…and some to sell

Audioboom Shares

The audio social media platform has fallen “wildly behind” its maiden profit expectations. Directors are buying: property tycoon Nick Candy has added another £1m to his stake. But it remains highly speculative. Sell. 2.63p.

Bunzl The Times

“The king of disposables”, from supermarket bags to paper cups, is an “acquisition machine”, with 23 years of unbroken dividend growth. Revenues, profits and shares are up, but the rating is almost “preposterous”. Sell. £24.13.

Camellia Investors Chronicle

Camellia’s engineering division has been hit by the oil and gas slump, and losses have doubled in its banking and financial arm. The agriculture division has reported trading profit of £7.3m, but is vulnerable to weather. Sell. £84.01p.

Hays The Mail on Sunday

The recruiter has recovered since shares took a tumble post-referendum. But there’s a slowdown in London, and big clients are cautious. Deutsche Bank blames structural stresses and technological and demographic changes. Sell. 129.9p.

Jimmy Choo Investors Chronicle

The luxury shoemaker is dependent on brand strength to achieve medium-term goals, but is suffering soft demand and lower sales to international tourists in the US. Reliance on Asia, where growth is slowing, is worrying. Sell. 124p.

Sports Direct Investors Chronicle

Following another run of bad press and calls for action from investors, the stewardship group Investor Forum is now undertaking a full-scale review of the discount sports chain’s corporate practices and policies. Sell. 297.3p.
