Share Tips from the Papers | |
The Independent on Wednesday tips Debenhams, although the paper writes, dont expect the shares to set the world alight. The department store believes it could grow to beyond 200 UK outlets whilst the shares have fallen from a 12-month high and trade on a 2010 price to earnings ratio of 9.4, a substantial discount to the sector average of 14 times. Buy says the Independent.
Gem Diamonds balance sheet is strong after raising $75m from a share placing last year. Buy says the Telegraph on Wednesday. With in-excess of $112m in the bank and no debt, the group can now look for opportunities for growth and possible acquisitions. The paper points out that, whilst the shares are trading on earnings multiple of 52 times as of Dec 2009, it falls to 17.8 in 2011 if the market recovery gathers pace.
Wednesdays Times reviews marine services company James Fisher who, the paper believes, presence in a clutch of higher-margin niches should still ensure that profits move ahead this year. At ten times 2010 earnings, the shares are a buy says the Times.
The Independent also reviewed James Fisher on Wednesday adding that the group as a whole is performing well and trading on price-earnings ratio well below historic levels. Buy says the Independent.
GW Pharmaceuticals is one of the few companies in the world to make cannabis based medicines, primarily important to the treatment of Multiple Sclerosis. The GW Pharma product is Sativex, an oromucosal spray and company has received favourable verdicts from regulators who have indicated no major quality, safety or efficacy issues. Company is in the process of preparing final wording of the patient leaflet after which the regulator submission process will enter its final phase.
GW Pharma have indicated that it expects that it will achieve regulatory approval in the UK and Spain during the second quarter of 2010. It has also indicated that marketting for Sativex has been agreed in the UK through Bayer Schering Pharma and in the rest of the European Union marketting for Sativex will be handled by Almirall. GW commented that the present new progress with Sativex provides further validation of GW's cannabinoid platform and the significant long term promise of GW's portfolio of cannabinoid medicines.
Consort Medical, who were discussing synergies with Advanced Medical Solutions with the possibility of bid and takeover, have indicated that the exploratory discussion are ended. Advanced Medical Solutions, who specialise in wound care, were seen as a possible a fit for Consort who operate in drug delivery products and devices but Advanced Medical Solutions rejected two indicative approaches with Consort not willing to improve the terms of offer. Meanwhile, AMS announced an increase in profit from £2.7m to £4.1m in 2009 and has net cash of £1.7m. The company is to pay a dividend for the 2010 with level to be set later in the year.
