Back on Track

The FT says the economy didn’t grow but we’re officially back to pre-COVID levels and all stock picks are a mix of 92% BUY, 3% HOLD AND 5% SELL.

1. BUY Tinybuild

Top interesting stock pick this week is BUY Tinybuild by Royston Wild in The Motley Fool with a tip performance of 9%. Especially interesting, Berenberg’s Tinybuild BUY pick was top 2 weeks ago – things keep happening for this video games manufacturer!

Tinybuild is the games publisher on everyone’s lips this week: though the share price is down 60% this year; the company itself seems full of woes with higher software spend and a missing CEO who left for family reasons with no replacement planned, hope is in the air.

Lucy Tobin in the Times looks at the market and is optimistic about TinyBuild’s recovery based on its own forecasts, release map & owning its own IP.

Royston Wild bases his advice on market value and reports an undervalued stock.

Tinybuild share price listed at £2.10 in March 2021 and today is at just 44p.

Four out of four analysts in Stockomendation rate Tinybuild as BUY: they are Berenberg, Lucy Tobin, Royston Wild and Shore Capital. There are no active short positions open.

2. BUY Ninety One

Second interesting stock pick this week is BUY Ninety One by Jon Smith in The Motley Fool with a tip performance of 5%.

An ‘active global investment manager,’ Ninety One listed at 157p in 2020 and is today at 189p. Jon Smith cites a focus on emerging markets as a reason for interest; but with £3.2 billion outflows in the second half of 2022, positivity may be seen as a bold choice.

Two of four analysts rate it as a BUY in Stockomendation being HSBC and Jon Smith, Numis says REDUCE and Bank of America weighs in with an UNDERPERFORM rating. There are 2 active short positions held by GLG Partners & Blackrock. See the full picture here.

3. BUY DCC

Third interesting stock pick this week is BUY DCC by Harvey Jones in The Motley Fool with a tip performance of 3%.

Journalists seem underwhelmed by this stock with headlines reading: investors are in the red if they invested 5 years ago, analysts rate other stocks as better buys, and ‘debt mushrooms.’

The Irish international sales & marketing support organisation is owned mostly by institutions – 22 investors own 50% of the stock. Barclays did the IPO, so can we believe the rating? Not sure but Harvey Jones mentions the bull market coming and cites undervaluation as a possible reason to buy.

DCC listed at 248p in 1994 and is riding high at 4,855p today and suffered 18% losses over the past year.

In Stockomendation three of three analysts rate it as BUY or long-term BUY being Christopher Ruane, Harvey Jones and Kevin Godbold and there is 1 active short position held by Worldquant. More info here.
