Share tips 2025: top picks of the week
Four to buy
1. Persimmon (LSE: PSN)
The Telegraph
The housebuilder’s long-term prospects are “upbeat” thanks to lower interest rates and higher wage growth. Demand is likely to keep outstripping supply, which implies higher volumes and selling prices. With a 4.5% dividend yield, the payout covered a “healthy” 1.5 times by earnings last year, a solid balance sheet and an attractive market valuation, Persimmon is a “highly worthwhile income-investing opportunity for the long term”. 1,333p
2. Coats (LSE: COA)
Shares
Coats aims to accelerate cash flow and shareholders’ returns after removing its pension liabilities and divesting non-core assets. The thread and structural-components maker is the market leader in 85% of its product portfolio and holds a 26% share of the apparel market, larger than all its competitors combined. Its scale, with over 100 manufacturing sites in 50 countries, gives it a competitive edge, and its healthy cash generation allows the company to invest in innovation. “The market is not giving Coats enough credit” for the quality of the existing business or its new growth ambitions. 80p
3. EasyJet (LSE: EZJ)
Investors’ Chronicle
EasyJet recently shared a positive update “in the face of potential macro-driven demand turbulence”. The budget airline is anticipating “another record summer” and expects to post its best-ever annual profits this year, thanks to higher bookings, passenger numbers, and revenue in the holiday unit. The company aims to earn £703 million in annual pre-tax profit and is targeting £1 billion profit in the medium term. The stock’s rating looks “cheap”. 570p
4. Next (LSE: NXT)
This is Money
Next’s annual profits have topped £1 billion for the first time. The clothing and homeware retailer’s earnings and share price have soared since CEO Simon Wolfson took the helm in 2001. Thanks to Next’s “tiptop record” and clear growth strategy, the shares are “not cheap”. Brokers forecast a 7% rise in annual profits to £1.08 billion this year. The stock may be due a breather, but for long-term investors, there “should be further gains”. 12,820p
One to sell
Urban Logistics Reit (LSE: SHED)
The Telegraph
Warehouse real-estate investment trust Urban Logistics Reit has agreed to be acquired by rival FTSE 100-listed LondonMetric in a £698.9 million deal. Subject to shareholders’ approval, LondonMetric will pay 0.5612 New LondonMetric shares in addition to 42.8p in cash for each Urban Logistics share. While the tie-up could be successful in the long run, creating a group with a market capitalisation of £4.4 billion, “there are currently better-value opportunities available elsewhere”. Urban Logistics has delivered a “hugely disappointing” 4% total return since August 2021. Sell. 154p
The rest...
1. Mulberry (LSE: MUL)
This is Money
Mulberry’s shares have tumbled since 2012 amid falling sales and rising losses and debts. But new CEO Andrea Baldo is keen to restore faith in the luxury bag-maker by cutting costs and focusing on products and pricing. He is targeting a 30% increase in sales to £200 million, solid profits, and a medium-term share-price recovery. Mike Ashley, who owns 37% of Mulberry, has criticised the previous management and tried to buy the firm last year, but Baldo is trying to build bridges and working with Mulberry’s largest shareholder, Challice. “Adventurous” investors may “fancy a punt” at 109p
2. C&C (LSE: CCR)
Investors’ Chronicle
Irish drinks group C&C has been plagued by difficulties, but has grown its operating margin and returned to profit on largely flat sales owing to fewer writedowns and a turnaround in the distribution arm. The owner of Tennent’s lager aims to generate €100 million of operating profit and €75 million of free cash flow by 2027 and will launch a new advertising campaign for Magners cider. The stock looks “reasonable” given its improving prospects. Buy (163p).
