Share tips 2025: top picks of the week

Four to buy

1. Target Healthcare Reit (LSE: THRL)
Investors’ Chronicle
Target Healthcare Reit has a portfolio worth £900 million comprised mostly of care homes, which gives the real-estate investment trust sufficient scale, but also leaves it vulnerable to private capital. Target has the capacity to buy more assets after refinancing its debt facilities and selling nine care homes for £90 million, a 12% premium to carrying value. Full-year like-for-like rental growth increased 3.3%. Target trades on a 15% discount to net assets, but given its long-term earnings visibility, “healthy” dividend yield, and flexible balance sheet, this could be a “viable entry point”. 95p

2. The Beauty Tech Group (LSE: TBTG)
This is Money
The Beauty Tech Group sells LED face masks that can be used at home, app-connected spot treatments, and laser hair-removal devices. Its first-half sales increased 27%, with underlying earnings of £22.9 million. Competition from beauty giant L’Oréal is a headwind, but it has been growing faster than the rest of the sector, particularly in Britain, the US and Germany. The company was the “first business of its kind to float in London”, which should bring in more customers. 270p

3. Shawbrook (LSE: SHAW)
This is Money
Shawbrook was Britain’s largest initial public offering (IPO) of the year so far, valued at £1.9 billion. The specialist bank lends to small and medium-sized businesses. It recently acquired specialist lender ThinCats and plans to grow its loan book from £17 billion to £30 billion by 2030. Shawbrook makes “plenty of cash” and is to return some of this to shareholders. Shawbrook has weathered storms such as Brexit and Covid without growth slowing. 393p

One to sell

Savannah Energy (LSE: SAVE)
Investor's Chronicle
Savannah Energy recently published its 2024 results, showing a $102 million pre-tax profit, in order to restart trading in its shares after they were suspended. Auditor BDO has not approved the oil and gas group’s accounts owing to insufficient evidence related to financial controls in Savannah’s Nigerian operations. The oil and gas company plans to bolster internal controls and appoint a new auditor. Savannah has $272 million of debt, and although it is pursuing a $1.3 billion arbitration award for the nationalisation of assets in Chad and Cameroon, “getting paid after these awards can be tricky. Avoid.” 7.02p

The rest...

1. Whitbread (LSE: WTB)
Investors’ Chronicle
Hotel and restaurant operator Whitbread reported lower half-year revenue and profit due to flat sales at the Premier Inn chain in the UK and a fall in food and drink sales. While the German arm showed promise, guidance was cut. Whitbread raised its cost-savings goal because of higher wages and utility bills, but it plans to return £2 billion to shareholders by 2030. The firm’s valuation is reasonable and cost controls are judicious, but its sale-and-leaseback plans, which could raise lease costs, and subdued profitability guidance, are “circumspect”. Hold (2,877p).

2. B&M European Value Retail (LSE: BME)
This is Money
B&M European Value Retail’s shares have slipped after a profit warning. If the new CEO Tjeerd Jegen can make his turnaround plan work, investors could “bag a bargain”. In the next 12-18 months, he plans to cut the number of items offered, lower prices and give managers more discretion so that discounts match local needs. In the meantime, the 6.5% dividend yield is “paying you to wait”. Buy (179p).
