Share tips 2025: top picks of the week

Four to buy

1. Marks & Spencer (LSE: MKS)
The Telegraph
Marks & Spencer’s (M&S) share price has fallen 10% since the cyberattack in April, and the underperformance against peers provides an “opportunity to buy [a] high-quality business”. Although the breach is expected to hit operating profits by £300 million this year, insurance payments could reduce this figure, and the incident is likely to have been a one-off event. Earnings are expected to surge 29% next year. M&S’s solid fundamentals, upbeat long-term prospects and “relatively attractive” valuation all bode well. 371p

2. Workspace (LSE: WKP)
Investors' Chronicle
Workspace’s full-year occupancy levels declined as the provider of offices struggled to keep bigger clients. Yet the company aims to restore the number of lost occupants, arguing that it has a significant opportunity in London given its 12% market share and large potential customer base. Although the short term will be tough owing to softer demand, future revenue should be boosted by refurbishment projects to add space. Workspace has also cut expenses; the shares are on an “undemanding” valuation; and the focus on portfolio management and capital allocation should help matters when conditions start to improve. 405p

3. Haleon (LSE: HLN)
This is Money
Spun out of pharma giant GSK in 2022, consumer healthcare company Haleon, whose brands include Panadol and Nicorette nicotine gum, had a “bumpy” market debut, but the stock has gained ground thanks to strong sales, higher profits and steady dividend growth. CEO Brian McNamara aims to deliver £800 million of savings over the next five years and improve profit margins. Recent purchases of stock by several board members are “encouraging”. 398p

4. Hilton Food (LSE: HFG)
Shares
Hilton Food is a “high-quality global business with defensive attributes, robust cash generation” and long-term growth. The meat and fish packing company is growing market share globally and boasts positive trading momentum, yet the stock trades at a big discount to pre-Covid levels. This suggests scope for a rerating as long as it delivers profit improvements and new contracts bolster volumes and lead to earnings upgrades. 854p

One to sell

Wizz Air (LSE: WIZZ)
Investors’ Chronicle
Wizz Air’s shares fell by over a quarter after the budget carrier said that, despite record passenger numbers, annual profit declined more than 40% and costs increased because 44 aircraft were grounded due to problems with engines. Around 34 aircraft are still likely to be grounded by the end of the first half of the new fiscal year. Fitch Ratings recently downgraded its view of the firm’s debt, while Panmure Liberum says there’s “far better value in other airlines”. Wizz’s valuation is not high. However, its subdued earnings quality, elevated leverage and higher expected costs “[keep] us bearish… sell”. 1,133p

The rest...

1. Vp (LSE: VP)
Investors’ Chronicle
Vp, a specialist equipment rental company and service provider to the infrastructure, construction, housebuilding and energy markets, maintained its full-year return on average capital employed at 14.2% despite a “lumpy” construction market. Reported profits were boosted by a drop in impairment charges. Vp has bolstered its presence in the Republic of Ireland following the €12.1 million acquisition of Charleville Hire and Platform. With an expected dividend yield of 6.8%, an improving outlook for infrastructure projects and a stable balance sheet, “upgrade to buy” (616p).

2. Morgan Sindall (LSE: MGNS)
Shares
Morgan Sindall’s stock looks “fair value” after a 60% rally, and “it’s better to buy a wonderful company at a fair price than a fair company at a wonderful price”. The infrastructure and urban renewal group’s robust recent performance and high-quality order book should ensure it meets expectations this year, particularly thanks to the fit-out interior design division, which should beat its medium-term annual operating profit target. Morgan’s quality is underpinned by its 22% return on capital employed and 22% return on equity. Buy (3,750p).

3. Law Debenture (LSE: LWDB)
The Telegraph
Law Debenture’s unique dual structure, comprising an actively managed UK equity investment portfolio and an independent professional services business (focusing on pensions, corporate trusts, and corporate services), supports its consistent outperformance. The portfolio targets multi-cap firms with solid management and “reasonable” valuations. The reliable dividend policy also makes it attractive for investors seeking “stability, income and growth potential”. Buy (974p).
