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.
