The week’s best buys

British Land The Times

ITV Investors Chronicle

Paddy Power Betfair The Times

RWS Holdings The Daily Telegraph

This patent translation services group has been hit by weakness in the dollar. But it is well managed, with healthy cash flow, good return on equity and a strong balance sheet. This is a “short-term hiccup”. Buy. 385p.

Stobart Group Investors Chronicle

The infrastructure firm is disposing of non-core assets, and growing its aviation and energy divisions. Set to benefit from the expansion of Southend Airport, which it owns. Risky, but with clear potential. Buy. 251p.
