Share tips 2025: top picks of the week

Four to buy

1. Everplay (LSE: EVPL)
Investors’ Chronicle
Videogame developer Everplay’s half-year revenue fell owing to the timing of licence revenue and new game releases. But in the second half, there should be more releases than last year, including a new LegoBluey education game, which already has more than 800,000 pre-orders. With no impairments this year, the cash profit margin has improved, and Everplay expects full-year adjusted cash profit to beat expectations. The stock is on a small discount to peers and offers a 5% free cash flow yield. 412p

2. RWS (LSE: RWS)
This is Money
RWS helps companies such as Coca-Cola and the London Stock Exchange translate patents, documents, websites, and manuals into multiple languages. Although profits are likely to fall this year, long-term shareholders have benefited from consistent dividend growth for over a decade. New CEO Ben Faes, who has taken steps to streamline the business and deliver growth, recently bought a million shares for £679,000. 96p

3. Murray International (LSE: MYI)
Shares
Investment trust Murray International reported strong half-year results, achieving a 6% net asset value (NAV) total return and an 11.6% share-price return. Murray has raised its dividend for 20 consecutive years. Its portfolio includes around 50 companies focused on cash-generating firms with strong management. The trust has pivoted away from US Big Tech but remains invested in technology, and top holdings include Philip Morris, Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing, and Grupo. It has a year’s worth of income reserves to hedge against any headwinds. 295p

4. Morgan Advanced Materials (LSE: MGAM)
The Telegraph
Morgan Advanced Materials has reported lower half-year revenue and profits amid an uncertain global economic backdrop. However, the carbon and ceramic materials manufacturer’s prospects are bright thanks to expected further interest-rate cuts in major economies, which bolster global cyclicals. Morgan’s “strong” financial position means it can weather any challenges; it is making progress in simplifying operations; and given that it manufactures products locally, it faces a limited impact from US tariffs. 206p

One to sell

1. Boohoo (LSE: DEBS)
Investors’ Chronicle
Boohoo, now trading as Debenhams, posted lower revenue and a wider loss in its latest financial year. Promotional costs weighed on the gross margin, and the value of inventory fell. The clothing retailer has cut costs and is transitioning to a more capital-light marketplace, or platform, model, which facilitates transactions and generates earnings through commissions. Yet, it’s “premature” to say this model will deliver positive earnings over the medium term. The shares have declined 47% over the past 12 months, trending well below the short-term moving average, suggesting continued weakness. “We are yet to be convinced.” 14p

The rest...

1. South32 (LSE: S32)
Investor's Chronicle
South32’s annual adjusted profit increased thanks to higher commodity prices and improved sales volumes, although this was offset by lower sales after the sale of the Illawarra metallurgical coal business and damage from a cyclone in Australia. The miner is focusing on copper, aluminium and other commodities tied to the energy transition, and is aiming to streamline operations and invest in high-return projects such as a US zinc-lead-silver venture. Although the shares have struggled, a rally in metals markets could lead to a rerating, “but patience may be required”. Buy (130p).

2. Personal Group (LSE: PGH)
The Telegraph
Personal Group’s (PG) shares are well below their 2015 and 2018 peaks, but there “could yet be some value to be had”. The health insurance and workplace benefits company’s stock is not as cheap as peer Just Group’s; however, PG may appeal to income seekers thanks to its 5% dividend yield. The valuation may get a boost if the company meets its 2030 sales and profit targets, helped by winning new customers, high customer retention, and the development of recurring revenue streams. PG’s partnership with Sage should boost demand from small businesses. Buy (387p).

3. Chesnara (LSE: CSN)
This is Money
Life assurance and pensions group Chesnara operates in Britain, Sweden and the Netherlands. Some of its divisions are closed to new customers but generate plenty of cash, while others are keen to attract clients to deliver growth. Chesnara recently bought HSBC Life, an “open” business focused on life assurance and investment bonds, for £260 million, which should boost dividends. Chesnara has an “attractive” 8% yield. A “longterm buy” (271p).
