Restaurant Group operates the Frankie & Benny's, Chiquito and Garfunkel's brands. It showed good form in the half year to early July, growing adjusted pre-tax profits by 7.7 per cent to £24.6m. The group also grew its sales on outlets open at least a year by 3%, adding it had continued this momentum since the period end, despite the riots in August and downbeat consumer spending. On a forward earnings multiple of just over 11, we think the Restaurant Group is worth a nibble. Buy, says the Independent.Financial advisory group Hargreaves Lansdown has continued to attract new business flows despite operating in some of the most volatile markets in recent history. Although Hargreaves now trades on about 20 times forecast earnings, the company has continued to provided excellent returns for its investors. Hold, says the Telegraph.The market has well and truly fallen out of love with Hays. As a global recruiter of a wide range of staff, secretaries, accountants, whatever, the company is heavily exposed to global economic trends, and it managed to report some admittedly good results on the day a fresh range of dismal indicators worldwide were also announced. The shares sell on 11 times this year's earnings; that does not look like a signal to buy, says the Times.Monitise provides a platform for mobile phone banking services. This is a growth area, and analysts expect it to double revenues year on year for the appreciable future. Monitise is on target to break into a pre-tax profit by 2013, as envisaged when the company unveiled its global ambitions two years ago. The company is best seen as a dot-com ? exciting, but don't bet the farm, the Times says.Cosalt, the offshore services company, expanded too fast and was hit by the downturn in the North Sea. There is continuing legal action over alleged fraud by former employees. Interim losses before tax and one-offs deepened to £3.3m, from £1.2m, but this is a largely historical figure. The shares are now a penny stock but it is probably too soon to consider them again, says the Times.The newly-listed Spirit Pub Company (which Punch bought in 2005 for a now laughable price of £2.68bn), is now focused on managed pubs. Many ale drinkers view managed pubs with the suspicion of a flat pint of tasteless Australian lager. But to investors they offer an interesting proposition. On the presumption that it can continue to sell increasing amounts of food and pay down its debts, the company should be able to pay a dividend yield of about 5pc within two years, brokers at Numis estimate. Buy, says the Telegraph.It comes as little surprise to us that Rolls-Royce has bounced back from its problems last November, when a Qantas Airbus was forced into an emergency landing in the wake of the near disintegration of one of the engineering group's Trent 900 turbines.The company saw £1bn wiped off its value as a result of that incident, but since then the shares have recovered ground. Rolls comfortably met hopes when it released its half-year results in July and we don't see it letting investors down any time soon. Buy, says the Independent.Good things come to those who wait, or so goes the old saw. But stock market investors, an impatient lot at the best of times, appear to be in no mood to hang around Huntsworth, the public relations group that has seen its shares trade down in the wake of last week's results. It trades on multiples of around six times the estimates for next year. All the while, it boasts a forecast yield of around 6 per cent.
