Barclays
What it does: Barclays is a world financial institution with a presence in over 40 nations.
By Charlie Keough. A mud-cheap FTSE 100 inventory I personal and plan to purchase extra shares in is Barclays (LSE: BARC). Its share value has skyrocketed within the final yr, however I nonetheless see worth.
It trades on simply 8.6 instances earnings, comfortably beneath the FTSE 100 common (11). What’s extra, I’m enthusiastic about what the instances forward might have in retailer for the enterprise.
In its 2023 full-year outcomes, CEO CS Venkatakrishnan introduced the financial institution’s plan to avoid wasting billions over the subsequent couple of years because it vies to handle weaknesses which have held it again in previous instances.
After all, that may include challenges. Ought to it fail to succeed in its targets, that would go away shareholders upset. I’m additionally acutely aware of rate of interest cuts impacting its web curiosity margins.
However wanting undervalued, I’m bullish on Barclays for the long run. There’s additionally a 3.6% dividend yield to supply some wholesome passive earnings.

Coca Cola HBC
What it does: Coca Cola HBC produces and distributes Coca-Cola merchandise throughout 28 nations in Europe and elements of Africa.
By Ben McPoland. Shares of Coca-Cola HBC (LSE: CCH) are up 16.5% yr so far (as I write), simply outpacing the FTSE 100’s return. And so they’ve surged greater than 70% since bottoming out simply over two years in the past.
Nonetheless, I believe they will proceed rising. The agency is a key bottling companion for The Coca-Cola Firm, giving it a really robust aggressive benefit. In addition to Coke, it sells timeless manufacturers like Fanta, Sprite, and Schweppes, in addition to power drinks by Monster Beverage. Branded espresso drinks is a fast-growing space (Coca-Cola owns Costa Espresso).
Crucially, disposable incomes are rising in lots of its Jap European markets, the place robust financial progress is forecast over the medium and long run. The Metropolis sees income rising from €10.2bn final yr to round €11.7bn by 2026.
In the meantime, the inventory nonetheless appears to be like good worth at 14.6 instances ahead earnings. That’s noticeably cheaper than Coca-Cola (22.2).
A possible danger to keep in mind right here is the rise of GLP–1 weight-loss medication, which may scale back cravings for sugary drinks. Nonetheless, the agency’s portfolio is more and more numerous and in addition contains bottled water and more healthy plant-based drinks.

Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Firm
What it does: Coca-Cola HBC bottles a broad vary of non-alcoholic drinks in 29 nations throughout Europe and Africa.
Coca-Cola HBC’s (LSE:CCH) share value has rebounded strongly over the previous yr. It means the FTSE 100 drinks bottler has virtually doubled in worth since mid-2014.
There’s good motive to anticipate it to proceed surging over the long run, too. On one hand, the agency will be thought of a basic defensive inventory.
Labels like Coke, Sprite and Fanta stay in excessive demand in any respect factors of the financial cycle, offering the enterprise with supreme earnings stability over time.
However Coca-Cola HBC’s substantial rising market publicity additionally makes it an thrilling progress share, in my view. The corporate’s push into fast-growing product classes like espresso and power drinks additionally offers it a superb probability to supercharge earnings.
Metropolis analysts suppose earnings right here will rise 26% in 2024. This leaves the agency buying and selling on a mega-low price-to-earnings progress (PEG) ratio of 0.6.
Although Coca-Cola HBC faces important competitors from different business heavyweights like PepsiCo and Keurig Dr Pepper, on stability I believe it could possibly be an important inventory to purchase.

Marks and Spencer Group
What it does: Marks and Spencer is a number one British retailer promoting meals, clothes and homeware.
By Paul Summers. The revival of Marks and Spencer (LSE: MKS) in the previous couple of years has been nothing wanting astounding. Return to 2022 and I might choose up the inventory for lower than a pound a pop. As I sort, these shares change palms for slightly below £3.
There could possibly be extra positive factors to come back, particularly as the corporate acknowledged in Could that it was “assured” it will make extra progress in its new monetary yr. This was after saying a 58% soar in annual revenue within the twelve months to March 2024 – excess of analysts have been anticipating.
However this, a rebound in inflation and additional delay to rate of interest cuts might achieve maintaining some customers away. That is additionally a low-margin enterprise in an extremely aggressive area.
However with a price ticket of 11 instances forecast earnings, I don’t suppose Marks is overvalued but.

Rightmove
What it does: Rightmove is Britain’s greatest on-line property market for brokers, consumers, renters and builders.
By Oliver Rodzianko. Rightmove (LSE:RMV) is the UK’s most distinguished digital property platform. Surprisingly, it’s presently a price alternative, in my view. The rationale that is uncommon is that the agency persistently delivers excessive progress, together with an annual earnings progress price of 25% over the previous three years.
At the moment, the price-to-earnings ratio for the shares has dropped round 24% from its 10-year median. This comes at a time when high analysts imagine the corporate goes to proceed to develop for the foreseeable future.
I believe one of many issues the enterprise must be cautious of in the meanwhile is AI. Plenty of new corporations are going to start out that utilise superior machine studying instruments. Subsequently, administration wants to ensure it stays aggressive.
Nonetheless, I can’t see Rightmove being outcompeted any time quickly. Proper now, I believe the present valuation is a major alternative and probably value my money.
