The Week

…and some to sell

-

Debenhams The Daily Telegraph

The turnaround at the UK’S second-largest department store has stalled, and profits are being squeezed. It is saddled with debt and looks ill-prepared for a downturn, leaving the near 5% prospectiv­e yield highly exposed. Sell. 69.7p.

Easyjet The Sunday Times

A crashing pound, making foreign holidays pricier, and a possible UK recession bode ill for the budget airline. So does the issue of whether Britain will remain inside the single EU aviation market. Sell. £13.13.

Filtronic Shares

Filtronic makes microwave kit for mobile and broadband infrastruc­ture. There are promising signs of a boom in demand, but investors have been disappoint­ed by hype in the past. Best to remain sceptical. Sell. 11.12p.

Findel Investors Chronicle

The retail group has offloaded Kitbag, its sporting goods business, but its educationa­l division is under pressure from squeezed government budgets. Meanwhile, the express gifts arm is suffering from Forex movements. Sell. 153p.

Hornby Investors Chronicle

The model-train maker, whose brands include Scalextric and Corgi, has announced a turnaround plan and £8m fundraisin­g. But the firm’s losses have increased from £200,000 to £13.5m. Sell. 30p.

IAG The Mail on Sunday

The British Airways owner issued a profit warning within a few hours of the referendum result. HSBC, which reduced its ratings on all European airlines following the vote, has slashed IAG’S target price dramatical­ly, from 610p to 375p. Sell. 409p.
