Share tips 2025: top picks of the week

Four to buy

1. Vertu Motors (LSE: VTU)
Investors’ Chronicle
Car dealership firm Vertu Motors’s half-year revenue increased thanks to the acquisition of Burrows Motor Company, which added nine dealerships and expanded Vertu’s Toyota, Mazda and Kia networks. Although Britain’s new car market remains weak and a cyberattack disrupted operations, Vertu’s after-sales business is doing well, and sales of electric vehicles are growing, supported by new government grants. The stock still seems “good value”. 61p

2. BP (LSE: BP)
The Telegraph
Energy giant BP is a risky investment owing to its reliance on oil and gas prices, which can lead to volatile profits amid economic uncertainty. Half-year profits fell 32% and dividend cover declined, while payout growth may be limited in future. But the group has cut costs by $1.7 billion since 2023 and renewed its focus on oil and gas, and further likely economy-boosting interest-rate cuts bode well. The stock yields an impressive 5.8%. 430p

3. Trustpilot (LSE: TRST)
Shares
Trustpilot allows consumers to post reviews for goods and services online. The platform hosts 330 million reviews, and it generated $230 million in annual recurring revenue in 2024. Research shows that most consumers in Britain and the US find advertisements more trustworthy with Trustpilot’s logo. Although there is competition from Yelp, Trustpilot is the market leader, and it has been investing for future growth. First-half cash flow and earnings beat expectations, and it won big clients, such as Barclays. The stock isn’t cheap, but Trustpilot has strong cash generation and further returns are likely. 216p

4. G&H (LSE: GHH)
This is Money
G&H makes imaging systems for submarines and tanks; components for tattoo-removal equipment; portable ultrasound systems; and subsea telecom cables. G&H will benefit from higher government military spending, as aerospace and defence make up 35% of sales. G&H looks “cheap” compared with peers following two profit warnings last year. But half-year figures met expectations, order books were strong, and margin growth looks sustainable. 590p

One to sell

1. Litigation Capital Management (LSE LIT)
Investors’ Chronicle
Litigation Capital Management (LCM), an Australian litigation-financing firm, has faced its “worst year in its history”, with nine case losses, three under appeal, and only six wins. The company incurred a pre-tax loss of A$102 million (£50.3 million) owing to high operating expenses and substantial writedowns, despite generating A$22.2 million (£10.9 million) from investments. Net debt rose strongly, affecting its funding position. LCM’s lender offered a debt-covenant waiver, but raised the interest rate. Although the board is focusing on debt reduction and creating value for shareholders, risks have increased. 9.82p

The rest...

1. Avation (LSE: AVAP)
Investors’ Chronicle
Avation has a fleet of 33 aircraft for leasing. It has extended a lease with easyJet until March 2029 and added Etihad Airways as a customer. It plans to use the proceeds from aircraft disposals to invest in narrow-body aeroplanes and reduce debt. Avation has lowered net borrowings with improved operating cash flow; analysts expect an 18% increase in pre-tax profit next year. The firm has ordered ten new aircraft. The stock has been moving sideways, but the group’s earnings momentum means it is “primed to take off”. Buy (162p).

2. Geiger Counter (LSE GCL)
This is Money
Geiger Counter is for investors wanting to “ride the nuclear wave”. The fund owns stock in about 40 firms involved in producing uranium, with top investments including Canada’s Cameco. It also invests in US and Namibian producers and companies involved in building nuclear reactors. Uranium prices have fluctuated, but are set to rise and lift Geiger’s stock. As nations aim to cut their dependence on Russian gas, demand is outstripping supply, as it takes years for new mines to come on stream. Geiger’s shares trade at a discount to its net asset value, but this is set to reverse. Buy (62p).
