The week’s best shares
Centamin The Sunday Times
The gold miner had a disappointing 2018. But, with a refreshed board, it is “turning a corner” as output recovers and the gold price rallies. Panmure Gordon gives a 140p price target. Buy. 118p.
Glaxosmithkline The Daily Telegraph
GSK’S split into two businesses – a consumer healthcare firm (a new joint venture with Pfizer) and a separate drug arm – should mean gains for investors. The former’s healthy margins and strong cash flow can support its high debt. Yields 5.5%. Buy. £14.52.
Investors Chronicle

Inchcape The Times
This new and used car retailer is the exclusive distributor for Toyota, Lexus and Suzuki in Asia, where it operates on 10.9% margins. Cash generative and undervalued, with an estimated 4.7% yield. Buy. 573p.
The Sunday Telegraph
This catalytic converter specialist’s hot new product is ELNO (enhanced lithium nickel oxide) – which holds out the promise of cheap, high-density car batteries and power cells. Not risk-free, but fairly valued with a good record. Buy. £30.45.
Onesavings Bank The Daily Telegraph
Despite the woes of rival Metro Bank, this challenger is worth a look. Lowly valued, with expected single-digit earnings growth and a 3.7% yield. Strong capital reserves help offset risks. Buy. 386p.
