SUNDAY TIMES
James Fisher, the shipping company, primarily carries petrol and diesel on behalf of the oil majors. Profit growth looks set to continue and both chairman and chief executive have bought stock. At 118 1/2 p, shares appear seaworthy.

Plumbers merchant Wolseley should deliver another solid set of results on Tuesday, with housing starts in the US - where it makes two-thirds of sales - remaining resilient. UBS Warburg rates Wolseley as a buy at 636p.

Synergy Healthcare, the hospital laundry firm, should add another £50 million to its order book from an expected deal to buy Hays Clinical Services. Synergy has grown steadily since flotation last summer and shares are now 225p.

Sunday Telegraph
Online betting firm Gaming Insight, operator of the Harrods online casino, should complete a fund-raising process this week before signing a clutch of joint venture deals. Shares are tipped to recover from 6p, near a record low.

Hanover International, the four-star hotel group, appears to offer value in a sector recovering after September 11. Its position for acquisitions should benefit from a joint venture with Royal Bank of Scotland. Buy at 100p.

An oversubscribed rights issue at Dyson Group - a maker of materials for foundries - showed strong investor demand for the company's shares. Given its focus on higher growth areas, shares are a buy at 190 1/2 p.

Profits at BBA, the materials and aviation services group, have been hurt by September 11, although it now appears well-placed to benefit from an upturn in the US economy and increased use of corporate jets. Buy at 293p.

Sunday Express
Hit Entertainment, the company behind Bob the Builder, has established a leading position in preschool children's entertainment. Products such as Pingu should keep the success story running and shares are tipped to rise from 361p.

Shares in Internet publisher Lavendon have fallen to half of their level at the height of the dotcom boom but the company has 170 publishing customers and could become more attractive as it heads towards break-even. Worth a look at 156p.

Sports-based media group should benefit from a World Cup advertising boom on its TEAMtalk 252 radio station this summer. With the company having more than £20 million cash, shares could be worth tuning in at 3 3/4 p.

Retailer Homestyle's shares have fallen 20% this year, although like-for-like sales are ahead 12% and margins have improved. The group aims to boost its share of the furniture market and shares look cheap at 309p.
