost earnings and free cash flow in 2027. North America, Stellantis’s main market, is largely insulated from Chinese competition. €6.60

4. MJ Gleeson (LSE:GLE)
Investors’ Chronicle
MJ Gleeson’s share price has “trundled along” since plunging in mid-2025 after the group said fiscal 2025 operating profits would be 15%-20% below expectations. Interim figures revealed rising revenues but falling profits, with average selling prices not keeping pace with inflation. Still, the builder of affordable homes has a forward order book of 978 plots, and its Gleeson Land arm reported revenue of £4.5 million, up from £1.3 million last year, while open-market reservation rates also grew. MJ’s shares trade on an enterprise/cash profit multiple of eight times, below peers’ average. 334p

5. S&P Global (NYSE:SPGI)
Barron’s
S&P Global, the group behind the S&P 500 index, could add “growth and value” to investors’ portfolios. It generates more than 95% of its revenue from proprietary benchmarks and data, and is seeking to leverage AI. Lower interest rates, more debt issuance and more dealmaking are expected to boost its credit-ratings division. Its recent $1.8 billion acquisition of a provider of data for private-credit funds is another growth driver. The stock’s valuation is a “rich opportunity”. $409

One stock to sell

1. Dunelm (LSE:DNLM)
Investors’ Chronicle
Dunelm will struggle to meet its £214 million full-year pre-tax profit goal thanks to a competitive market, high operating costs, and weak sales during the crucial Christmas season. Although first-quarter sales rose, the second quarter was less successful as the homeware-retailer maintained pricing discipline amid heavy discounting from peers. Operating costs rose 9.2% thanks to wage increases and digital investments. The company needs stronger sales and second-half pre-tax profits to rise 14% to reach its annual guidance, which could be a “stretch” given weak demand among consumers. 968p
