TRADER TIPS

What City insiders are recommending . . .

BUY THIS: Auto Trader

INVESTEC has given this car classified firm a ‘Buy’ rating.

Auto Trader has an 80pc share of its market with more than 55m visits a month.

Investec said: ‘We see Auto as a well-placed structural growth story.’

SELL THIS: Countrywide

ANALYSTS at Peel Hunt have issued a ‘Reduce’ rating following a difficult year for the estate agent.

This week Countrywide reported a £212m loss that sent its share price tumbling.

And Peel Hunt reckons the lettings fee ban in 2019 will have a further negative impact on performance.
