Centralnic The Mail on Sunday

Turnover at this top-level domain name seller has jumped 113%, and underlying profits have grown by 68%, thanks to expansion and the “astute acquisitio­n” of Instra Group. Expect further growth as the sector consolidat­es. Buy. 51.1p.

Conviviali­ty Shares

Drinks wholesaler Convivalit­y remains “resilient” in a tough consumer market, thanks to its competitiv­e pricing and market reach. Full-year profits are up 100%, and “compelling cash generation” has boosted the total dividend. Buy. 339.7p.

Glencore The Sunday Telegraph

Shares in the commoditie­s giant are up fourfold since their 2016 nadir, and its balance sheet hasn’t been so strong since its flotation. Given rising commodity prices, there’s hope of more to come. Worth a short-term punt. Buy. 313.55p.

Morgan Sindall Group The Sunday Times

This constructi­on firm “can do little wrong”, consistent­ly topping the list of contractor­s winning the most work. They aren’t blockbuste­r deals, but “they add up”. Shares are up 119% in a year, but there is “room to grow”. Buy. £12.84.

Shaftesbur­y Investors Chronicle

Shaftesbur­y’s property portfolio – which includes nearly 600 buildings and 14.5 acres in London’s West End – seems “Brexit-proof”. A steady income stream and rental growth should ensure it weathers any economic downturn. Buy. 978p.

Walker Greenbank Investors Chronicle

This luxury interior furnishing­s group has bounced back from a devastatin­g factory flood. Internatio­nal orders and licensing sales are rising, and there’s a major acquisitio­n in the pipeline. Buy. 228p.
