…and some to sell
Babcock International Group Shares
Shares in the engineering support services firm have been sliding for over two years. A post-referendum bounce from a low of 780p does not change the bigger picture of the downtrend. Sell. 980p.
Jimmy Choo Investors Chronicle
Director Elisabeth Murdoch has bought £34,000-worth of shares in the designer shoe label. But shares are exposed to a softening in global consumer spending and lack momentum, and trading updates are thin on detail. Sell. 105p.
Land Securities Group The Daily Telegraph
The EU vote has accelerated a cooling of commercial property market prices, and Land Securities, which focuses on London offices and retail, looks set to decline. “The peak of the market has passed.” Sell. £10.87.
Lloyds Banking Group Shares
The bank’s focus on retail and business markets, and its exposure to property, means it will be hit hard by the vote to leave the EU. Further cost cuttings and efficiencies could include lower dividends. Sell. 55.43p.
Sky Shares
The media giant’s solid uptrend since 2008 has faltered this year and it has broken some recent lows. It has made little progress since the referendum and could be vulnerable to falls if the market gives up gains. Sell. 890p.
Whitbread The Mail on Sunday
Barclays is concerned about two key Whitbread assets – Premier Inn hotels and the Costa coffee chain – following weaker results from rival Starbucks and poor June sales owing to wet weather. Sell. £37.33.
