JD Sports Fashion The Times

Boosted by demand for women’s “athleisure” clothing, JD has experienced an “unprecedented trading boom”. Profits were up 33% on revenue that rose 41%. Expansion to South Korea bodes well. Buy. 376.81p.

Marks & Spencer Group The Daily Telegraph

M&S faces “plenty of challenges” and is a risky play. But a lowly valuation and bearish sentiment means that, with a stop-loss at 300p, the retailer could reward a “speculative punt”. Yields 5.4%. Buy. 347.3p.

Investors Chronicle
