The week’s best buys

- Tyman

Balfour Beatty The Times

The constructi­on firm’s recovery plan has largely been implemente­d – it’s now focused on both the UK and the US and has a decent cash pile. Margin improvemen­ts should also push up the share price. Buy. 271.5p.

Cineworld Group Investors Chronicle

Profits were hit by a one-off pension buyout, but the cinema operator’s European revenues are growing, and it suffers minimal impact from forex rates as costs are paid in local currency. Expansion is a top priority. Buy. 645p.

Fidelity Asian Values The Mail on Sunday

Fidelity is invested in about 160 fast-growing, undervalue­d businesses in Asia and Australasi­a: from a Bollywood studio to a semi-conductor maker. A ruthless focus on delivering growth is spurring impressive results. Buy. 387p.

PZ Cussons Shares

The maker of Imperial Leather has a wealth of heritage brands which should help it weather macro and currency issues. A strong balance sheet and a healthy new product pipeline bode well for recovery. Buy. 326.9p.

Investors Chronicle

Tyman supplies engineered parts used in doors and windows. Organic growth and two “significan­t” acquisitio­ns in the US, where the housing market is growing, are driving profits up. Yields 4.4%. Buy. 304p.

ULS Technology The Daily Telegraph

ULS’ systems provide a useful introducto­ry service, linking homebuyers and sellers to legal profession­als. Growing rapidly in a period of subdued activity, the firm should profit from a re-mortgaging surge when interest rates rise. Buy. 99p.
