…and some to hold, avoid or sell

Countryside Properties Shares

The housebuilder’s involvement with housing associations and local authorities provides some insulation from a downturn in the market. But the backdrop looks uncertain enough to bank profits. Sell. 355.2p.

Domino’s Pizza Group Investors Chronicle

Domino’s has entered a joint venture with its largest London franchisee to expand across the capital. But revenues have slowed and it faces growing competition, economic uncertainty and cost inflation. Sell. 273p.

Epwin Group Investors Chronicle

The building products-maker faces “significant headwinds” from a sharp rise in raw materials costs caused by sterling’s weakness. Problems within its customer base don’t help; Epwin faces losing 10% of revenue. Sell. 76.5p.

Ibstock Shares

Shares in the brick maker are “starting to run out of steam”. Debt has increased and market pressures are mounting. Given reports that the Help to Buy scheme may be scrapped early, it “may be prudent to book some profit”. Sell. 232.4p.

Kaz Minerals The Mail on Sunday

This Kazakhstan-focused copper miner has narrowed its full-year production guidance, and has decided to reduce debt rather than pay an interim dividend. Deutsche Bank names a price target of 500p. Sell. 716p.

Next Sharecast

Berenberg is concerned that the retailer is failing to defend market share because customers are being denied what they want: good product and free home delivery. Excessive floor space is a burden. Sell. £43.95.
