The week’s best shares
Auto Trader Shares
The online car marketplace is motoring ahead with a new joint venture with Cox Automotive to launch a wholesale digital platform. Assuming the move gets competition clearance, it will open up a new market. Buy. 377.1p.
CVS Group Shares
The vet services group has been a “long-term predator” in its sector, but may itself prove easy prey in the current round of M&A. After a spate of trading problems, shares look temptingly weak. Buy. 926.5p.
The Sunday Telegraph
This concert and festivals group offers touring artists a “one-stop shop” service. Its recent move to close two of its ticket resale websites should help squeeze ticket touts out of the market. Buy. $49.48.
On The Beach Daily Mail
Berenberg has upped its price target for the travel company, from 600p to 630p, noting that the firm’s in-line trading statement, together with the acquisition of Classic Collection Holidays, showed it could deliver strong earnings growth. Buy. 503p.
TBC Bank Investors Chronicle
Georgia’s largest banking group seems unconcerned by the turmoil in Turkey. Customer lending is up by a fifth and yield on retail loans is rising. An expenses cutback has improved the cost-toincome ratio. Buy. £16.48.
Yu Group Shares
The energy arm of this property services group has emerged as an alternative to the Big Six. Shares are highly rated, but Yu has beaten earnings estimates. An “outstanding growth opportunity”. Buy. 897.5p.
