Sunday tips round-up: Wood Group, Wincanton, Mothercare

Sun, 30th Aug 2009 11:51

Wood Group's shares are trading on a December 2009 earnings multiple of 11.9, but this rises to 12.8 next year when earnings are expected to trough. The company upped its interim dividend by 11pc, but the yield is just 1.8pc after the recent strong gains. The long-term story is intact, but the Telegraph believes investors should now bank this gain as part of a cautious investment strategy. Wincanton is not a screaming buy, but its core business provides the basis for secure future income and profitability. Dividends also offer a significant cushion for investors. If it can overhaul its Continental operations and benefit from recovery in those economies it could enjoy a marked revaluation. At 215p the shares are a buy, says the Daily Mail.Apparently, Britain is experiencing a new baby boom. This, for obvious reasons, is good news for stores like Mothercare, which owns the eponymous baby goods retailer and the Early Learning Centre. The shares are trading on a March 2010 earnings multiple of 16.8 times, which is not extremely cheap, but this falls to 15.2 in 2011 and 13.7 in 2012. This does not seem overstretched considering that the store is operating in an obvious bull market and underscored by the fundamental rise in the birth rate. The prospective yield is now 2.8pc. The stance on the shares remains buy, says the Telegraph.Amlin saw pre-tax profits jump to £177.1m for the six months ending June 30, up from £137.3m last year. However, short-term risks prevail, including the Atlantic hurricane season, which is now getting into full swing. Long-term prospect for the business are sound but with near-term return potentially limited the stance now has to be hold, says the Telegraph.Please note: Digital Look provides a round-up of news, tips and information that is impacting share prices and the market.
