Share tips 2025: top picks of the week

Four to buy

1. Cranswick (LSE: CWK)
The Telegraph
The pork and poultry producer is on track to meet full-year guidance and is expected to generate annualised earnings growth of 7% over the next two fiscal years. The company’s solid financial position and competitive advantage show that it is a “high-quality” business worthy of a “premium” valuation. Cranswick is a “favourable long-term investment opportunity”. 5,240p

2. TwentyFour Income Fund (LSE: TFIF)
This is Money
This fund focuses on bonds with high interest rates, which it passes on to shareholders via dividends. Its recent full-year dividend grew 11%, and the yield is almost 10%. TwentyFour focuses on Europe, where interest rates are high but the chances of default are low. Current investments include a package of British household mortgages and a batch of loans to business customers at Lloyds. With a “reassuring” record and “enticing” dividends, “adventurous investors” should buy the trust. 112p

3. Anpario (LSE: ANP)
Shares
The recent dip in Anpario’s share price amid geopolitical uncertainties, despite strong half-year sales, is a “buying opportunity”. The company, whose additives support animal health, hygiene and nutrition, can navigate any headwinds thanks to its diversity by geography and species, growing market share and investment in innovation. A recent US acquisition should temper the impact of US tariffs, and Anpario is benefiting from food producers transitioning from toxic to natural feed and from global population growth. The solid 3% dividend yield should increase. 407p

4. Serco (LSE: SRP)
Investors’ Chronicle
A US acquisition has shifted outsourcer Serco further into defence and towards the US. A strong performance in North America lifted first-half organic revenue and underlying operating profit, beating guidance. Net debt has risen, but it remains manageable thanks to a high cash conversion rate and healthy free cash flow, which supported an 8% dividend hike and a £50 million buyback. The stock is on a “steep discount” to defence-focused peers. 224p

One to sell

Ferrexpo (LSE: FXPO)
Investor's Chronicle
Ukrainian iron-ore pellet producer Ferrexpo has managed to keep itself going since Russia invaded the country in 2022. However, due to a dispute with Ukraine’s tax authorities, VAT refunds for Ferrexpo’s subsidiaries, worth $31.1 million for the first four months of 2025, have been denied. The sum of VAT refunds could rise to $38.3 million if May and June payments are also withheld. Ferrexpo has halted one of its pelletiser lines, and production has declined. Executive chair Lucio Genovese says Ferrexpo’s contributions to the economy are now at risk. Ferrexpo could run out of money and be nationalised unless the VAT issue is resolved. 55p

The rest...

1. Tritax Big Box (LSE: BBOX)
Investor's Chronicle
Tritax Big Box is betting on data centres for future growth, having doubled its expenditure on them this year. The real-estate investment trust expects data-centre development to yield between 9% and 11%, beating its yield on logistics development. CEO Colin Godfrey wants governmental support to accelerate projects through the planning system, given their status as critical national infrastructure. Meanwhile, the logistics business is outperforming the market, with vacancies low. Analysts predict annual earnings growth of 7% until 2027. Buy (138p).

2. SGS (SWX: SGS SA)
The Telegraph
Swiss testing, inspection and certification company SGS is twice the size of its British rival Intertek. Last year, sales and free cash flow increased, lowering debt, while a recent big US takeover should boost sales. SGS is focusing on sustainability, the digital economy, nearshore supply chains, and global health and safety, which should lead to more regulation. SGS should also benefit from more AI and autonomous driving standards. Its shares trade at 22 times expected earnings, with a forecast 3.8% dividend yield. Buy (SFr 82, 7,500p).

3. AVI Global Trust (LSE: AGT)
Shares
AVI Global Trust is an excellent way to gain exposure to undiscovered quality assets trading significantly below their intrinsic value. The investment trust trades at a 7.5% discount to its net asset value (NAV), while its underlying portfolio is on an average discount of 40%. AVI has little exposure to US assets. It is focusing largely on undervalued Japanese assets and opportunities in Korea, where corporate governance is steadily improving. Buy (261p).
