Share tips 2025: top picks of the week

Four to buy

1. DiscoverIE (LSE: DSCV)
Investors’ Chronicle
DiscoverIE manufactures electrical components for MRI scanners and surveillance drones. The firm has returned to organic growth and confirmed full-year profit expectations. Although a manufacturing footprint in the US has tempered the direct impact of tariffs, the levy has indirectly affected demand from customers. Sales have been supported by growth in Europe, worth 51% of revenue. The operating margin has improved and cash generation is “strong”. The valuation is “reasonable”. 586p

2. Weyerhaeuser (NYSE: WY)
Barron’s
This US company is the largest private owner of timberland in North America and operates 33 manufacturing plants for wood products. Weakness in the new-home construction and renovation markets has been a headwind, but there is “massive upside” if the backdrop improves. The real-estate investment trust’s high valuation is a “buying opportunity”: it’s based on depressed earnings that should recover. $23

3. Foresight Group (LSE: FSG)
Investors’ Chronicle
Foresight’s shares fell 9% after the investment manager cut short-term earnings estimates and said it expects the margin to remain steady for the rest of the fiscal year. The margin had narrowed amid £155 million of net outflows from the capital-management arm. Still, £223 million of gross inflows into higher-margin retail infrastructure and private-equity funds is “encouraging”, and full-year assets under management and core adjusted earnings increased. The stock has risen 11% in the past six months, and with long-term guidance maintained, Foresight holds “long-term appeal”. 412p

4. Roblox (LSE: RBLX)
Barron’s
Roblox provides a platform for users to create and play games for free; it is similar to YouTube. Meanwhile, its game Steal a Brainrot has been played over 42 billion times. Around 150 million young users use the platform daily. The group banked $444 million in free cash flow in the third quarter. Investors should view Roblox as a platform, not a traditional game maker, as it generates income from in-game purchases. US legal challenges over online safety are a headwind, but Roblox is investing in safety, while in-game advertising could boost revenue. $94

One to sell

IG Design (LSE: IGR)
Investors' Chronicle
Gift-wrap and greetings card group IG Design’s shares plummeted 70% after it sold its DG Americas division to Hilco for just $1 following bankruptcies among key customers. IG Design reported a $140 million loss on the sale and a $10.1 million trading loss. Revenue from continuing operations dropped 13% to $131 million owing to weak demand, competitive pressure, and US trade tariffs. Adjusted operating profit collapsed 90% in Britain and more than halved for the group. Net cash fell to $1.9 million. Despite a “decent” order book, with thin margin guidance and weak market conditions, IG Design isn’t “compelling”. 49p

The rest...

1. Cake Box (LSE: CBOX)
Investors’ Chronicle
Cake Box’s interim revenue increased, but pre-tax profit fell owing to higher costs following the £22 million purchase of Asian sweets business Ambala. Yet the firm reaffirmed its guidance for the year: Ambala’s second-half profits should gain from higher sales thanks to the Diwali and Eid festivals. Cake Box is set to hit its target of opening 25 new shops this year. The company’s franchisee model means it remains capital-light. Provided Cake Box remains committed to deleveraging, “we remain cautiously optimistic”. Buy (209p).

2. Casey’s General Stores (NYSE: CASY)
Barron’s
Casey’s General Stores is the third-largest convenience chain in the US. It focuses on rural areas thanks to its strong distribution network. The group is expanding its 3,000-branch footprint and gaining market share amid limited competition. A recent acquisition added 150 shops in Texas, one of the top-three US states for convenience stores. Analysts expect profits per share to jump 13% in 2026. Casey’s deserves its “premium” valuation: gross margins, free cash flow and earnings have all grown. Buy ($539).
