Sunday newspaper share tips

12 April 2012

EACH weekend, This Is Money brings you a round-up of shares being recommended in the Sunday City pages. Click here for the Mail on Sunday‘s Midas column. Below are tips from other newspapers.

Sunday Times

Clinton Cards
The specialist card retailer is hoping to liven up its reputation with its first foray overseas and is planning a short hop to Dublin. The move could provide the scope for further growth, says the paper. Shares are at 165p.

TTP Communications
the mobile phone technology firm has been sliding back towards its September low despite winning a series of contracts. Independent research website Equity Investigator reckons it looks good value at 93p but investors will need to be patient, the paper says.

Cluff Mining
The mining firm is enjoying a good run, its shares having more than doubled since the start of last year. The firm is now a committed platinum producer and some think the shares have much further to rise from 263p.

Sunday Telegraph

Multi Group
The tool and equipment hire specialist, at 19 1/2p, has bounced back strongly with the shares almost doubling since hitting a low of 10 1/4p in September. But as a relative minnow it has been ignored compared with larger tool-hire rivals. Shares still look good value.

Austin Reed
The clothing retailer is undergoing a transformation and is poised to expand its Country Casuals Petite collection into 80 stores. Last week the shares jumped to 176p, still short of analysts' 200p-210p target. Buy on any weakness in coming months, the paper says.

Countrywide Assured
The financial services and estate agencies group, at 148 1/2p, has been buoyed by the strong housing market. Though there are signs this is slowing its core market of three-bed semis outside the South East remains buoyant. There should be further upside in the shares.

Chorion
The late night bars and intellectual property firm, at 19 1/2p, has announced it is splitting into two separate quoted companies. Its businesses include the Tiger Tiger bars and ownership of Enid Blyton's characters including Noddy. Shares are tipped a buy.

Pilat Media
Take a look at the tiny software house specialising in the television industry. Shares are at 18 1/2p and the firm has a potentially huge market. It is tipped a buy.

Independent on Sunday

Imperial Tobacco
The City tends to have a blitz on companies that seem to have lost out from the Budget and topping the list of the UK's regular Budget victims are smokers. Cigarette firms BAT, Imperial and Gallaher usually find their shares on the ropes after, but if investors tors are quick enough this represents a good buying opportunity. Imperial is the best stock to head for, and is good to keep in the back pocket as a long-term idea, the paper says.

Sunday Express

Cenes Pharmaceuticals
The drugs company, at 7p, has a solid pipeline of cancer and pain treatments. It has had a torrid two years but is now seen as a recovery play and a possible bid target.

Springwood
The nightclubs operator plans further expansion following last year's takeover of Kingfisher Leisure. But shares have tailed off following February's results. Shares are now attractive at 142p.

Exel
Further signs of US economic recovery could help the logistics group move into a higher gear. Shares at 898 1/2p are probably high enough for now but patient investors could reap the benefit of an economic upturn.

Mothercare
The children's clothes and accessories retailer is slowly recovering from serious problems at a new distribution centre last year which sent shares crashing. There is certainly room for further growth from 248 1/4p.

Quarto
The publishing group has seen stronger orders and improved pricing conditions. Shares, at 105 1/2p, could continue to make happy reading.
