The week’s best buys

Admiral Group The Times

Shares in the insurance group have fallen despite “good enough” half-year figures and rising premiums. Admiral’s low cost-base should help it weather volatility, and worries about the solvency ratio look overstated. Buy. £21.22.

Air Partner The Mail on Sunday

Air Partner’s main business is chartering commercial, private and freight jets – and business is brisk thanks to growing global demand. Successful moves into brokering aircraft sales and air safety bode well. Undervalued. Buy. 377.5p.

Games Workshop The Daily Telegraph

After going through difficult times in 2015, shares in the table-top games-maker have now recovered and are offering good value – with strong cash generation and healthy overseas sales. Buy. 535p.

Ithaca Energy The Daily Telegraph

Despite suffering deep losses in the first half, the North Sea oil explorer should be on the verge of a production boom when its Greater Stella oil field opens. Cost efficiencies and progress on tackling net debt should further strengthen its position. Buy. 67p.

Just Eat London Evening Standard

Heartened by “a beast” of a first half, broker Jefferies has upped its rating for the online takeaway company and increased profit forecasts by 18%. The new target price is 1000p. Buy. 599.5p.

Mears Group The Times

Recent acquisitions have seen Mears branch out of its core social housing business into care provision. The National Living Wage has meant a rethink of business partnerships, but continuing contracts with local authorities bode well long term. Buy. 416p.
