Five to buy

1. Rightmove (LSE: RMV)
The Telegraph
The property market is in the midst of a rebound, with easing inflation providing scope for interest rate cuts. Given the online property portal’s dominant market position, it is well placed to benefit from rising transaction volumes, while a double-digit forecast rise in earnings justifies its “lofty” market valuation. Rightmove has the financial means to overcome an uncertain near-term operating environment; on a long-term view, it offers “investment potential”. 681p

2. Hilton Foods (LSE: HFG)
Investors’ Chronicle
Although Hilton Food’s prices were lower, volumes grew and adjusted pre-tax profit rose in its latest financial year. The processor of meat, fish and other protein products for supermarkets is increasing investment to fund its launch in the Canadian and Gulf markets. An improvement in return on capital employed over the past year suggests Hilton now has a firmer grip on spending. “We... think a rerating is deserved.” 849p

3. International Public Partnerships (LSE: INPP)
This is Money
International Public Partnerships (IPP) invests in public and social infrastructure assets and businesses. The company plans to increase dividends around 2.5% annually, and the stock has an “attractive” 8% yield. IPP’s investments include Cadent Gas, which supplies gas to about half of Britain’s population; offshore wind-farm cabling systems; and a 20% stake in the Thames Tideway Tunnel, a “supersewer”. The slump in its shares is “overdone”. IPP has reduced debt, cut costs and sold assets, and infrastructure spending is high on the government’s agenda. 113p

4. ASML (AMS: ASML)
Shares
ASML is “the only company in the world capable of manufacturing” the extreme ultraviolet tools needed for making leading-edge semiconductor chips, giving it a unique place in the AI, cloud computing, and semiconductor industries. The Dutch group’s machines are used by TSMC, Samsung and Intel. Donald Trump’s tariffs will harm the chip industry in the short term, but it will benefit from huge investment in new US-based manufacturing in the years to come. ASML’s shares are down, but earnings are forecast to grow. It trades at a cheap valuation and will become “profitable” given time. €580

5. Applied Nutrition (LSE: APN)
Investors’ Chronicle
Applied Nutrition’s (AN) full-year sales beat guidance, but the sports nutrition and wellness company’s operating profit declined owing to higher whey-protein prices and shipping costs. Its shares have fallen since they listed in October due to concerns that growth rates and margins might not be sustainable. However, AN backed its guidance for revenue to increase from £86 million to £100 million this year, bolstered by the rollout at Holland & Barrett and three new US distribution deals. Despite growing competition, AN’s valuation isn’t “too taxing” given expectations of strong earnings growth. 110p

The rest...

1. Foresight Group (LSE: FSG)
This is Money
Foresight Group works with local authority pension funds to invest in up-and-coming businesses so they can develop, generate jobs, and fuel growth in deprived regions. Profits have almost tripled since flotation in 2021, with £64 million forecast for the year to 31 March 2025, while dividends have soared. Yet Foresight’s shares have fallen, which is “unjust and should reverse”. The group aims to double earnings to £120 million by 2029, and brokers forecast a 25.7p dividend for next year. Foresight is a “well-run, well-regarded” firm with an annual 7% yield. Buy (330p).

2. Pan African Resources (LSE: PAF)
The Telegraph
Pan African Resources, having to contend with South Africa’s creaking electricity grid, recently bought Tennant Consolidated in Australia, bringing “welcome geographic diversification and a big potential kicker” to the miner’s gold output, although the move has also had the effect of increasing its debt pile. Although Pan African’s stock trades on a “lowly” multiple, given the “prevailing uncertainties, it makes sense” for investors to have an allocation to “haven assets”. “Gold miners could yet dig portfolios out of any tariff trouble.” Buy (40p).
